Instead of ripping speed cameras (i.e. safer driving cameras) away from school children, maybe Doug Ford could concentrate on fixing a problem that prevented family doctors from seeing an additional 58,000 patients last year? #OnPoli
Challenges with OHIP billing have become so widespread that the problem has become a top concern for physicians across the province, the OMA says, with delayed payments and rejected or unresolved claims affecting a range of doctors and surgical specialists.

The administrative burden of dealing with OHIP issues is now taking significant time away from direct patient care, the physician advocacy organization says. It estimates that time spent on unresolved billing claims prevented doctors from seeing an additional 58,000 patients in 2024.

This new policy needs to be fixed ASAP. “This interpretation of who is an Ontarian excludes immigrant physicians in Ontario who are permanent residents, or Canadian citizens" #OnHealth #OnPoli
While other provinces have implemented similar residency policies, Atlin said they have taken more inclusive approaches. New Brunswick, for example, has restricted its international medical graduate residency streams to those with a “proven connection” to the province by requiring at least six months of having lived in the province.

“This interpretation of who is an Ontarian excludes immigrant physicians in Ontario who are permanent residents, or Canadian citizens, from a fair chance to compete for the designated IMG residency positions,” she said. “Our health care system loses out on the chance to benefit from their much-needed skills and experience.”
