Q709
Q709 – Q709
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q709 as the mandatory registration code when billing the K030 or K031 chronic disease management incentive fees for patients with diabetes.
- Apply this code to the claim submission to satisfy the administrative requirement for tracking patient enrollment in the Diabetes Management Incentive program.
Common Pitfalls
- Failing to include Q709 on the same claim as the K030 or K031 fee will result in an automatic rejection of the incentive payment.
- Billing Q709 more than once per patient per year is redundant and serves no purpose, as the incentive is limited to an annual frequency.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Q709 is submitted with a zero-dollar amount to avoid claim processing errors while acting as the necessary trigger for the associated K-code incentive.
