Hi Drew, I want to re-iterate that the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care has confirmed that a Diaphragmatic Pacemaker Surgery is an insured physician service. It is a surgery that is fully covered by OHIP. If the hospital provides the surgery, they cannot charge you and you cannot pay for the device. Any charge or payment would be in breach of the Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act (CFMA). If you, or others in the same position as you are being told that these are not insured services, I would recommend you contact the CFMA at 1-888-662-6613 or [email protected]. I have sent you a letter outlining this information along with some other concerns you’ve had including the details on the home care plan that will be developed once you are closer to being discharged. I understand that you and your medical team have decided to go ahead with the surgery but that there has been a delay. I would like to extend my warmest wishes for a speedy recovery and the quickest possible move back home. All the best, Sophie
