The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, May 7,1994 23 New Photo Health Card for Ontario Ontario Health Minister Ruth Grier Grier on Tuesday, May 3rd, announced a new photo Health Card for Ontario. "We have built a first-rate health care system here in Ontario, and we have to look after it," said Mrs. Grier. "It's time to get tough on fraud." "The new photo Health Card is the key to an entire system of security security and control," she said. "Any amount of fraud is unacceptable." The new card will feature a digitalized digitalized photograph and signature and a holographic overlay to deter tampering tampering and counterfeiting. Birth date, sex, name, address and expiry date will be printed on the card, which will have to be renewed every five years. Speaking at Queen's Park, Mrs. Grier said the care is the most visible of a series of initiatives to combat medicare fraud. She also announced that eight new investigators are being hired to deal with fraud. Seven cases are now before the courts and 177 cases under investigation. Tighter rules for registration will accompany introduction of the new card. Everyone applying for a new Health Card will have to provide original documents to prove he or she is an Ontario resident, eligible for OHIP coverage. Doctors' offices and hospitals will check the validity of cards with "swipe" readers or touch-tone key pads similar to those stores use to check credit cards. The ministry is dealing with provider provider fraud by examining inappropriate inappropriate billings by doctors, and prosecuting prosecuting where necessary. Based on expert advice, the photo card and additional security measures will prevent $65 million in fraud and misuse annually. The cost of the new cards and the registration process will be about $30 million a year for three years. After that, with a five-year renewal cycle, the cost will be about $19 million a year. Mrs. Grier said that her ministry's anti-fraud measures show the government government takes its responsibilities seriously, seriously, "The new photo Health Card is a wise investment to protect our $ 17- billion health care system," she said. The Ministry of Health is pleased to announce that the registration process process will be delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, through 380 offices throughout the province. re- Ontarians can help the registration process by making sure they give OHIP any changé of address. address.
