Cardiology consults in Ontario often use C882 (specialist consultation) or assessment codes depending on referral status and setting. Inpatient work may attract after-hours premiums when documentation supports the time and acuity. Echo and stress-test claims must be sequenced so the index visit is not bundled incorrectly. Version codes matter when the same cardiologist bills a hospital anchor and a community office in the same claim cycle.

How cardiology is practised in Brampton
Most Ontario cardiologists bill across a hospital anchor and one or more community sites. Consult chains from ED or internal medicine referrals are common. The revenue risk is inconsistent setting and premium capture across sites in the same month, not a single missed code.
