If one has health card from Ontario (OHIP) and moves from Ontario to British Columbia, he/she has to wait for 90 days to get BC Health Card. During this time will OHIP be active and covering for any doctor's visits, etc.?

New residents from other parts of Canada should maintain coverage with their former medical plan during the waiting period.

Clarification is needed as to whether they are referring to OHIP in the above case. They could be referring to drug plan too.

Raj,
I moved with family from ON to QC and had coverage under OHIP for 90 days. So I think OHIP will cover one in BC during the waiting period. You could call to confirm.
