A Kingston doctor is in a dispute with the Ontario Ministry of Health, which is trying to clawback more than $600,000 in OHIP payments.
The ministry suggests the doctor improperly billed for thousands of COVID-19 vaccinations during the height of the pandemic.
But Dr. Elaine Ma tells CTV News Ottawa, she did nothing wrong, and is concerned about the effect the decision could have on doctors like her moving forward.
During the pandemic, Dr. Elaine Ma organized physician led drive through vaccination clinics in Kingston, which delivered thousands of vaccines.
"I used medical students, I used other physicians, and I used medical assistants," she said. "However, because of the context of when we were doing these, OHIP saying that doesn't count."
One of the reasons why the health ministry takes issue is that Dr. Ma used medical students to help with vaccinations.
The other, OHIP says, is because the work was done in parking lots.
