X190 – Pantomography
OHIP Laboratory Code — DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
Pantomography is a miscellaneous diagnostic radiological examination. The service is comprised of a technical component (H fee) and a professional component (P fee). As per , the technical component is generally only payable when the service is rendered in a hospital setting.
When to Use
- Use X190 for panoramic dental radiography when performed in a hospital setting for diagnostic purposes.
- Use this code when a patient requires a full-arch dental scan to assess trauma, pathology, or complex dental conditions as requested by an authorized practitioner.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing the technical component (H fee) for services rendered outside of a hospital setting will result in automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill the technical component for an inpatient or a patient admitted within 24 hours of the service is a violation of the Schedule of Benefits.
- Failure to obtain or document the required referral from a physician, nurse practitioner, or oral maxillofacial surgeon will lead to audit recovery.
Billing Tips
- Ensure you are correctly splitting the claim into the professional (P) and technical (H) components to align with hospital-based billing requirements.
- Verify that the patient's admission status is checked against the 24-hour rule before submitting the technical component to avoid non-compliance.
