OHIP Consultations and Visits Code — CONSULTATIONS AND VISITS · Schedule of Benefits

This service is for additional subsequent visits after the first four visits per month have been billed under W262, to a maximum of 6 per patient per month. See the General Preamble (, ).
As with all services described as assessments, a direct physical encounter with the patient is required and must be documented in the patient's medical record. ()
In surgical cases requiring medical direction, standard in-hospital medical fees are to be claimed in addition to the surgical fee. This includes all operations on babies under one year of age, and all other older children who require medical supervision.
