Uninsured Services

As your family doctors, it has been our pleasure to help you with all of your health care needs. We strive to deliver medical services effectively and efficiently so that you can have access to a high standard of care. Unfortunately, as the cost of health care continues to rise, there is an increasing number of medical services that are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, or OHIP. These are often referred to as “uninsured services”, and they require time and resources to administer.

Examples of these uninsured services include:

• Insurance and sick notes

• Prescription renewals over the phone/fax

• Missed appointments and medical supplies

A full list of such services has been provided below.

We are charging for uninsured services in accordance with the guidelines recommended by the Ontario Medical Association. This page will provide information on what the uinsured services are and their costs; as well as the option of a annual Block Fee. Choosing not to pay the annual fee will not affect your access to insured OHIP services (seeing your doctor) in any way.

All uninsured services must be paid in full when rendered. Forms, notes, letters and prescriptions will not be faxed or emailed until payment is received.

 Extended Health Annual Fee Plan

Each uninsured service listed below is charged per service, however for some patients it may make more sense to enroll in the Annual Fee service, which is a one-time payment that covers most services for one calendar year (January 1 to December 31).

Individual: $125
Couple: $200
Family (1-2 Adults, children 18 and younger): $250
Student: $100
Senior (65 and older): $100
The Annual Fee has remained the same for 2024

Please note that the Annual Fee covers most but not all uninsured services. For more information please see below.

If you are interested in enrolling yourself or your family in the Annual Fee, you can proceed to pay for it here, make sure to select your corresponding physician.
