for doctors to provide care to those without provincial health insurance, including those without coverage under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan .In a memo sent to Ontario hospitals and health providers, and provided to CTV News Toronto, the government said this funding would no longer be available as of March 31.
“As they did pre-pandemic, uninsured persons will continue to have access to some publicly funded health care services including primary care at one of Ontario’s 75 Community Health Centres, midwifery care, public health, and emergency care. Regardless of an individual’s health card status, Ontario’s public hospitals cannot refuse to provide services to a patient who is faced with a life-threatening medical emergency.
