Request OHIP prior approval for out-of-country care — fill the patient fields fast

Some out-of-country medical services need OHIP's written prior approval before you go — and the request repeats your patient details on top of your doctor's clinical section. This guide is an example of letting hivi fill the patient fields.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: OHIP coverage while outside Canada — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Request for Prior Approval for Full Payment of Insured Out-of-Country Services — on00314

What this form is about

The request asks OHIP to approve full payment for insured services outside Canada before you receive them, based on your Ontario doctor's recommendation.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, Ontario health number, and contact details.
• Your Ontario physician to complete the clinical section.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca — approval must be in writing before you receive the services.
