Q684 – Q684
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q684 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 the Ministry for a patient requiring specialized medical services not available in Ontario.
Common Pitfalls
- Submitting Q684 without the required supporting clinical documentation from the treating specialist will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill Q684 in conjunction with a standard office visit fee (A007) for the same patient encounter is a common cause of audit flags.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's health card number and the specific out-of-country facility details are verified before submission to prevent processing delays.
