Are you a New Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner in Ontario?
Did you know that you can improve access to specialist care and community services for your patients through eConsult and eReferral?
eConsult and eReferral are the first two initiatives of the Ontario eServices Program.
eConsult is a secure web-based tool that allows physicians and nurse practitioners timely access to specialist advice to over 130 specialties including multiple COVID-19 related specialties, often eliminating the need for a patient visit. The median time to get your eConsult answered is 0.9 days, with 96% answered within 7 days. Where applicable, you can bill OHIP using the K738 fee code.
eReferral is a secure and seamless way for a referring provider to send a referral to a specialist electronically. Our eReferral solution is EMR integrated and keeps all parties (PCP, Specialist and patient) informed throughout the referral process.
