Understand your coverage, additional fees and payment options.

Ontario Health Card

Uninsured services

Some tests, services and medical devices aren’t covered by OHIP. Explore your options and any additional costs.

No Canadian health coverage

If you don’t have Canadian health insurance, you’ll need to pay all estimated fees in advance. Fees may apply to appointments and assessments, diagnostic tests and procedures, treatments and follow-up visits, assistive devices and medications.

Choosing optional services

Your healthcare provider may recommend an additional or enhanced test, service or medical device based on your health needs, their professional judgement, best practices and clinical guidelines.

Ask your provider about your options so you have the information you need to decide. You can choose to receive only OHIP-covered services, which remain a high-quality, reliable option. There is no pressure to purchase an optional uninsured service.

Choosing not to purchase an optional uninsured service won’t affect the way you’re treated, your wait time or your access to insured care.

How fees are set

As a not-for-profit centre, we seek to keep prices for uninsured services low while covering our costs. Current prices for uninsured services and options are listed in our fee schedule.
