Healthcare Provider Registration OHIP
OHIP billing number applications and healthcare provider registration for physicians, specialists, and allied health professionals. Navigate MOH requirements and maximize billing approval rates.
Physicians, optometrists, dentists, midwives, and specialized clinics in Ontario must register with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to obtain an OHIP billing number and Medical Claims Electronic Data Transfer (MCEDT) account. Delays in physician registration lead to cash-flow interruption and backlogged patient billing.
