Will I get burned for using my Ontario health card in 2012 and renewing it in 2014 when I didn't meet the permanent Ontario residency rule for OHIP coverage? I was back and fourth between Spain and Canada but definitely spent most of my time living in Spain. I want to finally cancel the card so it doesn't haunt me in the future. I contacted ServiceOntario and this was their response.
You would need to use the correct date when you left Ontario in order to cancel your card, anything else would be fraudulent. It is certainly unfortunate that you used your health card six years after you departed Ontario and that it was accepted by your physician’s office. The card was validated at that time so I doubt you would be billed back for the visit after so much time has passed.
Any thoughts?
