OHIP error code V66
Missing admission date - SLI code HIP is included with a diagnostic service billing but an admission date was not included
What V66 means
The Ministry of Health’s official wording for V66 is: “Missing admission date - SLI code HIP is included with a diagnostic service billing but an admission date was not included.”
This code appears on your Claims Error Report (downloaded through MCEDT). It means the claim was rejected at submission and was never adjudicated for payment — fix the issue below and resubmit the claim.
How to fix V66
Add the admission date to the HIP service-location claim and resubmit.
These codes relate to the fee schedule code, diagnosis code, fee amount, or service limits in the Schedule of Benefits. The fix usually starts with re-reading the code's payment rules — effective dates, age/sex limits, maximums, and combinations — for the date of service.
