V311 – V311
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use V311 for the initial assessment of a newborn in the hospital setting when the infant is born in the facility.
- Apply this code when the physician performs the first comprehensive physical examination of a healthy newborn immediately following birth.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill V311 in conjunction with a standard office visit code, as it is strictly intended for newborn hospital care.
- Avoid billing V311 if the infant requires intensive care or resuscitation, as these scenarios necessitate higher-level neonatal care codes rather than the standard newborn assessment fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the infant's health card number is correctly linked to the mother's account if the baby has not yet been assigned a unique identifier to avoid claim rejection.
