While the original plan was to eliminate all of the red-and-white cards within three years, governments have been gradually phasing them out ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"28\">Whether they\u2019re the owner of a fabled red-and-white card, or just a regular card that is due to expire soon, there are steps Ontarians can take to avoid gaps in their health care when cards expire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"29\">For starters, everyone in Ontario who is eligible to receive OHIP should make sure Service Ontario has a permanent address on file in order to receive renewal notices and other important mail from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; color: #26282a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\" data-reactid=\"30\">\u201cIt is the obligation of patients to keep an updated address with the ministry of health and long term care for their OHIP,\u201d said <strong>Natalie Mehra<\/strong>, executive director of the<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Ontario Health Coalition<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u201cOtherwise they can\u2019t communicate with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"31\">People who don\u2019t receive renewal notices from the ministry run the risk of having a card expire without realizing it. Some Ontarians, like seniors over the age of 80, can submit their card renewal paperwork via post, so having an address on record with Service Ontario is vitally important.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; color: #26282a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" data-reactid=\"34\">People under the age of 80 with proof of ID and residency can renew or replace a health card in person at a Service Ontario centre or, in many cases, renew a card online. It\u2019s always best to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/health-care-ontario\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">look online<\/span><\/a>\u00a0though and know ahead of time which documents are needed to renew or update a card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"35\">Failing to renew or update an expired card could lead to frustrating, stressful and expensive outcomes. In Ontario, under provincial law and the Canada Health Act, medically necessary hospital and physician care are covered under the public health system and are provided without user fees to anyone with a valid OHIP card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"36\">However, physicians are not required to provide medical services without payment to people without valid OHIP cards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"37\">\u201cPeople will have a rude awakening when they go to a walk in clinic and their card\u2019s expired,\u201d Mehra said. \u201cAnd they\u2019re told they have to pay, or they can\u2019t get the service until after they\u2019ve updated their card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"38\">How to serve a patient without a valid health card is up to each health care provider\u2019s discretion. One doctor might choose to treat a regular patient with an expired card free of charge, give the patient a chance to replace the card and then bill OHIP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"39\">Another doctor might charge a patient without a valid card a deposit fee, and then bill OHIP and refund the deposit after the patient has replaced the card. But not everyone is so lucky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"40\">\u201cSome doctors and some hospitals will refuse you if your card is expired,\u201d Mehra said. \u201cSo it is important to keep an up-to-date card. That is your obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"41\">Someone experiencing a major medical emergency \u2014 like a heart attack, stroke or life-threatening injury \u2014 isn\u2019t likely to be denied life-saving intervention. But even those patients could find themselves trying to renew an OHIP card from a hospital bed while in recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"42\">And ultimately, a hospital or medical centre can still choose to bill a patient at a later date for services rendered if that patient takes too long to get a valid health card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"43\">\u201cSo it really does make sense for people to go update their address,\u201d Mehra said. \u201cAnd just get their new card at Service Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"43\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ca.news.yahoo.com\/what-you-should-know-if-your-health-card-is-expiring-213605607.html\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Click Here for full article<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(May 9, 2019) By: Megan DeLaire, Yahoo Canada News Diagrams of different styles of red-and-white Ontario Health Cards taken from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care website.
