OHIP explanatory code L2

What L2 means

The Ministry of Health’s official wording for L2 is: “Not allowed to medical Laboratory Director.”

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 L2

This explains a payment adjustment. If you believe the claim was billed correctly, file a Remittance Advice Inquiry within the deadline; otherwise no resubmission is needed.

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.
