The Ontario Health Insurance Program is responsible for key elements of Ontario's health care system: client eligibility and health card policies, physicians' payments, other practitioners' payments, out of province/out of country services, independent health facilities, midwifery services, colorectal cancer screening, drugs, community laboratories, assistive devices, payment integrity, and protection from health-related fraudulent activity.
Ontario health services are available from health professionals in various settings from family doctors' offices to hospitals to Telehealth Ontario and Telephone Health Advisory Service (THAS) where triage advice and health information is provided by a registered nurse. Government-funded services are available to Ontarians who have registered, and who are eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. The Underserviced Area Program and the Northern Health Travel Grant Program offer a number of integrated supports that provide rural and northern communities with access to needed health care services. The focus for Disease Prevention is on improving health and health care for Ontarians living with diabetes and for those at a high risk for developing diabetes.
