Hi

I intended to live in Germany for 2 years but I came back after 2 weeks … and I forgot to notify province I was back… They require proof I came back to Canada after only 2 weeks … what documents do I need if I can’t get copy of airline ticket ?

I am on medication for depression and hypertension and need to renew this pills until I can get my health coverage restored …

What can I do ?

Jim

Hello Jim,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be very concerned about this situation.

We suggest that you call [ServiceOntario](http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/) directly for some information specific to your situation.

Here is some additional contact information:

ServiceOntario, INFOline at 1-866-532-3161  
In Toronto, 416-314-5518  
TTY 1-800-387-5559  
In Toronto, TTY 416-327-4282

You may also want to see if you are eligible to get services from the nearest [Community Health Centre](http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/common/system/services/chc/locations.aspx) while your OHIP is being restored.

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are non-profit organizations that provide primary health and health promotion programs for individuals, families and communities. In some cases, they are able to serve a limited number of people who meet the eligibility criteria and do not have OHIP.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
