V842 – V842
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use V842 to bill for the completion of the 'Ontario Ministry of Transportation Medical Report' when requested by the Ministry for a patient's driver's license renewal.
- Apply this code when the physician is specifically tasked with assessing a patient's medical fitness to drive as per the MTO requirements, distinct from a standard periodic health examination.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing V842 in addition to a general office visit (A007) or periodic health exam (K013) is considered double-dipping and will result in a rejection or audit recovery.
- Submitting V842 for private insurance forms or employer-requested fitness-to-work letters is incorrect; these are non-insured services that should be billed directly to the patient or third party.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the MTO request letter is clearly referenced in the patient's chart to justify the claim if audited, as this code is specifically tied to provincial regulatory requirements.
