Q729
Q729 – Q729
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q729 to bill for the completion of the Ontario Ministry of Health's 'Application for Assistive Devices Program (ADP) - Mobility Devices' form.
- Submit this code when performing the clinical assessment and documentation required to certify a patient's eligibility for government-funded mobility aids like wheelchairs or walkers.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q729 if the patient is currently hospitalized, as the assessment must be performed in an outpatient or community setting to qualify.
- Avoid billing Q729 in conjunction with a general office visit (A007) on the same day unless a separate, distinct clinical issue is addressed and documented.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's valid health card number and the specific mobility device category are clearly linked to the claim to prevent administrative rejections.
- Verify that the patient has not exceeded the frequency limits for the specific mobility device being requested, as Q729 claims may be flagged if the device is not yet eligible for replacement.
