Q888A – Weekend Access for FHO Patients
OHIP Critical Care Code — APPENDIX Q · Schedule of Benefits
A fee payable to physicians participating in the Family Health Organization (FHO) model for providing weekend access for FHO patients.
When to Use
- Use Q888A when providing a weekend service to an enrolled FHO patient that meets the criteria for a K030 or K033 after-hours premium.
- Apply this code specifically for weekend visits occurring between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 23:59 to trigger the additional access premium for FHO physicians.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q888A without an associated after-hours premium code like K030 or K033 will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to claim Q888A for services provided during weekday evening hours is invalid, as it is strictly restricted to weekend timeframes.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the K-code (K030/K033) is billed on the same claim as Q888A to satisfy the requirement for an eligible after-hours service.
