Ontario cancels out-of-country OHIP coverage after 6 day consultation May 1, 2019,
Ontario is pushing ahead with a plan to eliminate basic out-of-country travel insurance, saying the program is very costly and does not provide value to taxpayers.
The insurance currently covers out-of-country inpatient services to a maximum of $400 per day for a higher level of care, and up to $50 per day for emergency outpatient services and doctor services.
Health Minister Christine Elliot announced the decision to scrap the program on Wednesday, following a six-day public consultation.
