The Ford government has tabled the first piece of legislation as it moves to expand OHIP-covered procedures at privately-owned clinics.that they claim will reduce wait times for surgeries and diagnostic imaging.
According to officials, Tuesday’s legislation would prevent private clinics from forcing patients to pay extra for optional services, including upgraded cataract lenses. It would also prevent the option of paying extra for faster services. The act would also require private clinics to outline how they plan to integrate with the public system and refer patients to public institutions. Private clinics would also be plugged into public wait-time trackers.
As well, it includes measures to allow health workers with credentials from other provinces and territories to work in Ontario.“We support the government’s action to move lower acuity surgeries out of hospitals, which in turn will free up hospital resources to focus on emergency, acute and complex cases, while relieving strain and capacity issues,” said Dr. Rose Zacharias, president.
