T350 – T350
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T350 for the initial consultation and assessment of a patient requiring a formal psychiatric evaluation when the service exceeds the scope of a standard A005 or A007 consultation.
- Apply this code when performing a comprehensive psychiatric assessment that includes a detailed history, mental status examination, and formulation of a treatment plan for complex diagnostic cases.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T350 on the same day as a psychotherapy code like K007 or K013 will result in an automatic rejection for duplicate service or unbundling.
- Submitting T350 without a formal referral from another physician or nurse practitioner will lead to a rejection, as this is a consultation-based fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical documentation explicitly supports the complexity of the assessment to justify the T350 fee over a standard consultation code if audited.
- If the patient requires ongoing follow-up after the initial T350, transition to appropriate subsequent visit codes like A005 or K-series codes to avoid billing errors.
