New Fee Codes Will Help Limit the Spread of COVID-19 in Ontario While Maintaining Patient Access to High Quality, Cardiologist-Led Care

The Minister of Health has made an Order under the authority of subsection 45(2.1) of the Health Insurance Act to temporarily list as insured services the provision of assessments of or counselling to insured persons by telephone or video, or advice and information to patient representatives by telephone or video, as well as a temporary sessional fee code.  These codes come into effect March 14, 2020.  For more information, see OHIP INFOBulletin #4745 here: OHIP INFOBulletin #4745.
