Insights on billing, EMRs, and physician time.

In-office procedures follow a consistent pattern in OHIP billing: they combine freely with assessments, carry a tray fee in defined circumstances, and never combine with counselling codes.

Virtual care and after-hours billing follow their own compatibility rules — you can bill A007 by video, but you can't bill A003 virtually at all.

Chronic disease codes are some of the highest-value services in family medicine, and they share one rule that catches physicians off guard: they don't combine with assessment codes.
