Q671 – Q671
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q671 to bill for the completion of a mandatory Ministry of Health form or a specific administrative task that does not carry a direct fee but requires tracking for shadow billing purposes.
- Apply this code when submitting data for specific provincial programs or pilot projects that require a zero-dollar encounter record to validate service volume.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not use Q671 as a placeholder for clinical encounters; it will not trigger payment and may be flagged during audits for lack of clinical service.
- Avoid billing Q671 alongside A-codes or K-codes for the same patient encounter, as this can trigger a rejection due to conflicting service types.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the associated diagnostic code reflects the administrative nature of the visit, such as Z76.8, to prevent automated system errors.
