How to fix TM8
This service isn't eligible for Store-and-Forward telemedicine - use the correct telemedicine code/modality, then resubmit.
Program-specific codes come from claims routed through special programs — Reciprocal Medical Billing for out-of-province patients, WSIB, telemedicine/virtual care, and Integrated Community Health Services Centres. The fix depends on that program's own submission rules.
