Need to submit your medical billing claims?

Want to use a simple and intuitive medical billing software to do it?

ClinicAid might just be the solution you're looking for!

But if you're not sure how to get started with ClinicAid, it might seem overwhelming to make the switch or to begin submitting your own claims, even though the process is simple!

Physicians and medical professionals in Ontario will need to make the switch to the new Medical Claims Electronic Data Transfer (MC EDT) by the end of 2014, according to the new regulation put out by Ontario's Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The old EDT system will be phased out and the new web-based MC EDT system will become the only way physicians can submit their claims to OHIP.

If you're looking for the 2016/2017 cutoff dates for OHIP invoice submission, then look no further!

Cut-off dates for medical billing submissions sent to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) vary each month.

The general rules are that cut-off is the 18th of each month at 5:00 p.m. EST.

If the 18th falls on a weekend or holiday, cut-off is extended until the following business day. Claims received by that point will usually be processed to be paid by the 15th of the following month.

The 18th is a 'soft cutoff' with claims being accepted sometimes several days after the official cutoff date, this is usually on a "time permitting" basis. If this is not possible, those claims will be processed during the next billing cycle. Payment usually takes place on the 10th working day of each month for the previous month's claims.

Here is the cut-off schedule for EDT/MC EDT claim submissions for 2016/2017.
