Q738 – Q738
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q738 to bill for the completion of the Ontario Ministry of Health's 'Application for Assistive Devices Program' (ADP) form for mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers.
- Apply this code when performing the required clinical assessment and documentation necessary to certify a patient's eligibility for ADP-funded equipment.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q738 if the patient is already covered under a different provincial program that precludes ADP eligibility, as this will result in a rejection.
- Avoid billing Q738 in conjunction with a standard office visit fee (A007) for the same encounter, as the administrative fee is intended to cover the form completion process independently.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's valid health card number and the specific device category are clearly linked in your billing software to prevent automated claim rejections.
