Q698
Q698 – Q698
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q698 as a tracking code to indicate that a patient has been enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) incentive program.
- Apply this code when initiating the formal registration process for a patient into a specific chronic disease management model to trigger eligibility for subsequent management fees.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q698 without an associated diagnosis or without meeting the specific patient eligibility criteria for the chronic disease program will lead to audit flags.
- Attempting to bill Q698 as a standalone service fee is incorrect, as it is a non-monetary administrative tracking code rather than a procedure or assessment code.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Q698 is submitted on the same claim as the initial assessment or management visit to establish the start date of the patient's enrollment period.
