Local #doctor lauded as pandemic hero now on OHIP’s hook for $600,000, ‘crickets’ from #Ford government. A story on the #Canadian #Healthcare Network (CHN)/ Medical Post website. This is the first section. Full story available with free accounts for #doctors in #Canada
Not only is OHIP demanding a local doctor pay back what she was reimbursed for running numerous vaccination clinics at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the provincial government seems to have known about it for months yet has done nothing to right the apparent wrong.When #COVID vaccinations were developed in early 2021, General Rick Hillier was appointed to lead the province’s vaccination task force and sounded a “call to arms” to fight the virus.
Premier Doug Ford himself saluted Hillier, saying the task force, known as Operation Remote Immunity, “was launched to protect the most vulnerable populations in the province.” Ford lauded Hillier as a “master tactician” who was critical in getting the infrastructure in place to ensure the success of #Ontario’s vaccination program and “developing our #vaccine distribution plan” with “mass #vaccination sites, mobile and hospital clinics.”
Meanwhile, in Kingston, one of the people with boots on the ground in Hillier’s operation, Dr. Elaine Ma, was instrumental in helping to launch the largest vaccination roll-out in many generations, organizing multiple drive-through mass vaccination clinics. Like Hillier, she was hailed for her heroic efforts and received the Ontario College of Family Physicians Award of Excellence for 2021.
In the eyes of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (#OHIP), however, that apparently means little. OHIP now seems to be punishing Ma for the same actions she was lauded for at the height of the vaccine rollout.
When Kingstonist reached out to Ma to discuss her medical clinic’s cancellation of a planned drive-through vaccination clinic this month, Ma revealed that she was now facing an OHIP Health Services Appeal and Review Board (HSARB), and the provincial-run insurance plan was asking her to pay back $600,000 for the clinics she ran at the height of the pandemic....

@gemelliz @the5thColumnist Yes, much the same in #Ottawa it seems. The clinic we were at is a general vaccination clinic, for "residents who face barriers to access on a drop-in basis". They offer #COVID19 and #flu vaccinations but as we're long time residents with an #ohip card and family doctor, we're low priority. @fordnation clearly believes #CovidIsOver so he can go back to pandering to his auto- and beer-loving base.
Off to the pharmacy for our booster, I guess.

@the5thColumnist Part of the issue was that priority was given to those needing childhood routine vaccinations, or those with no #OHIP card. Also, apparently, the nurses (there were two) needed to take a detailed history from some of their patients if they hadn't been seen before.

The #Ontario #Healthcare system is so broken. 🤬
Our doctor told us that since one of our kids has been in that practice, the income from that account has been $350. No problem ...
Under the same account, #OHIP has charged back SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS because of medical services rendered at our kid's post secondary school healthcare clinic.
They're making the doctors fund the healthcare system!?

@gemelliz I wonder if she's still billing #OHIP for patient visits - I suspect she is. That's a hole in the #CanadaHealthAct that needs to be closed. #onpoli #cdnpoli https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/feds-warn-alberta-clinic-will-violate-medicare-by-charging-for-faster-doctor-access-1.6493746

While I love #Ontario's healthcare system & have been well cared for through a chronic illness & 3 cesarean births with very little out of pocket... it sure can be infantilizing sometimes. Prescription drugs are rightfully given in limited amounts, but refills are gated behind forcing you to go back to your specialist.
Even this anti-inflammatory I've taken for over a decade (I have #Crohns Disease) is being kept from me. Gee thanks for the 4 day supply. 😡
