OHIP meaning in Medical ?

Answer: What is Ontario Health Insurance Plan mean?

The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (French: Assurance-Santé de l'Ontario), commonly known in both official languages by the acronym OHIP (pronounced OH-hip), is the government-run health insurance plan for the Canadian province of Ontario. OHIP is funded by a payroll deduction tax by residents who are gainfully employed, by businesses in the province of Ontario, and by transfer payments from the Government of Canada.

Every Ontario resident with his or her primary and permanent home in Ontario is entitled to access emergency and preventive care under OHIP free of charge. Ontario residents may go to a participating doctor—essentially every doctor practising in the province—any time they wish (subject to the consent of the doctor) and the services are billed through OHIP to the government. OHIP does not generally cover prescription drugs outside of hospitals or dental care. However, the Ontario Drug Benefit program pays for prescription drugs for seniors covered by OHIP and the Trillium Drug Program covers households with high prescription drug costs. As of 1 January 2018, prescription drugs for those under 25 years of age are covered by OHIP through OHIP+.

In 2018, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan announced a new program designed to assist individuals struggling with food addiction. As of 1 April 2019, the Ontario government will no longer offer free prescriptions to children and young adults with private coverage.
