List of uninsured services and fees

Prescription renewals without a patient visit is not a service that is covered by OHIP. 

Patients who choose to have prescription renewals done without an appointment will be charged a fee per the uninsured services fee guide. Please note, we require a minimum notice of 3 business days  for such requests. 

Prescription renewals made during a regular appointment will not have a charge. 

It is important to understand that each time a request is made by fax, phone, or from the pharmacy directly, without an office visit, the patient’s chart needs to be accessed, then reviewed by the physician, the necessary documentation is added to the medical file and the prescription needs to be sent to the pharmacy. 

Prescriptions written at the time of an office visit will be provided in quantities (with repeats as necessary) to provide the patient with enough medication to last until a follow-up appointment is medically necessary.
