Y837 – Y837
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Y837 as a tracking code to indicate that a specific service was provided via a virtual platform, such as telephone or video, when the primary service code does not inherently include virtual delivery.
- Apply Y837 when billing for specific non-insured or administrative services that require a virtual encounter indicator for internal practice management or provincial reporting requirements.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Y837 as a standalone fee-bearing service, as it carries a $0.00 value and will be rejected if submitted without an associated billable service code.
- Avoid using Y837 for in-person visits, as this will trigger audit flags for inconsistent service location reporting.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Y837 is appended to the claim in the same submission as the primary service code to ensure the virtual nature of the encounter is correctly linked to the professional fee.
