OHIP Remittance Advice code J3
Approved for stale dated processing
Ontario Ministry of Health, Remittance Advice Explanatory Codes
Where you’ll see it
On your Remittance Advice. The claim was assessed, and this explanatory code says how it was paid, reduced or refused. The Remittance Advice arrives monthly, in the first week.
A submission or documentation step
Something about how the claim was submitted needs to change: a missing field, a manual-review indicator, supporting documentation, or prior approval. Follow the instruction in the ministry's description, then resubmit.
For a claim already on your Remittance Advice, follow the ministry's instruction in the description. That is either a corrected resubmission or a Remittance Advice Inquiry (RAI), and both are still subject to the three-month limit from the date of service.
Our summary is a guide, not a ruling. The ministry’s wording and the current Schedule of Benefits are what OHIP applies. See OHIP Error Report vs Remittance Advice: reading the codes for how the two reports differ.
