Accommodations
Our hospital offers three types of accommodation to suit your financial and social needs as well as the requirements dictated by your health.
Please arrive prepared with your additional insurance coverage information. We require your policy number, certificate number or ID number. In addition, if you are covered under a group plan, you will be asked for you group number and the name of your employer. If you do NOT have a valid OHIP card or you are not covered under a group plan you will be required to provide a credit card number/expiry date, and the name of the cardholder, as it appears on the credit card.
Standard Wards:
With three/four beds, this is the basic accommodation for the Medical Surgical Unit. Cost is covered entirely by OHIP for Ontario residents insured under the plan; for out-of-province patients with other valid provincial insurance; and for federal plans such as WSIB, and RCMP/DVA/CAF group members. Exception: Quebec coverage where physician fees are charged to the patient.
Semi-private:
This is a hospital room with just two occupants. There is an extra charge for semi-private accommodation above the cost covered by OHIP and most other Canadian provincial and federal plans.
Private:
This is a one-bed room. There is an extra charge for private accommodation above the cost covered by OHIP and most other Canadian provincial and federal plans.
Upon admission, you may request the type of accommodation you prefer, and we will try to meet your needs. Please note that rooms are assigned based on medical need as a first priority. It is the sole responsibility of the patient to check with your insurer to confirm your insurance coverage and limits. Many insurance companies do not cover 100% of hospital charges and you are responsible for any balances owed to the hospital and will be billed accordingly.
