Yes. If the patient is currently living in Ontario and is referred to the clinic by an Ontario physician, the cost is covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
Patients living in Canada but outside of Ontario are covered by their provincial health plan for visits to see our physicians, with the exception of patients from Quebec. Patients from Quebec will have their costs partially covered by the Quebec health plan, but must arrange for the remainder of the cost to be covered by private insurance. We can discuss this with you when you book their first appointment. Patients are responsible for their own transportation and accommodations.
We can treat patients with the following legal statuses: citizen, immigrant, refugee, and international student with UHIP coverage. At this time we do not offer treatment to patients from outside Canada. For information on a pain clinic in your area, please call the World Cervicogenic Headache Society at 712-252-4386.
