Ontario to police doctors billing under health plan
Ontario Health Minister Bert Lawrence announced drafted legislation to audit doctors billing the Ontario Health Services Insurance Plan. The measure, to be introduced next week, would empower audits and possible criminal or financial penalties for irregular or fraudulent billing, with the College of Physicians and Surgeons to gain parallel disciplinary powers later. Aimed at a small minority, the plan relies on professional scrutiny, with government investigation teams to assist.
