To further support the government’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Ontario, the Ministry of Health (ministry) and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) have reached an agreement to implement a new option for hospitals as an alternative to reactivating the Protected Code Blue or Pre-Emptive Protected Code Blue response team funding.

On March 1, 2021 the ministry implemented a new temporary life threatening critical care premium fee code E415A with an effective date retroactive to October 1, 2020 and in effect until September 30, 2021.
