I mailed out renewal form which was mailed out to me on September 4th. I had a visit with my doctor yesterday and the front desk asked for my new card as, the visit would not be covered. I told them that my card does not expire till October 12 ( my birthday). I have tried to contact someone there by phone which has been impossible! I have tried several #s. All I want to find out is if my new card is in process and when I can hope to receive it.

“If you have a green Health Card with a photo, your card has a section near the bottom that says "Valid Until” which means your health care provider should accept your current OHIP number and version code unless something has happened to change your status.
You can contact Service Ontario in person or through their specific page regarding questions about renewal of OHIP cards. “Contact us: Renew a health card”
You can ask them for your new version code to update the file at your doctor’s office.
