Ontario's Auditor General reveals concerns over pharmacists' and doctors' billing practices

There is no way of knowing how many Ontarians get shots for infectious diseases such as measles and the flu, Lysyk noted. She raised questions about billings for flu shots, saying there were 21,000 incidents where the Ministry of Health paid doctors and pharmacists for giving shots “more than once” to the same person last year.

If it's shown that any of these pharmacists and doctors have knowingly defrauded the system, their licenses should be suspended.

I guess that answers that. ^

She even found one case of a doctor who billed OHIP 18 times for giving the flu shot to the same patient.

Sometimes it just doesn't take the first 17 times.
