R999 – R999
OHIP Radiology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use R999 as a placeholder code when a claim is submitted for administrative purposes or to satisfy system requirements where no specific fee-for-service code applies.
- Utilize this code when documenting a 'no-charge' encounter that must be recorded in the OHIP system for tracking purposes, such as certain specialized program reporting.
Common Pitfalls
- Attempting to use R999 to bypass billing edits for services that actually have a defined fee code will result in immediate rejection.
- Relying on R999 for patient encounters that should be billed under standard assessment codes like A007 or A001 leads to lost revenue and inaccurate practice profiles.
Billing Tips
- Ensure R999 is only used when explicitly instructed by the Ministry of Health or specific billing software protocols for non-remunerated services.
