Patient Appointments

Here are some tips to keep in mind when making an appointment with your health care provider.

1. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care requires that you bring a valid health card to each office visit. Your OHIP Card is checked by the reception staff upon your arrival. This allows the staff to ensure you have valid health coverage and that your contact information remains up-to-date.

2. Advise the reception staff of any changes to your contact information including;

  • Name change
  • Address change
  • Phone number change or additions (eg. Cell phone number, work number,etc.)
  • Re-Issued health card (eg. New version code, new expiry date, etc.)

3. Check the expiry date on your card and arrange for a new one before it expires.

4. You must notify the OHIP office if your card is lost, stolen, if you have changed your address or if your card has expired.
