Annual Block Fee Program
At LMC Healthcare, our priority is providing you with high-quality, accessible, patient-focused care. While OHIP covers most aspects of your health care, OHIP does not cover the cost of all the services provided to our patients.
The demand for uninsured services has risen dramatically in the last several years. By enrolling in the Annual Block Fee program, it will reduce the amount of time our office staff spends on administrative tasks, improving the efficiency of the care we provide to you and your family.
This program is designed to reduce patient costs. For a flat fee, patients get 12 months of unlimited uninsured services. We are pleased to also offer several new services to our patients to make health care for you more convenient. Access to a dedicated email for non-emergency medical inquiries and access to a phone-line with live agents for appointment booking, cancellation, and re-booking requests, along with forgiveness for one no-show fee will be included, among other services, in the Annual Block Fee. Register on the Patient Portal to learn more.
By choosing to make one annual payment, you will be covered for many uninsured services and will not be billed separately for individual services not covered by OHIP. Using uninsured services is completely optional and declining them will in no way impact the health care we provide you.
To register for the Annual Bock Fee program, we are asking that all patients please register on our new Patient Portal . There is no cost to access and use the LMC Patient Portal.
Please note you will require your health card information to verify your identity.
Support Options for Patients: Many private insurance plans cover the costs of uninsured services/block fees. Patients without insurance who cannot afford to pay for uninsured services may qualify for our compassion program.
Should you have any questions about the Annual Block Fee program that are not answered here, please feel send us an email at [email protected].
