V858 – V858
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use V858 to bill for a telephone consultation initiated by a physician to a patient or their representative when the patient is not present.
- Apply this code for follow-up discussions regarding investigation results or medication adjustments that do not require an in-person examination.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing V858 on the same day as an in-person visit (A007 or A001) for the same patient will result in a rejection for duplicate service.
- Attempting to bill V858 for administrative tasks, such as leaving a voicemail or speaking with a pharmacy, is ineligible as the code requires a direct conversation with the patient or their agent.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the total duration of the telephone consultation is documented, as V858 is a time-based code that must meet the minimum requirements specified in the Schedule of Benefits.
