Chiropractic Services Removed Under Ontario Payment System

Chiropractic services, physiotherapy and optometry exams will no longer be paid for under Ontario's provincial health-care plan.  In a stunning event to chiropractors and the people we serve, chiropractic care has been removed from payment in Ontario.  According to news in many publications massive cuts in services were made to the health system in Ontario.

Ontario Finance Minister Greg Sorbara told a press conference, "No one in government celebrates the delisting or the withdrawal of any public services. These are the most difficult choices we make.  Look, we are not punishing anyone. These are less critical services in our view."

Dr. Dean Wright, president of the Ontario Chiropractic Association responded, "This is an incredibly short-sighted budget, it's going to be devastating for over 1.2 million Ontarians who seek chiropractic care to help them live their lives."   Dr Wright continued, "By removing the OHIP coverage they create another barrier to access to care."

Why I Recommend Now You Know; by Dr. Jim Gregg

Dear Bob,

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the work you and B.J. do. I originally had a website that I though was pretty good. I never received any e-mails from people who visited the site and I never heard any comments from patients and staff. Since you designed my new site and began hosting it the comments and e-mails I receive are great.  I especially like the new patients being able to download my introduction form, fill it out and bring it with them when they come. It saves allot of time. The comments about the e-newletter are also great.

Thanks for all you both do
Jim Gregg, D.C. FICA
