Ontario Health Insurance Plan Fraud Lawyers Based in Toronto, Servicing Clients Across Ontario.
If you have been notified that you are under investigation for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (“OHIP”) fraud, you should contact a lawyer immediately. It is imperative that you are aware of your rights, obligations and risks, as you will be asked to provide sensitive and personal information to the government.
OHIP is governed by the Health Insurance Act. Under that Act, you must uphold all eligibility criteria in order to continue accessing government funded healthcare in Ontario.
If you are being investigated, you must prove that you meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Health Insurance Act. This criteria includes:
- Being a Canadian citizen or have an immigration status;
- Ontario is your primary place of residence; and
- You must be physically present in Ontario for a minimum amount of time
Most people are unaware that if they don’t meet the eligibility criteria, they must stop using their health card and notify Service Ontario. The failure to do so may result in your file to be referred to police for investigation.
