Q200A: Per Patient Rostering

No-fee rostering code that tells OHIP a patient has enrolled with the physician. The service date is the date on the signed enrolment form.

Billing rules

  • Submit Q200A when a patient enrols with the physician (OMA Q-codes guide p.9).
  • The service date must be the date on the Patient Enrolment and Consent to Release Personal Health Information (E/C) form (OMA Q-codes guide p.10).
  • Since February 1, 2013, the E/C form is kept in the office for your records, not sent to the Ministry (OMA Q-codes guide p.10).
  • Bill it at zero (AQ3; OMA Q-codes guide p.9).
  • Long-term care patients are rostered with Q202A instead, in FHN and FHO (OMA Q-codes guide p.10).

Common rejections

  • EP1: OHIP didn't accept the enrolment transaction; in APEX's claims data the usual cause is a Q200A sent under the solo billing number (group 0000) instead of the enrolment group's number.
  • VJ7: The service date must be the E/C form date, so a Q200A sent more than three months after the form was signed is stale-dated.
  • EH2: The health card version code on the claim doesn't match OHIP's record for the patient; get the current version code and resubmit.
  • EQF: The physician is linked to the group on the claim, but the membership wasn't active on the E/C form date.
  • EQD: The group number on the claim wasn't active with the Ministry on the service date.
