This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Ontario Association of Optometrists is encouraging its 1,800 members to refer patients to hospitals and emergency rooms as part of a job action meant to address its claims of decades of underfunding.
The Ontario Ministry of Health did not confirm the claims of underfunding by the OAO. It said in a statement that payments for Ontario Health Insurance Plan-insured services “have risen because of an increase in utilization,” and that the government expected optometrists “to continue to deliver the quality care that patients expect and deserve, as they always have.”
According to Dr. Salaba, the fees OAO members receive from the province to pay for services covered by OHIP cover about 50 per cent of the real cost of those services. Under OHIP, patients under 20 and above 65 are covered for eye care services, as are patients with medically necessary appointments for certain types of conditions. These types of appointments make up roughly 70 per cent of an optometrist’s patients.
The Alberta government is trying to do the same. Perhaps a physiology lesson is needed: Most are gifted with 2 eyes. Unlike teeth, they are irreplaceable, are needed for just about everything other than sleep, & 80% responsible for how we learn. But, let’s not care for them?
Do you idiots at the Globe and Mail even know what the images you use are? Great Glasses,defunct, was an illegally operating store. Not opticians, certainly not optometrists. Makes me think you have no idea what you are doing. Smarten up
Wow, fee's haven't changed since the 80s. I think y'all have a very valid complaint
When I was 11 years old, I remember getting ready for school and hearing announced on the radio that optometry will no longer be covered by OHIP. I brushed it off, even though half my family needs to see. I wish I could have done something. I wish that ANYONE did something.
That’s it, hit the government when there down
