After years of advocacy by Celiac Canada and a successful multi-year pilot, the Ontario Minister of Health has approved making the celiac blood test a permanent part of OHIP coverage. This means the test can now be ordered in primary care settings without barriers.

This is a huge win for the tens of thousands of Ontarians still awaiting a diagnosis.

Best of all, this decision helps secure pan-Canadian coverage for celiac disease blood testing—removing a major barrier to timely diagnosis.
