Are you still using a dial-up modem to submit OHIP claims for your services? If yes, you need to act now and take the needed steps to switch to new web-based Medical Claims Electronic Data Transfer service or MCEDT. By the end of December 2014 the old Legacy Modem EDT service will give its place to MCEDT. If you miss the deadline you may be faced with potential problems in receiving your payments from OHIP.
What you need to do
Register for MSEDT. Registration is easy and it can be done online. Just follow the steps outlined in the MC EDT Registration and Enrolment Procedure Summary.
Contact your EMR provider for possible needed software updates.
