Explanation
Updated October 26, 2026
OHIP paid this long-term care admission assessment as a Type 2 admission assessment, because you saw the patient before admission.
What it means
Code C6 means a long-term care admission assessment was paid at the Type 2 fee.
A Type 1 admission assessment is a general assessment on admission. If the physician gave a consultation, general assessment or general re-assessment before the admission, the payment is adjusted to a lesser fee. A Type 2 admission assessment is the admitting physician's first visit after admission when they had already given one of those services before admission (GP49).
Common causes
- You gave a consultation, general assessment or general re-assessment before the admission
How to fix it
- Check whether you billed a consultation, general assessment or general re-assessment for this patient before admission.
- If you didn't, send a Remittance Advice Inquiry (RAI) through eSubmit, or on form 0918-84, within 7 months of the RA date, with supporting details such as your chart notes.
- If you did, the Type 2 payment is correct.
Don't resubmit if
- You saw the patient for one of those services before admission.
