OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Y871 as a mandatory diagnostic code when billing for the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine to a patient in an office setting.
- Apply this code in conjunction with the appropriate service fee code (such as G050) to specifically identify the nature of the immunization encounter for Ministry tracking.
Common Pitfalls
- Failing to include Y871 when billing for COVID-19 vaccine administration will result in the rejection of the claim for missing diagnostic information.
- Do not use Y871 for routine non-COVID immunizations, as it is specific to the COVID-19 vaccine program and will trigger an audit if used for other vaccines like influenza or Tdap.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Y871 is linked to the service code in your billing software to prevent the claim from being submitted without the required diagnostic indicator.
