Q739 – Q739
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q739 to bill for the completion of a mandatory Ministry of Health form or specific administrative task that does not have a dedicated fee code but is recognized as a non-insured service.
- Apply this code when tracking administrative time spent on patient-specific documentation that is not covered under a standard office visit fee like A007.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q739 in conjunction with an office visit code like A007 for the same patient encounter is often flagged as unbundling if the documentation is considered part of the visit.
- Failing to include the specific diagnostic code or the reason for the administrative service will lead to automatic rejection by the Ministry.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's chart clearly identifies the specific administrative request that necessitated the use of Q739, as this code is frequently subject to post-payment review.
