An Ontario hospital is investigating why a patient was asked to pay $120 for a medical test covered by OHIP.
“It is against the law toIn response, the University Health Network, which oversees Toronto General Hospital, told CTV News Toronto it is “currently investigating” the situation.There have been no changes to coverage for vHIT under OHIP. vHIT, including required equipment, staff and supplies is an insured service when medically necessary or rendered by an audiologist on staff.“I’m not medically cleared to go back to work. I’ve been living off my savings and that is dire,” Maroon said.
The medical tests under question are required to diagnose a condition that has resulted in Maroon being placed in a medically induced state twice after her body felt like it was in a parachute constantly spinning faster than a rollercoaster, she said. The test, she said, is medically necessary.As a single mother of two children who also takes care of her aging parents, Maroon said she’ll have no choice but to pay for the test, and even dip into her retirement savings, if it comes down to that.
“If you can’t afford it, then you don't get tested and you either live with being sick or you die poor. Those are the options that I’m left with,” she said.
