About the eSubmit process
MOHLTC has created an electronic portal to create Manual Review and RA Inquiry forms. This is an alternative to creating PDF forms in our portal and faxing them (depending on your practice, the eSubmit process may be shorter or longer to complete).
At this time, MOHLTC does not provide integration with software vendors. To use the eSubmit portal, you will need to log into your Go Secure account - more information about eSubmit here.
