What is OPS BPS / MCEDT?
OPS BPS: Physician portal from the Ministry of Health to help you manage permissions of your claims with your billing software or billing agent (this is also known as the "designation" process).
MCEDT: Medical Claims Electronic Data Transfer - This is the system that allows billing software to upload and download your claims. Permissions to this system are managed in the OPS BPS portal by the physician.
Why do I need an OPS BPS / MCEDT account?
All physicians billing under their solo (0000) billing number need to register for a OPS BPS/ MCEDT account in order to submit their claims to OHIP for processing.
How to register for an OPS BPS/ MCEDT account
When you registered for your OHIP billing number, you should have obtained an invitation letter to register your OPS BPS/MCEDT account. It contains two "Unique Identifiers" that'll you need to enter during this setup process.
Note: If you don't have this letter and you already have a billing number contact the Ministry of Health by email: ProviderRegistration.MOH@ontario.ca or phone: 1-800 262-6524 to have one re-issued.
