Explanation

Updated October 26, 2026

Initial assessment plus cytotoxic medication to end an early pregnancy or missed abortion. No same-day assessment or counselling by the same physician.

What it covers

A920 is the initial service for medical management of early pregnancy: the physician's initial assessment and administration of cytotoxic medication(s) for termination of an early pregnancy or a missed abortion (K4). The cost of the drugs is not included in the fee (K4).

The Schedule's commentary says it must be provided to professional standards, such as those of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (K4). Follow-up visits are billed as A921; ectopic pregnancy is A922 (K4, K5).

Billing rules

  • Consultations, assessments and counselling, and procedures that are generally accepted parts of the service, are not payable to the same physician for the same patient on the same day as A920 (K4).
  • A920 can be given by video or telephone as comprehensive virtual care (Appendix J AJ1). Bill the in-person fee value with K300A for video or K301A for telephone; OHIP pays telephone at 85% (A70).
  • Providing A920 by video or telephone itself counts as an existing patient-physician relationship, so follow-up virtual services in the next 24 months can be billed as comprehensive virtual care (A66-A67).

Often billed with

  • K301A when the service is given by telephone, or K300A by video (A70, AJ1).
