W107 – Type 3 admission assessment
OHIP Neurology Code — CONSULTATIONS AND VISITS · Schedule of Benefits
A Type 3 admission assessment is a general re-assessment of a patient who is re-admitted to the long-term care institution after a minimum 3 day stay in another institution.
When to Use
- Use W107 when a patient returns to your long-term care facility after an acute care hospital stay lasting at least 72 hours.
- Use this code for the formal re-admission assessment when the patient does not qualify for a full W102 admission assessment due to the nature of their return.
Common Pitfalls
- Claiming W107 in the same calendar month as W010 will result in an automatic rejection, as W107 is bundled into the monthly management fee.
- Billing W107 for patients returning from a hospital stay of less than 3 days is an audit risk; these should be billed as routine visits.
Billing Tips
- If you perform a W107, ensure you do not bill W010 for that specific month, or you must adjust your billing to account for the inclusion of the assessment in the monthly fee.
