how and where to get my Ohip record for RQ?

I think others are more familiar with this than I am, but since there has been no response so far I will repeat what I have read at other forums about requests for OHIP records (I vaguely recall that this also might have been discussed in a previous thread here but I could not find it).

From another source:

What you can obtain is your "Personal Claim History (PCH), which is

a summary or listing of all services received under a person's Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) health card number. It is not an individual's personal medical record history, but rather, a payment record of medical claims submitted by health care providers against a specific health number. A PCH may include details such as: date service was received, fee paid to the health service provider, health number, patient's name, fee schedule code, health care provider's name, date the claim was approved for payment by the ministry, etc.

These records are kept for seven years.

You can make a request for the PCH by submitting a request in writing containing the following information:

health card number date of birth time frame of history mailing and physical address

The request must be dated and signed.

The source I obtained this from provides the following address for submitting the form, but I would suggest confirming this with a local OHIP service office.

Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Personal Health Information Office Corporate Administration Services 49 Place d'Armes, 4th Floor P.O. Box 48 Kingston ON K7L 5J3

Hopefully someone who has done this recently will confirm or correct this information.

There is also a link at the ohip page at pub info site for Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care to an E-Mail address which you can use to send an inquiry regarding how to obtain your PCH, and in response you should get updated information about how to do this.

Hi is there any fee/charge for this PCH record?

I did a google search and landed on this page.

Can anyone tell us what the equivalent for OHIP in BC is & where could we get it from?

 Thank you very much hiyelkar . Wish you a speedy process.
