Uninsured Services

What are "uninsured services"?

Services are referred to as "uninsured" when they are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Common examples include doctor's notes, forms for insurance/legal/employment purposes, cosmetic procedures, and charges for missed appointments.

How do I pay for uninsured services?

We use a service called PatientSERV, which provides many benefits to our patients, including the ability to choose between an annual membership plan or pay-per-service and our methods of payment have expanded to include credit and debit, online or in person at our office.

This service began in February 2024, all patients of Dr. Stewart and Dobson, would have received information from PatientSERV in the mail. For a copy of the introductory letter that was sent, please click here.

Why am I being charged for these services?

While OHIP covers the cost of most of your medical needs, the cost of services that are not included, is the responsibility of the patient (or a third party who has requested the service, in some circumstances)

How are the fees for these services set?

Each year the Ontario Medical Association updates the suggested rates for uninsured services and fees are based on these rates
