OHIP Diagnostic Radiology Code — DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
X017 is an additional radiological service for the localization of a foreign body in the eye, typically performed following an initial examination such as X016.
This service is comprised of two separately-billed components:
• Technical Component (H): The fee paid to the facility where the x-ray is performed. The technical component is only payable when rendered in a hospital and is not payable for hospital in-patients or for out-patients who are subsequently admitted to hospital within 24 hours for the same condition (see ).
• Professional Component (P): The fee paid to the physician for interpreting the x-ray and providing a report.
Per , claims for diagnostic services with separate technical and professional components are submitted using specific suffixes, which are distinct from surgical suffixes.
