Decision upholds a lower court’s ruling ordering the full disclosure of records relating to the names and specializations of doctors who previously charged the most to the province’s health system
The Ontario doctors who previously charged the most to the province’s health system may soon have their names released to the public, a Supreme Court decision suggested Thursday.
The Ministry of Health made only a partial disclosure and did not include the names or some specializations of the doctors in question. The doctors groups then took their fight to court, where subsequent decisions were handed down in Boyle’s favour. The most recent of those came last August when the Court of Appeal – Ontario’s top court – dismissed the challenge from the doctors.
A spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of health declined to offer specific comment on the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Court of Appeal’s ruling, but said the issue of billing disclosure is on its radar.“The ministry is working with the Ontario Medical Association to look at how physician billings might be disclosed in the future, but those are very early discussions,” said a statement from the ministry.
