OHIP explanatory code 41
Fee Schedule Code (FSC) Billed - No Evidence in Supporting Documentation Provided
What 41 means
The Ministry of Health’s official wording for 41 is: “Fee Schedule Code (FSC) Billed - No Evidence in Supporting Documentation Provided.”
This code appears as an explanatory code on your monthly Remittance Advice (RA). It means the claim was adjudicated — paid, reduced, or refused — for the reason below. A claim already on your RA generally shouldn't be blindly resubmitted; follow the suggested action.
How to fix 41
The Ministry found the documentation didn't support the code billed - review the clinical record. If it does support the code, file a Remittance Advice Inquiry and attach the supporting documentation; if not, accept the assessment and bill only what the record supports.
Payment-time codes appear on the monthly Remittance Advice after adjudication. Some are informational, some explain a reduced or refused payment. Where you disagree with the outcome, the usual route is a Remittance Advice Inquiry or written inquiry — not resubmitting the same claim, which can create a duplicate.
