In others, patients were reportedly told they would have to wait longer for services covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).<\/p>\n<p>The costs, according to the coalition, were anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $8,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Canada Health Act was meant to protect patients from exactly these types of fees and this kind of snake oil salesman,\u201d Mehra said. \u201cIt should not be like going to a car mechanic when you go into your doctor&#8217;s office, where you&#8217;re told that there are a range of things that you need and the patient has no idea how to measure the veracity of these claims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill 60\u2014also known as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ola.org\/en\/legislative-business\/bills\/parliament-43\/session-1\/bill-60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Y<\/span><em><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">our Health Act<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u2014allows both for-profit and not-for-profit clinics to apply for a license in order to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ttps\/\/toronto.ctvnews.ca\/ontario-tables-health-care-bill-to-expand-role-of-private-clinics-1.6282893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">perform certain surgeries under OHIP<\/span><\/a>, including cataract surgeries, MRI and CT scans, minimally invasive gynecological surgeries and, eventually, knee and hip replacements.<\/p>\n<p>These new community surgical and diagnostic centres will need to prove in their application they have consulted with other health partners and will be integrated into the current health system. \u201cExpert organizations\u201d will work with Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health to ensure quality and safety standards are met, the government said. This includes inspections of clinics and a complaint system that will allow patients to report if they were overcharged or not provided the correct care.<\/p>\n<p>The Ontario government has made it clear that patients will not have to pay out of pocket for these services and that clinics cannot accept payments to jump the queue.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation doesn\u2019t, however, prevent upselling.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have said a clinic will need to provide information about uninsured services, including the costs, up front. \u201cPrescribed documents\u201d, which will likely include service fees, will be posted on the clinic\u2019s website, the government added.<\/p>\n<p>In response to a question in the legislature Monday, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health Robin Martin suggested the Your Health Act is \u201cremedying a problem that has existed in public hospitals as well as clinics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are expanding oversight by bringing in this new legislation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntegrated health centres will now have to post any uninsured charges both online or in-person and every community surgical and diagnostic centre must have a process for receiving and responding to patient complaints&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However Mehra said she doesn\u2019t believe the oversight measures will be enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we&#8217;re saying is that privatizing the surgeries and diagnostics is a bad idea period,\u201d she said, adding that private clinics should have the option to either only provide OHIP services or provide private care.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra argues that if clinics don\u2019t mix between privately offered services and OHIP services, those receiving publicly-funded procedures shouldn\u2019t be subject to extra charges or manipulated to purchase \u201cmedically unnecessary stuff attached to the surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrivatization has ballooned under the Ford government and this is the last stage in an ongoing move to privatize piece-by-piece-by-piece our public health system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way to stop this is not to bring in more, it&#8217;s to use the existing capacity we have everywhere across the province in our public hospitals in order to clear surgical backlogs and improve access.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ford has maintained that Ontarians will be able to pay for these services through OHIP and not their credit card, a statement he reiterated Monday when asked about privatization concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to start thinking outside the box we have to start thinking differently and make bold decisions,\u201d he told reporters alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/toronto.ctvnews.ca\/astrazeneca-to-expand-research-facility-in-mississauga-create-500-new-jobs-1.6290506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">at an announcement in Mississauga<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will always make sure the safety comes first\u2026.make sure there\u2019s no different regulations and expedite the process.
