V852 – V852
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use V852 to report a patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30.0 and 34.9 when documenting obesity as a secondary diagnosis for chronic disease management.
- Apply this code in conjunction with K030 or K033 to provide diagnostic context for obesity-related counseling sessions.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill V852 as a primary diagnosis code, as it is an adjunct diagnostic code and will result in a rejection if submitted without a primary medical condition.
- Avoid using V852 if the patient's BMI is outside the 30.0-34.9 range, as V851 or V853 must be used for different obesity classes.
Billing Tips
- Always append V852 to the primary service code (e.g., A007) to ensure the clinical complexity of the encounter is captured for OHIP profile reporting.
