Solutions should allow clinicians to send and receive patient agreements and other educational materials relating to virtual services.

Solutions should not automatically trigger claims submission for all completed virtual visits.

Solutions can assist clinicians to identify virtual visits that are eligible for claims (e.g., offering a “billable” vs “nonbillable” flag).

Automated OHIP verification can assist clinicians from a claims and medico-legal perspective. It can also make patient registration processes more efficient.

Solutions should verify that the 10-digit OHIP number format is valid.

Solutions can also:

• Verify that number is associated with the patient by matching with registration details
• Verify that the patient’s OHIP number is valid through MOHLTC Health Card Validation (HCV)

Virtual visit solutions will allow providers to send surveys to patients in order to: 

• Administer certain types of clinical questionnaires prior to an encounter (e.g., relating to mental health, child development, post-operative care)
• Support quality improvement efforts and patient experience reporting (e.g., at the end of a virtual care encounter)

Clinicians should authenticate using more than one piece of evidence to access the solution (2FA).

Examples:

• FOB + PIN
• Password + Security question
• Password + Authentication app
• Authenticator + SMS/Phone call
