Uninsured Services
For your information, OHIP does not pay for all services that you request from your doctor. Services that OHIP does not pay for are called "non-insured or uninsured services" and it is illegal and fraudulent for doctors to bill OHIP for them. In order to maintain the financial viability of our office and ensure prompt service, it is necessary (and legal) for our practice to charge for these services.
Every effort has been made to account for most of the commonly requested services below. If the uninsured service you seek is not listed, please communicate this to me or my office staff.
The fees contained in the list below are based on the Ontario Medical Association's suggested fees as found in the 2024 edition of the OMA Physician's Guide to Third Party and Other Uninsured Services.
All uninsured services must be paid in full when rendered. You have the right to receive a receipt and my office staff will gladly provide you with one upon settlement of your account. Please note that our office accepts credit or debit.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Missed initial (first) consultation appointment without 2 business days notice $120
Missed followup appointment without 2 business days notice $35
Sick/maternity/school board maternity notes $23.50
