Will you be staying over-night at The Scarborough Hospital? You will need to be admitted—please don’t forget to bring these items with you:

• Ontario Health Card
• Other health insurance card(s)
• Social Insurance Card, or number
• Proof of valid semi-private and/or private insurance
• A valid credit card (Visa, American Express, or MasterCard)

Please check the General campus and Birchmount campus links on the left for specific admitting requirements.

Fees and Charges

• Ontario residents with valid Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan coverage are not charged for hospital services (except for the supplemental fee for a private or semi-private room, ambulance services, uninsured procedures, TV and telephone rental fees, and crutches/canes/casts.)
• If your procedure is NOT covered by OHIP, you will be asked to pay in advance.
• If you do not have OHIP (Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan) coverage, you may be required to pay a deposit to the hospital at the time of admission.
• The balance of your account will be due upon discharge from the hospital.
• All Canadian residents insured in their province are covered in Ontario.

Canadian residents without a provincial health care must pay for all charges incurred, based on the Ontario resident rates established by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
