Whether you’re new to practice and just starting to bill, or you’re simply new to Ontario and haven’t billed OHIP before, here’s a quick checklist of key items to get done before starting:
- Get a billing number
In order for you to submit claims for reimbursement from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), you first need to register and receive an OHIP billing number.
- Register for GO Secure and MCEDT
Completing these two steps will create an online account for you that will allow you to submit claims electronically to OHIP for reimbursement.
