will OHIP cover hospital fees if i pay out of pocket for my orchi?

so i’m kinda scared rn

i’m getting my orchi done next month with Peter Vlaovic at Micheal Garron Hospital. i’m choosing to pay out of pocket since i haven’t technically been on HRT for 12 months (doing DIY), so i don’t qualify for OHIP.

i can afford the surgery and knock-out gas cost (it’s like $1438), but i completely forgot about hospital fees and i’m so scared :(

does anyone know what happens in this situation? will OHIP still help out for this bit? i’ve already contacted the hospital about this but they haven’t gotten back to me.
