What Kind of Hearings Does the Board Hold?
The Board holds three types of hearings: oral, electronic, and written hearings. At an Oral Hearing, you and OHIPs representative will appear before the Board in person. At an Electronic Hearing, the Board will conduct the hearing by telephone. All or some of the Parties participate throughout the hearing by telephone. In a Written Hearing, the Board will consider only the written submissions and documents that you and OHIP file with it. In the Form 1 that the Board sends to you, the Board will ask you whether you have a preference for a certain type of hearing. Your request is an important consideration. However, it is up to the Board to decide which type of hearing it will hold to hear your appeal.
