no its not covered by Ontario health insurance plan
Under HIPAA, a covered entity (CE) is defined as a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse that transmits any health information in electronic form in connection with a HIPAA transaction. This includes providers who bill electronically, health insurance companies, and organizations that process health information. Covered entities are required to comply with HIPAA regulations to protect patient privacy and secure health information.
In the context of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), "use" refers to the internal handling of protected health information (PHI) by a covered entity, such as a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse. This includes any actions taken by the covered entity to access, share, or manage PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. Essentially, it encompasses the ways in which an entity operates with PHI within its own organization.

There is no one determining factor. The following criteria determines if an entity is a Covered Entity (CE): * A Health Plan * A Health Care Clearinghouse * A Health Care Provider who transmits any health information in electronic form in connection with a transactiopn covered by this subchapter (160.103). In the later's case, pretty much any kind of electronic communication is considered to qualify. While attempts have been made to deny CE status based on the "no transmission" exception, I can't recall a time that's worked. Furthermore, other privacy laws which don't allow that exception can either refer to HIPAA or trigger HIPAA. Ergo, if you provide health care, you are almost certainly a CE.
