Stop the restriction of OHIP covered doctor house calls visits effective 1st Oct


Stop the restriction of OHIP covered doctor house calls visits effective 1st Oct
The Issue
Effective October 1 2019, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan will no longer provide coverage for physician house calls for patients not frail/elderly and or housebound.
This change would make the operational logistics of a house call service extremely difficult resulting in many of the prioritized elderly/homebound patients not being seen. We are significantly worried about the health impact this will have on this already at-risk population.
Please help us voice these concerns to the Ministry as we seek for a proper collaborative transition plan. Please join the following petition below.
