Uninsured Services
As family doctors, we are committed to helping you with all of your health care needs. As you know, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) pays for most of your medical visits here at the office, however, some medical procedures and most administrative services are not insured by OHIP. These services are called “uninsured service”. These services are still provided by this office but require significant time and resources to administer. In the face of rising office expenses and government restrictions, we are no longer able to provide these services to you free of charge. In order to maintain the highest standard of care, payment for these services have become the responsibility of either the patient themselves or the agency requesting the service.
Your doctors will charge a fee for uninsured services in accordance with the fees guidelines set by the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO). Please see below for a list of uninsured services fee guide. However, if the service you request is not on the list, please communicate with your doctor or the clinic’s staff and we will provide further clarification.
