OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan)

Physician's fees as well as laboratory work, x-rays, and most referrals are paid by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.

You should be aware that:

• You must present a valid health card at each visit
• Every person has their own Health Card number. Your number is not the same as other members of your family.
• When making an application, you must have proof of Canadian Citizenship, either a Birth Certificate or Baptismal Certificate. A Driver's License is not sufficient identification for the OHIP Office.
• If you are not an Ontario resident, you may have coverage through your own Provincial Medical insurance. Not all provinces have the same health benefits. Please read your policy carefully with regard to Out-Of-Province benefits.
• International students are not covered by OHIP. They are advised to seek private insurance.
