The objective of this report was to study the extent to which Ontario residents use physician services in the United States. The Ontario Ministry of Health provided data on out-of-country expenditures for 1987–94 and physician claims submitted to the Ministry for services provided in 1992 and 1993. Physician services provided to Ontario residents were classified into 16 broad categories of medical services, and expenditures were classified by service date, age group, and type of medical service. Conclusions were drawn about how much Ontario residents spent for physician services in the United States and the types of services that they sought.
