Block Fee Program
Ontario physicians generally provide insured services (initial and follow-up appointments) to patients which are paid by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
However, there are a variety of uninsured services that are not covered by OHIP (non-OHIP). These include things like presription refills, sick notes for work, copy and transfer of medical records, and medical advice via the telephone/email (click here to learn more about our email policy). The fees are in accordance with the Physician's Guide to Third-Party & Other Uninsured Services, pulished by the Ontario Medical Association.
Below is a list of fees for these uninsured services:
