The anaesthesia stipend (OHIP INFOBulletin 260802) is billed with H010A, one claim per physician per service date, under the four-character group number the ministry issued to your hospital’s anaesthesia service. No dummy patient. No diagnosis. No facility. OHIP wants the health number, version code and date of birth blank on this claim, and IntelAGENT sends it exactly that way — so there is no placeholder card to invent, and no workaround to remember. Both screens below simply leave those fields empty. The quantity is the number of eligible hours you worked that day, and the amount comes from Appendix A’s sliding scale rather than a fee per unit. IntelAGENT prices every day as you enter it, so you see what the schedule is worth before any of it is submitted. There are two ways to bill it, and they produce identical claims:

​
Bill one day from New Claim

Open New Claim and add H010A in Billing Codes. The patient panel, diagnosis and facility stay empty — that is correct for this code, and IntelAGENT stops asking for them as soon as H010A is on the claim. Set Units to the hours you worked that day. The claim total updates to the Appendix A amount for that tier, so you can see what the day is worth before you send it.
The New Claim screen with H010A added and the Units dropdown open, listing 1 through 8
The Billing Codes panel showing H010A Anaesthesia Stipend Unit at 8 units and a claim total of $440.00
In Options, set MOH to your stipend group. The MOH field appears here whether or not you normally show it, because H010A cannot be billed without it.
The Options panel with MOH set to EANA, Specialty set to Anaesthesia, and a note explaining that H010A is billed under the four-character stipend group beginning with E
If the group isn’t in the list yet, Add a MOH group adds it without losing the claim you’re writing. Then Submit, exactly as you would any other claim.

​
Bill several days from the stipend sheet

Anaesthesia Stipend in the sidebar is a sheet of dates and hours, and nothing else — because that is all this code needs.
The Anaesthesia Stipend screen: stipend group and specialty at the top, an import panel, then a table of submitted claims above two new rows being entered, with the estimated stipend total at the bottom

​
1. Check the group and specialty

The top row is the setup for everything below it. Pick the stipend group and the specialty you bill under.
The Anaesthesia stipend group dropdown set to EANA with an Add a MOH group link, and the Specialty dropdown set to Anaesthesia
Save as default makes that group the one this sheet opens on next time. It is also added to your MOH groups, so it appears everywhere else you bill.

​
2. Enter the days

Type a date and the hours worked, then Add a day for the next one. Hours take decimals — enter what you actually worked.
Add up the morning and the afternoon before you enter them. H010A pays on the day’s total, so 2.6 + 3.7 is 6.3 hours (tier 6), not 3 + 4 (tier 7). Entering the same date twice is both a duplicate claim and the wrong tier; the sheet offers Combine duplicate dates when it sees one.
The claimed amount for each row updates as you type, and the bar at the bottom totals what you are about to submit.

​
3. Or import a schedule

If your hours already exist in a spreadsheet — a call schedule, a payroll export — drop it on the import panel. IntelAGENT finds the date column and the hours column, adds up multiple entries for the same date, and fills the table for you to review.
The Import a schedule panel with a drop zone reading Drop your hours sheet here, accepting .xlsx, .xls or .csv
Columns it can’t identify are offered as two dropdowns so you can point at them yourself, and Re-read sheet applies your choice.

​
4. Submit

Submit All sends every day on the sheet as its own claim. Days that go through leave the sheet and join the list of claims above it; anything the ministry refuses stays, with the reason on the row.

​
What the sheet checks for you

Show submitted claims — on by default — lists the H010A claims you have already made. A date on the sheet that already carries a claim is flagged, and Submit All skips it, because OHIP takes one stipend claim per service date.
The sheet's table with three submitted claims marked PENDING above a new row for a date already billed, flagged Already billed
The sheet also flags:
  • Weekend — the stipend covers scheduled weekday hours, Mon–Fri 07:00–17:00.
  • Duplicate date — two rows for one day, with a button to combine them.
  • A day over 24 hours — a data-entry slip rather than a day.

​
What you get paid

The amount shown is Appendix A’s sliding scale, read off the day’s rounded hours: Rounding happens once, on the day’s total — 6.3 hours is tier 6.
Each H010A claim is paid $0 on your remittance advice. That is expected: the stipend itself arrives separately on your solo RA. The amounts on this screen are for your own reconciliation, and the ministry decides eligibility when it processes the stipend, so an accepted claim is not a payment decision.

​
Common problems

The reason is printed beside the button — no group selected, a group that doesn’t begin with E, no specialty, duplicate dates, or every date on the sheet already billed.
A stipend group is exactly four characters starting with E, issued to the hospital anaesthesia service. It is not your usual anaesthesia group number, and using an ordinary group here means OHIP will not pay the claim.
H010A may only be billed under Anaesthesia (01) or Family Practice Anesthetist (00). If you hold both, bill it under 01.
Change it before submitting. OHIP warns that billing other services under a stipend group can affect their payment — this is the more expensive mistake of the two, and IntelAGENT blocks it at submission.
