UNINSURED SERVICES

As many of you know, Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covers the costs of most of your medical needs. However, there are many services we provide which are not covered by OHIP. These services can require significant time and resources to provide. It is the patient’s responsibility to pay for uninsured services. The uninsured service fees are based on the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) suggested fees. All fees are subject to HST unless otherwise noted.

Examples include (but not limited to): School/Camp Forms, Insurance Forms, sick notes, chart transfer, missed appointments, travel paperwork, etc.

Completion of forms is considered an Uninsured Service and is not covered by OHIP. Although all attempts will be made to complete forms in a timely manner, as per the OMA and CPSO guidelines, physicians have up to 60 days to complete forms.
