Ontario Ministry of Health, Error Report Explanatory Codes
Where you’ll see it
On your Error Report. The claim was rejected before OHIP assessed it. Error Reports arrive within about 48 hours of a submission.
Resubmitting usually won't change this
OHIP considers the service already paid, claimed by someone else, over its limit, or not insured. A corrected resubmission generally won't be paid. If you believe OHIP's records are wrong, raise it with the ministry instead of resubmitting.
A rejected claim was never assessed, so the corrected claim goes back in as a new submission. The three-month limit still runs from the date of service, and a rejection doesn't reset it.
Our summary is a guide, not a ruling. The ministry’s wording and the current Schedule of Benefits are what OHIP applies. See OHIP Error Report vs Remittance Advice: reading the codes for how the two reports differ.
