OHIP - What is the policy

[SW_ON_Huge_Moobs]

I only became aware of Male Breast Reduction surgury when I heard on the radio a couple of years back that the Ontario Government would no longer cover this (and the DJs had a good laugh over the condition).

It seems that I am reading on some of the posts here that OHIP does cover this to an extent - or is it only for those under a certain age.  If so they should "grandfarther" those of us who DIDN'T KNOW they could get this when they were under whatever threshold there may be.

I see reference to also going to OHIP directly or going to your MPP  - maybe one should go to such a meeting with an MPP topless for maximum effect.    

It would be a sad irony and insult if, after all these years, of paying taxes that support the whole health care system I now fall through the cracks on something that has been so difficult for me.

Hey man, ohip covers the excision part of the surgery(The Gland) but you have to cover the lipo part and the fee can range from 1000-1500$ is the last figure I've read on these boards,
