05

What does the annual fee cover?

The annual fee covers a range of personalized services that are not covered by OHIP, including an annual comprehensive health assessment, InBody body composition assessment, certain forms and certificates, prescription renewal services when appropriate, on-site blood collection, and concierge support with appointments, referrals, and follow-up.

06

What is included in the Annual Comprehensive Health Assessment?

The assessment is approximately two hours and is designed to provide a detailed picture of your current health and identify potential risk factors.

Approximately one hour is spent with a nurse and may include a detailed health history, vital signs, on-site blood collection, ECG, hearing and vision screening, InBody body composition analysis, Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), medication review, vaccination history, and review of recommended preventive screening.

You will then spend approximately one hour with your physician to review your medical history and assessment findings, discuss your health concerns, complete a physical examination as appropriate, and develop a personalized plan for your care.

07

Are physician appointments covered by OHIP?

Medically necessary physician services that are insured by OHIP continue to be billed to OHIP. The clinic’s annual fee applies to uninsured services and is separate from OHIP-insured medical care.

08

Is Signature MD bilingual?

Yes. Signature MD provides care in both English and French. Our goal is to allow clients to communicate about their health in the language in which they feel most comfortable.

09

10

What makes Signature MD different from a traditional family medicine clinic?

Signature MD is designed around a more personalized and coordinated healthcare experience. Our model emphasizes time with your healthcare team, preventive health, convenient on-site services, and assistance coordinating different aspects of your care.

Our smaller clinic environment also allows us to focus on building long-term relationships with our clients and providing a more personal experience from the moment you contact the clinic.
