Some specialized tests may not be covered by OHIP. For example, OHIP does not cover digital retinal photography, Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT), or contact lens fittings and assessments. Visual field testing is not always covered by OHIP. Our office will bill OHIP for services wherever possible, but in some cases the cost of testing will be billed to the patient.
