Fees
In an effort to be fair to our patients, we have set rates for uninsured services below the average rates charged by other family doctors. In circumstances where a patient has refused to pay an outstanding fee, or has accumulated a number of unpaid fees without a reasonable justification for nonpayment, the physician may consider ending the patient-physician relationship and de-registering the patient from his practice.Option 1: Pay-Per-Service
If you choose Pay-Per-Service, you will be asked to pay for uninsured services prior to receiving them according to the following fee schedule recommended by the Ontario Medical Association.
