T233 – T233
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T233 for the initial consultation of a patient referred by another physician for a specific psychiatric assessment.
- Apply this code when the assessment requires a formal written report to the referring physician, distinguishing it from a standard K007 psychotherapy session.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T233 in conjunction with a K007 on the same day is a common rejection trigger, as the consultation fee is intended to cover the initial evaluation.
- Failing to include the referring physician's billing number on the claim will result in an automatic rejection by the Ministry.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the referral is documented as a formal request from another physician to justify the consultation fee over a standard assessment code.
