Y884
Y884 – Y884
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Y884 as the mandatory administrative code to report the completion of a formal 'In-Hospital' or 'Out-of-Hospital' death certificate when no other billable service is provided.
- Apply this code when documenting the pronouncement of death in a facility setting where the physician is not otherwise billing a visit or procedure code for the patient encounter.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Y884 in conjunction with a visit code like A007 or A001 for the same patient on the same day, as the death certificate service is considered inclusive of the assessment.
- Avoid using Y884 for routine death certificate completion if the physician has already billed a comprehensive assessment or hospital visit code for the terminal event.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the date of service matches the date the death certificate was formally signed and completed, regardless of the actual time of death.
