A001A: Minor Assessment

Family practice minor assessment: a brief history and exam of the affected part, or brief advice or information about a health issue.

In the patient's home, travel to and from the home is part of A001, and the Table VI home special visit premiums are not payable with it (A4).
A008 mini assessment is only payable when the WSIB part of the same visit was billed as A001 and an unrelated non-WSIB problem was also assessed (A4).
Detention (K001) can only start after 30 minutes of a minor assessment (GP30).
Can be billed by video or telephone as comprehensive virtual care when an existing patient-physician relationship exists, with K300A or K301A (A70, AJ1).
On the day of a Z-code procedure, if the same physician did the major pre-operative visit in the previous 12 months, a minor assessment is the only assessment a family physician can bill before the procedure (SP4).

AT3: Billed by video or phone (K300A/K301A), but OHIP found no existing relationship: no in-person service in 24 months and no enrolment to you or your group (A66). Otherwise bill A101/A102.
EH2: The health card version code doesn't match the Ministry's record. Get the current version code and resubmit.
VH8: The date of birth doesn't match OHIP's record for the health number. Correct it and resubmit.
EQE: The physician wasn't registered in the group on the claim on the service date. A registration issue, not a coding one.
VJ7: OHIP received the claim more than three months after the service date (GP9). If it was first sent on time, use the stale-dated process.
