HCAI ready to support auto reforms on Sept. 1
Ontario’s Health Claims for Auto Insurance (HCAI) system is preparing for the upcoming auto insurance reforms.
In a bulletin, HCAI said its system will accommodate the new OCFs, the new SABS regulation, and the new Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) intervention codes by the September 1, 2010 implementation date.
HCAIinfo (www.hcaiinfo.ca) will be continuously updated throughout the summer to provide education and information on these changes to the system’s users.
As of March 31, 2010, 100% of insurers that write auto policies in Ontario are using HCAI.
The new OCF 23 will accommodate both the Pre-approved Framework Guideline for Grade I and II Whiplash Associated Disorders (for accidents prior to Sept 1, 2010) and the Minor Injury Guideline (for accidents occurring on or after Sept 1, 2010).
