- Code
- A3F
- Description
- No fee for this code on service date
Explanation
Updated October 26, 2026
The fee code has no fee on the service date. Check the code is valid for that date and the right one for the service.
What it means
A3F means no fee exists for this service code on the date of service. The code may be recognised, but OHIP has no payable fee for it on that date.
Common causes
- The code had no fee yet, or no longer, on the service date
- The wrong code or suffix for the service
- A wrong service date
How to fix it
- Check the code and its fee in the Schedule of Benefits in effect on the service date.
- Check the service date against the chart.
- Bill the code that has a fee for the service on that date.
- Resubmit the corrected claim. Resubmit within three months of the service date if you can. If that window has passed but the claim was first submitted on time, use the Ministry's stale-dated resubmission process described under VJ7.
Don't resubmit if
- You haven't changed the fee code or the service date.
