Y887 – Y887
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Y887 as a mandatory administrative placeholder code when submitting claims for specific specialized programs or pilot projects that require tracking but do not have a direct fee-for-service payment attached.
- Apply this code when linking a service to a specific ministry-approved shadow billing requirement where the primary service code is not sufficient to trigger the necessary reporting data.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Y887 as a standalone service without an accompanying valid service code will result in a rejection, as it is a tracking code rather than a payable procedure.
- Mistaking Y887 for a payable consultation or assessment code; it carries a zero-dollar value and cannot be used to generate revenue.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Y887 is appended to the primary service code in the same claim submission to ensure the ministry correctly associates the activity with your specific program participation.
