While the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covers the cost of most of your medical needs, not all services are covered. Services not covered by OHIP are called “uninsured services” and common examples include forms and doctor’s notes. You can pay for each individual service when you use it and for some physicians you can pay for uninsured services with the all-inclusive Annual Fee. This approach follows the guidelines of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Please remember that the quality of care you receive does not depend on which form of payment you choose. We will continue to waive or reduce fees for patients who are unable to pay so you can always let us know if this is the case.
Please see below for a list of the most common non-OHIP insured services. Please speak to your provider for additional information. Receipts will be given for insurance and tax purposes.
