Fees for Uninsured Medical Services

Not all of the services that your physician provides to you are insured through your provincial health card or your health plan. As a result, a fee may be charged at the time of your visit. Consult the uninsured services fees listed below or contact us at 613-564-3950 for more information.

Uninsured medical services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) and may be charged directly to the patient (or third party) at the discretion of the physician. Third Party services are defined as any service (including a medical assessment) received by a patient which, in whole or in part, is necessary for the production or completion of a document or transmission of information to satisfy the requirements of a party other than the patient.

  • How can I pay for my fees?

    The ByWard Family Health Team issues electronic invoices by e-mail for outstanding medical fees. If you receive an electronic invoice by e-mail, you may process your payment online at https://payment.bywardfht.ca/ or in person at one of our clinic locations. Accepted methods of online payment are Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. In person at any location accepted methods of payment are Visa, Mastercard, Debit, Cash.

    Your electronic invoice will indicate the date of the original invoice as well as a description of the medical fee for which it was issued.

  • Why am I being charged for a prescription renewal?

    A prescription renewal without a visit with your primary care provider is an administrative (uninsured) service not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.

    Prescription renewal requests received by phone, fax or (e)mail will incur a $25 charge per request.  If you do not wish to pay this fee, please book an appointment with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) prior to finishing your current course of medication. Patients who have been granted BWFHT Financial Exemption, are exempt from paying this fee. Consult the Prescription Renewals or Referrals section for more information.

  • Why am I being charged for a referral for Physiotherapy/Massage?

    A referral to an Allied Health Professional requested for documentation purposes (i.e. referral requested by your insurance company) is an administrative (uninsured) service not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.  As such a $25 fee per referral request will apply and must be paid prior to processing the request.  Allied Health Professionals include, but are not limited to: Massage Therapist, Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, Chiropodist/Podiatrist/Orthotics, Osteopath, Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Speech Language Pathologist, Psychologist, Dietician etc.

    Please contact the clinic at 613-564-3950 to request a referral from your primary care provider.

  • Visit Fee for RAMQ Patients

    Quebec (RAMQ) patients are required to pay a fee at each visit.

Visit Fees for Quebec Patients (RAMQ)

RAMQ patients registered to a primary care provider, are charged a $30 administrative fee at each visit. This is an out-of-pocket, non-refundable expense for health-care services provided by your primary care provider, at the walk in clinic, as well as by most specialists.

Non-registered RAMQ patients are required to pay a $30 fee for services provided at visits with most specialists.

For in person appointments, patients will be asked to pay the administrative fee and sign the Out of Province claim form at the time of their visit. For virtual appointments, patients will be required to pay the fee at the time of booking.
