Bring the full document

Bring every page and any instructions from the requesting organization. Complete your own sections before the visit unless the form says otherwise.

Expect an assessment

A physician can only document findings supported by an appropriate assessment and available medical information. Complex forms may require more time or records.

Confirm the fee

OHIP generally does not cover administrative forms and notes. Ask reception about the fee and expected completion time before proceeding.
