Q673 – Q673
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q673 to bill for the completion of the Ontario Ministry of Health's 'Application for Approval of Out-of-Country Hospital Services' form.
- Apply this code when submitting the necessary documentation to secure prior approval for medically necessary services not available in Ontario.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q673 if the patient is seeking elective procedures that do not meet the strict 'medically necessary' criteria defined by the Ministry.
- Avoid using this code for services that are available within Ontario, as these claims will be rejected for failing to meet the 'not available in Ontario' requirement.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the application is accompanied by a detailed specialist report confirming the unavailability of the service in Ontario to prevent administrative rejection.
