An Ontario doctor who organized drive-through vaccination services during the COVID-19 pandemic has been ordered to repay over $600,000 to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
Doctor Elaine Ma organized medical students to vaccinate thousands of patients in their cars at the Queen’s University Richardson Stadium parking lot in Kingston, between July 2021 and January 2022. To perform these vaccination services, Ma claimed $606,657.60 from Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). She will have to pay the lion’s share back, according to a ruling by the Health Services Appeal and Review Board delivered on Nov. 26.
