OAC Provides Fall 2020 Budget Advice to Ontario Minister of Finance

OAC Provides Fall 2020 Budget Advice to Ontario Minister of Finance

October 16, 2020

In a written submission to the Ontario Minister of Finance, the Ontario Association of Cardiologists (OAC) today called on the Ontario government to protect the health and well-being of cardiac patients and all Ontarians in the upcoming Fall 2020 Budget by:

  1. Maintaining OHIP virtual care fee codes indefinitely.
  2. Converting the COVID-19 Advance Payment Program to a Grant or Extending the Program’s Payment Recovery Period to March 2023.
  3. Providing funding for the purchase and use of rapid point of care COVID testing in community cardiology offices and clinics.
  4. Investing in community-based congestive heart failure patient care.
