How do I bill patients from other provinces?
Claims from all provinces, excluding Quebec, are processed by OHIP under claim type RMB (Reciprocal Medical Billing).
When HYPEMedical recognizes a health number as belonging to another province, the system will automatically assign both the province and the RMB claim type.
