T690 – T690
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T690 for the initial assessment and management of a patient presenting with a confirmed diagnosis of frostbite, specifically when the service is provided by a specialist.
- Apply this code when the clinical complexity of the cold injury requires a comprehensive evaluation that exceeds the scope of a standard consultation or minor assessment code.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T690 in conjunction with a standard consultation code (A005 or similar) for the same patient encounter will result in a rejection for duplicate service.
- Failing to provide a specific diagnostic code related to cold injury (ICD-9 991.0-991.3) will trigger an automatic claim rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical record clearly distinguishes the T690 service from routine follow-up visits, which should be billed using appropriate subsequent visit codes.
