OHIP UNINSURED LAB. TESTS -. MONEY MAKES FOR MODERN MEDICINE.

OHIP policy based on NEVER DEFINED in 44 years "MEDICAL NECESSITY". MEDICAL NECESSITY based on GUIDELINES COMMITTEES which means that here may be a 10 - 15 year delay before OHIP pays for a new test During this delay a Private patient can either pay for the test or have it done in USA (e.g. MAYO LABS vs FEDEX/UPS etc). Interesting that Canuck Federal employees are angry that they will have to pay 50% of Supplementary Medical insurance instead of only 25%.In Ontario the CPSO can attack a Doc for even INFORMING a patient about a non-OHIP paid test. Safest legally and medically to practice with patients who are financially secure.
