OHIP

Recently, there has been some talk on adoption boards about OHIP denying health coverage for 3 months to newly adopted children since January 27, 2009.

After checking Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act, I don't understand how this would be possible since there is an exception built in to the 3 month waiting period explicitly for adopted children:

(4) The three-month waiting period referred to in subsection (3) does not apply to the following persons who are residents and who apply to become insured persons:

1. A child under the age of 16 who is adopted by an insured person.
