V844 – V844
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use V844 to bill for the professional component of a diagnostic test when the technical component is performed elsewhere, such as in a hospital or independent health facility.
- Apply this code when submitting claims for the interpretation of diagnostic imaging or laboratory results where the physician is only responsible for the professional fee component.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing V844 in conjunction with global procedure codes that already include both the professional and technical components, which will lead to automatic rejection for duplicate billing.
- Failing to include the appropriate diagnostic code or facility number required by the Ministry to justify the professional component claim.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the facility number associated with the technical component is correctly appended to the claim to avoid payment delays or manual review requirements.
