Background

Health Claims for Auto Insurance (HCAI) is an electronic billing system for Ontario`s auto insurance industry that is in development by the Insurance Bureau of Canada and under the supervision of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. When complete the system will require all health professionals working with auto insurance claimants to submit certain OCF Forms for approval and invoices for payment electronically.

Initially introduced in winter of 2008, the system experienced significant technical problems and at the request of HCAI Processing, the Ontario Superintendent of Financial Services, Bob Christie, announced a temporary suspension of the Health Claims for Auto Insurance (HCAI) Guideline on March 12, 2008.

HCAI has been under redevelopment with a goal to reintroduce the system in 2010.

Regular updates on HCAI redevelopment, the pilot testing of the new system and the proposed re-introduction in 2010 are available at the HCAI website: www.hcaiinfo.ca
