Uninsured Services
Most of our health services are covered by your Ontario Health Card. Uninsured services are services provided to patients that are deemed not medically necessary and, hence, are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). This includes sick notes, cosmetic procedures, charges for missed appointments, and completion of forms for daycare, insurance, legal or employment purposes. etc.
It is the patient's responsibility to pay for uninsured services. Please discuss this with your healthcare provider before you are examined.
How are the uninsured fee rates determined?
Fees are based on the Ontario Medical Association's suggested fees as found in the most current edition of the OMA Physician's Guide to Third Party and Other Uninsured Services.
For more information, please visit the latest (January 2025) Physician's Guide for Uninsured Services here:
