Post-payment review process
Learn what to expect if claims are reviewed and understand the general factors the ministry considers in the post-payment review process
The Plan to Build Ontario Together Act included amendments to the Health Insurance Act to make OHIP more accountable, which included the introduction of a new physician payment review process in Ontario that is intended to be fair, impartial, accountable and transparent.
After the initial tabling of the bill, the OMA expressed serious concerns with many proposed provisions in Schedule 15, and the Minister of Health pledged to work with the OMA to find a fair and equitable solution.
The OMA and Ministry of Health entered into discussions and subsequently agreed to a series of amendments to Schedule 15 that removed many of the provisions that were most problematic for physicians, clarified the government’s intention and revised the audit process to ensure that it contains necessary procedural safeguards, while maintaining the overall objective of accountability and transparency, with a focus on education. In December 2019, the government introduced amendments to Schedule 15 of the bill, which subsequently passed.
