OHIP error code R06
Invalid Provider for RMBS
What R06 means
The Ministry of Health’s official wording for R06 is: “Invalid Provider for RMBS.”
This code appears on your Claims Error Report (downloaded through MCEDT). It means the claim was rejected at submission and was never adjudicated for payment — fix the issue below and resubmit the claim.
How to fix R06
You aren't a valid provider for reciprocal billing - confirm your registration, or bill the patient's home province, then resubmit.
Program-specific codes come from claims routed through special programs — Reciprocal Medical Billing for out-of-province patients, WSIB, telemedicine/virtual care, and Integrated Community Health Services Centres. The fix depends on that program's own submission rules.
