What is the Office Protocol? Do I need to bring the OHIP card every time?
When you come to our office please have your health card ready for the receptionist. You must make sure your health card is valid. A valid health card is a card that has your current address, and is not expired. If your card is expired you may need to pay $25.00 for the visit. This will be refunded to you when you produce a valid health card. Remember to change your address you can do this on-line, you can use kiosk in the mall, or go to the OHIP office on King Street. You need to inform the front desk of any address, telephone or contact number changes. If we need to contact you for a referral or test results we need this information. The receptionist will check you in, you will have a seat in the waiting room, and the medical assistant will take you to your room when it comes available. We do leave emergency time slots open during the day so we may not always be running on time please be patient the doctor will see you as soon as possible. Q:Medical Referrals – What should I do after
