Can I work outside Ontario and continue to see patients on the platform?

The answer is in the Schedule of Benefit from the Ministry of Ontario

Page 193 states:  "Both the patient and physician must be located in Ontario for the services to be insured and payable under OHIP (see section 37.1 of Regulation 552 under the HIA).]"

37.1 (1) A service rendered by a physician in Ontario is an insured service if, at the time the service is rendered,

(a) the physician is a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, or is exempted from the requirement to be a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario under subsections 9 (1) and (3) of the Medicine Act, 1991 by a regulation made under that Act;

(b) both the physician and the insured person are physically located in Ontario; and

(c) the service is referred to in the schedule of benefits and rendered in such circumstances or under such conditions as may be specified in the schedule of benefits. O. Reg. 502/22, s. 3O. Reg. 208/23, s. 4.
