Immediate phone report of a specified reportable disease (e.g. measles, meningococcal disease) to the Medical Officer of Health.
What it covers
K034 is immediately giving all available information to a Medical Officer of Health by telephone, as the Health Protection and Promotion Act requires, for one of the specified reportable diseases. It includes any later information about that report within 12 months (A60).
The specified diseases include anthrax, botulism, cholera, novel coronavirus (including SARS and MERS), diphtheria, food poisoning, hepatitis A, measles, acute bacterial meningitis, invasive meningococcal disease, rabies, rubella, invasive group A strep, typhoid fever, West Nile virus illness and others listed on A60.
Billing rules
- Maximum 1 per physician, per patient, per specified disease, per 12 months (A60).
- You must make the phone report personally (A60).
- Only for the diseases on the A60 list (A60).
- The chart must show that the required information was given immediately by phone to the MOH; a report to the MOH's delegate counts (A60).
