Q717 – Q717
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q717 to bill for the completion of a mandatory Ministry of Health form for a patient requiring a specialized assistive device under the Assistive Devices Program (ADP).
- Apply this code when the physician acts as the authorizing prescriber for mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers, that require specific medical justification for provincial funding.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q717 in conjunction with a standard office visit fee (A007) if the form completion is the sole purpose of the encounter, as the Ministry considers the form fee inclusive of the assessment.
- Avoid using Q717 for private insurance forms or non-ADP related medical equipment documentation, as these are not covered by the Schedule of Benefits.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's ADP eligibility is confirmed prior to submission, as claims for non-eligible patients will be rejected by the Ministry.
