As many of you know, OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) covers the costs of most of your medical needs. However, there are many services we provide which are not covered by OHIP. These services can require significant time and resources to provide.

Examples of these include, but are not limited to:

• Prescription Renewals Without a Visit
• School / Camp Forms
• Referrals for Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Orthotics, etc without a visit.
• Insurance Forms

We have now partnered with PatientSERV, which offers you the choice of a yearly plan to allow for cost savings or ease of payment for a pay-as-you-go option.

Please notify your healthcare provider during your visit of any required prescription renewals.

All referrals are sent directly from your provider to the intended specialist or program. Patients will be contacted directly, either by phone, mail or email when an appointment date and time has been made. Wait times will vary depending on the type and urgency of the referral being made.

The Avon Family Medicine Centre has been selected to be a training centre for new family doctors through the University of Western Ontario. Family medicine residents are highly trained doctors who already have a 3 or 4 year university degree and 4 years of medical school training. Together with your family doctors and staff, these resident doctors will provide you and your families with the best care possible. Your involvement and feedback as patients are very important to the training of these doctors.

Avon Family Medicine Centre does not call their patients with normal test results. If you are worried about test results, please contact the office. Non-urgent calls will be returned within 2-3 days.

If your injury or illness is work related, your physician must submit documents to WSIB. Please bring your portion of the form completed and signed.
