A dentist in Niagara Falls, Ontario, James Frizzell, DDS, has operated a private practice for roughly three decades. Under Dr. James Frizzell’s leadership, this practice treats people with disabilities and accepts patients under the Ontario Disability Support Program.
An Ontario government safety net program for people with severe disabilities, the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is designed to provide critical assistance when other support systems have failed. ODSP not only provides dental insurance and other healthcare benefits, but also can help cover necessary living expenses.
To qualify for ODSP, individuals must be a permanent resident of Ontario and 18 years of age or more. They must demonstrate significant financial need and have an asset total under the stipulated limits for their particular living situation.
Furthermore, they must meet the ODSP disability requirements. In short, they must have a continuous or recurrent impairment that medical experts predict will last for at least a year. Whether physical or mental, this impairment must be serious enough to interfere with daily activities, such as work, self-care, and involvement with other people.
Candidates can bypass the ODSP disability adjudication process if they fall into one or more prescribed classes. These classes range from senior citizens who are ineligible for Old Age Security to individuals who currently live in a residence under the Homes for Special Care Act.
