Q715
Q715 – Q715
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q715 to bill for the completion of a mandatory Ministry of Health form or a specific administrative task that does not carry a direct fee but requires tracking for shadow billing purposes.
- Apply this code when submitting data for specific provincial programs that mandate a zero-dollar entry to verify the encounter occurred without triggering a standard service fee.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q715 in conjunction with a standard office visit code like A007, which may lead to claim rejections or audit flags for duplicate service reporting.
- Misinterpreting Q715 as a billable service fee; it is a non-remunerative code and will result in zero payment from OHIP.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Q715 is only used when explicitly required by the specific program guidelines, as it serves as a statistical placeholder rather than a revenue-generating code.
