Health Card Information

Did you know your health card needs to be renewed every 5 years? You can do this easily online, by mail or by going in person to Service Ontario. Your expiry date should be listed right on your health card.

If you are required to renew your health card in person because you need a photo or signature done, and are unable to for medical reasons, you can use the Health Card Medical Exemption Request form. This form is filled out by yourself and a physician and allows your legal representative, like your Power of Attorney, to renew this at Service Ontario on your behalf. The form and more information can be found online at https://forms.mgcs.gov.on.ca/dataset/014-3164-84

Having your health card up to date is important as it guarantees access to the medical care you are entitled to that is covered by OHIP.
