Q: Is the service covered by OHIP?
A: Most of the procedures are covered by OHIP. If you need an intervention and injection of corticosteroid, you will be asked to replace the medication that had been used. Alternatively, you could pay the clinic. It costs about $30.

There are procedures that are not fully covered by OHIP. You will be advised about those and given an estimate of cost, long before the day of procedure. Many of the private health insurance plans accept this extra cost.

If you need forms completed or you want a copy of your file, there would be an additional fee attached. Many plans/ Employers will reimburse you for this cost.
