Seems pretty well thought out actually. The reasoning makes sense.

If this is what they were doing in the US, I'd be less nervous for them.

Yep. I hope it works. It it cannot work there with 1 million people spread over that much land there is little hope for Ontario (or Alberta).
 
Doesn't include physicians it looks like. While some famil doctors are not getting paid at all since the telephone codes they supposedly added have still not come into existence.

That doesn't make any sense. Just based on the article or do you know for sure?

I feel your pain in regards to billing codes and telemedicine. Even lab work isn’t getting paid if ordered through telemedicine.

I mean it doesn't affect me as much, but it does for a lot of my colleagues. It's ass backwards. These people may not be working in the hospital but they are taking the brunt of the mental health burden patients are going through, take a significant load off the ER and telehealth with telemedicine, and are responsible for keeping patients healthy so that their diabetes is under control, they stop smoking, etc. - all things that make you more susceptible to illness when you get this illness.

Like why does it take 3 months to add 3 billing codes to OHIP? It's maddening.
