   What OHIP does and does not cover

   Plan for prescriptions, dental care and eye care, which are often not included.

   • OHIP covers doctor and hospital care, not most prescriptions or dental.
   • OHIP+ helps people 24 and under with prescriptions.
   • Workplace benefits can fill many gaps.
