Seniors to get Health Cards Ontario seniors will soon be get- ting full details of the new system of Health 65 cards being introduc- ed this year. ~The Ministry of Health is issu- Ing every resident over 65 with one new white and red plastic card to replace both the current OHIP card and the Ontario Senior Citizen Privilege card. The individual Health 65 cards, available to every eligible senior resident in Ontario, are a key part of the new information technology the Ministry of Health is introducing. "This new card means people's COMPARE THE RATE! 165 QUEEN ST., PORT PERRY 985-8435 health will be better serv- ed," Health Minister Elinor Caplan said. ""A personal number is the key to reliable records." With the new card, the Ontario Senior Citizen Privilege card will no longer be required. Benefits will remain the same, but all that will be needed is the one new card. Although the new Health 65 card is good for Ontario's Drug Benefit program, the Ontario Senior Citizen Privilege card will still be needed until your phar- macist's billing system has been converted. This should happen by July 1 this year. The ministry has mailed a Health Card Information kit to every household in Ontario. All Ontario residents should fill out the form that is in the kit, in- cluding all seniors. In the case of the infirm, a member of the fami- ly or guardian may complete the form. The ministry would like the forms returned as soon as possible. : "The sooner we receive your completed form, the sooner you will receive your new Health 65 card," said Dr. Robert Mac- Millan, the executive director of the ministry's health insurance division. He stressed that under the new card, health care benefits, will be unchanged. The ministry recommends that you write down your new Health 65 card number and keep it in a ". safe place in case you éver lose your card. The number will speed up card replacement, and may be used along with other identifica- tion to obtain health and drug benefits in the interim. on Fashion SPECIALIZING IN LADIES' AFFORDABLE FASHIONS Hours: Mon. to Sat. 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM; Fri. to 8 PM.
