. Physicians’ Dialysis Center Inc. v. Credit Valley Hospital
In Physicians’ Dialysis Center Inc. v. Credit Valley Hospital (Ont CA, 2023) the Court of Appeal, in characterizing a party's position on appeal, locates the Canadian and Ontario statutory basis of the prohibition on medical 'extra billing' by physicians:
[44] In the alternative, the appellants submit that the trial judge’s interpretation of the MOU results in an illegal agreement, because it would entail payment for “extra billing” for an insured health service rendered to an insured person, which is proscribed by the Canada Health Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-6 at ss. 18-21; see also Ontario’s Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act, 2004, S.O. 2004, c. 5, at s. 10.
