1. Please be direct and honest about information and give accurate and complete medical history.

2. Please be considerate to the doctors, nurses, therapists, support and administration staff, as well as other patients.

3. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment to allow for the check in process to be completed prior to the appointment start time.

4. Please bring your OHIP card, your medications or respective list, any other relevant health information/records with you to your appointments.

5. Please be mindful of the appointment duration of 10-15 minutes per regular visit, and limit to 1 or 2 issues per appointment.

​

Financial/OHIP Policy

​

For medical services:

• All patients must provide a valid (not expired) OHIP card at every visit in order to receive covered medical care.

•  

  In the event of an expired OHIP card, the patient will be billed directly for the service at the time of the visit. This is non-refundable.

   

For cosmetic minor surgical procedures or for services not covered by OHIP, all services rendered are paid for in full at the time of service. There are no exceptions.

​

Dr. O.K. Medical Center provides all patients with all appropriate receipts of payment for submission to insurance companies but does not bill directly to 3rd party coverage providers.
