Q680 – Q680
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q680 to bill for the completion of the 'Physician's Report' (Form 1) required for the involuntary psychiatric assessment of a patient under the Mental Health Act.
- Apply this code when a physician performs a formal assessment and determines that the patient meets the criteria for an involuntary admission, necessitating the completion of the legal documentation.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q680 in conjunction with a standard office visit code like A007, as the assessment and documentation are considered inclusive of the service.
- Avoid using Q680 for voluntary psychiatric assessments or routine mental health consultations, as it is strictly reserved for the legal Form 1 documentation process.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's health card number and the specific date of the assessment are accurately recorded, as this code is frequently audited for compliance with Mental Health Act requirements.
