Default OOC surprise bills??

Hi all,

New to this board but I am from Kitchener, ON Canada and having surgery in buffalo, NY. Has anyone who had OOC surgury gotten any bills or is it ALL covered by OHIP.

Thanks Corinne!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Thanks for the welcome!!

OOC stands for Out OF Country. Since I am from Canada and the wait is really long I opted to go the States for Surgury. OHIP stands for Ontario Health Insurance PLan. Its something we get in Canada.

So if there is anyone from Canada on here I would like to know if you did get a bill even though OHIP is covering your surgery.

thanks Corinne
