Are private virtual ADHD clinics covered by OHIP in Ontario?

Private virtual ADHD clinics that charge you a fee are not covered by OHIP in Ontario just because the appointment is online. OHIP can cover medically necessary virtual visits delivered by video or telephone when an OHIP-billing physician provides insured care, and medically necessary nurse practitioner visits in publicly funded settings typically do not charge the patient. A cash-pay virtual ADHD company, a psychologist-only video assessment, or a clinic that opts out of public billing is a private service. Virtual care does not change who is insured. Ontario’s public plan is provincial; another province’s telehealth rules will not apply to your OHIP card. Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.
