Canadian Experience Highest volume of Canadian patients occurred about 6 years ago when a chemotherapy drug was unavailable in Canada – OHIP paid to have Canadians treated in our Cancer Center – OHIP would contact our Cancer Center and request a quote for the type of care needed. Once approved, they paid for the patient’s care For other services, patient works with OHIP to try to get services covered
