Uninsured Services

(All Prices Inclusive of HST)

Some services are not covered by OHIP. Your physician will provide you with an invoice for these services and this must be paid before the service is completed.

Payment can be made by:

  • Cheque made out to your physician (in office)

  • Cash (in office)

  • Credit Card (in office, or by Square payment link if requested)

  • Interac e-Transfer to admin@kidwellpeds.com (please include child’s name and date of birth in the ‘message’ section)

Payment must be made before the service is rendered.

  • $75/year individual child

    $125/year for multiple children in same family unit (no cap)

    Families have the option to pay a single block fee which covers a selection of uninsured services. Please note if NOT listed here, the uninsured service is NOT included in the block fee.

    • Prescription renewal without a visit (unlimited)

    • Forms for school/camp/daycare (unlimited)

    • Sick notes (unlimited)

    • Transmission of medical records, electronic (unlimited)

    Please note the payment of a block fee is OPTIONAL and you may choose to pay for uninsured services individually. Payment of the block fee is not required to receive care at Kidwell Pediatrics. Payment of the block fee does not guarantee preferred access to insured services at Kidwell Pediatrics.

    Do consider whether a block fee is in your best interest based on your anticipated usage.

  • $25

    Prescription refills without a visit are not insured by OHIP and are subject to a charge.

    To avoid these charges, please ensure you are aware of your refill status at your regularly scheduled appointments.

    A request can be made by email to admin@kidwellpeds.com, or the custom form here.

    NOTE: Please do not leave requests to the last minute as your doctor may be away.

  • NEW: $180

    EXISTING/FOLLOW UP: $80

    You must ensure your child’s health card is valid at the time of your appointment, or your physician will be unable to bill OHIP. Payment must be provided prior to seeing your physician.

    Please note that the above payment can be refunded provided a valid health card is provided within 2 weeks of the visit.

  • Electronic: $30

    Printed: $30 (first 20pgs + 0.25/pg thereafter)

    You are entitled to your medical records, however, the cost of preparing these records for you (printing, or electronic transmission) is an uninsured service, and subject to the fees above.

  • $35

    Forms for school/daycare/work are not insured and subject to the above fee.

  • $25

    Please ensure a sick note is truly required by school or work before requesting as this is not an insured service.

  • $150

    The Children’s Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable credit that reduces your taxes payable, on average by about $3000.

    For clarity, to qualify for the DTC, your child must have a significant disability which is typically defined as causing significant impairment in activities of daily living, or excessive daily/weekly hours of care requirement.

    Completion of a disability tax credit for your child therefore involves review of your child’s chart including estimation of impairment across multiple abilities and activities of daily living.

    The disability tax credit application process is outlined here. Essentially, the parent completes Part A, receives a reference number which must be provided to your physician, who then completes Part B.

    Please note that the value of the disability tax credit is dependent on your income and taxes owed. Please also note that completion of a disability tax credit application by you and your physician does not guarantee approval.
