HCAI Full Rollout 2010
Full Rollout will proceed according to an enrolment schedule (HCAI Full Rollout Schedule) that will be published in early March 2010. This list will identify health care facilities based on their volume of HCAI transactions prior to suspension of HCAI in March 2008. The schedule will name the health care facility and address, using the name under which it was previously registered with HCAI, and each business will be assigned an effective date. Your effective date is the date that you will begin using HCAI for the submission of certain Ontario Claim Forms (OCFs 18, 22, 23 and 21) to Ontario automobile insurers.
Prior to a facility’s effective date, OCF form submission should continue to follow the current process of submission directly to insurers. On or after a facility’s effective date, facilities that choose not to enrol with HCAI cannot submit OCF forms to insurers. Alternatively they will need to submit OCFs 18, 22, 23 and 21 to their patients, who will submit them to insurers (as per SABS S.68 (3.2).
Health care facilities will be notified well in advance of their assigned effective date. To learn more about the HCAI Full Rollout Schedule, click here.
