What are the billing rules for J107C?

Technical (H) and professional (P) components are claimed separately: suffix B for H, suffix C for P (G2). The H component is payable only in a hospital or a hospital's approved off-site premises, and not for in-patients or patients admitted within 24 hours for the same condition (G1, GP11). Outside a hospital, only the P component is billable (G2).

Why is J107C rejected?

VHC: OHIP describes this as 'SLI required for technical fee': a technical-component (suffix B) claim needs the service location indicator, and the H fee is only payable in a hospital or approved off-site premises (H1, GP11).
