The need to obtain a bed in hospital is a matter of urgency to a seriously
i11 person. It is vital, therefore, thatevery hospital bed in Ontario be used
only when -it is essential ri the treatment of a patient. Proper use of hospital
beds is a matte- of concern to every resident of the province.
To help make more hospital beds available`...
the Commission now will provide Ontario Hospital Insurance benefits
to an insured personwho receives hospital care, as an out-patient, for
which he or she, otherwise, would rehire admission as an in-patient to
stay in hospital overnight. Q .
w—
These benefits will be provided ' only if the hospital has the required
facilities and .f_tcr_these facilities h. tharized. tor—suck-out--;
patient use by the local hospital board on the advice of itsmedical staff.
• Benefits will cover only the. hospital charges for
' • ` medical and surgical treatment procedures which,
otherwise, would,require the patient to be admitted
to°hospital. Examples of these procedures are cer--
• - rain ' minor operations, electro -shock treatments,
blood transfusions, 'etc.
• It is up to the patient's doctor to decide whether
the treatment will be given on an in-patient or out-
patient basis.
• Visits' to established regular clinics in hospital out-
patient departments are NOT covered.
,Extension of EMERGENCY Out -Patient Benefits
Effective March 1,1962, when an insured person bas received emergency, hospital treatment for fracture within.
24 hours of an accident, Ontario Hospital- Insurance also will cover subsequent out-patient services for check
X-xays and the change or removal. o%cast, until -treatment of the fracture is completed.
Hospital treatment for emergency conditions other than fractures will NOT
be covered beyond the firsts visit to hospital within 24 hours of an accident.
