Why do some patients get approved for funding of OOC cancer treatment but other patients get denied?
Each application for out of country prior approval is adjudicated independently and is based on each patient’s individual circumstances and the information provided by the referring Ontario physician. The severity of the patient’s condition, the presence of additional medical problems, and the opinions of Ontario experts are all considered when reviewing an application. The ministry’s decision, however, must meet the criteria established by Ontario law.
