OHIP Opting Out OF More Medical Coverage

-

It has been said by ministry staff that if a procedure is deemed medically necessary it will continue to be covered by OHIP.

We are hopeful that this might perhaps also lead to some additions to OHIP, as there are other medical procedures and services currently not covered by the program that are in some cases medically necessary.

For example, eye exams for persons aged 20-64 who do not have medical conditions requiring regular eye examinations are not currently covered by OHIP. Eye exams can and are used as a diagnostic tool for patients with an undefined medical condition and should be covered. Alternative health remedies are also often recommended by doctors when western medicine is failing a patient, however, acupuncture, chiropractic services and neuropathic remedies are not covered even though they are in some cases medically necessary.

Our only hope once it is revealed what health services have been cut and perhaps added to OHIP is that the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has thoroughly examined what constitutes a “medically necessary” service.

  If you want to get the old view back, here's what to do: 1. Head to Gmail's settings and go to the Inbox tab. 2. Next to "Inbox type," open the drop down and select any option besides "Default." 3. Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
