- Explore Transparent Fee-for-Service Healthcare | NPACC
Discover NPACC's transparent fee-for-service healthcare, offering personalized care tailored to your needs. Visit us today! Back to Home Fee-For-Service Model At NPACC, we operate in a fee-for-service model. This means that clients are charged a set fee for each visit and service received. Frequently Asked Questions Why do I Have to Pay Out of Pocket for Your Services? In Ontario, most healthcare services are funded through OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan). Unfortunately, independent Nurse Practitioner (NP) clinics do not receive direct OHIP funding for patient visits. As a result, NPs operating in private practice must charge out-of-pocket fees for services, similar to other healthcare providers such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, and registered massage therapists. What’s Included in the Fee? For each visit, the fee covers specific care and/or treatment provided at the visit. This could include things like a medical history, physical assessment and treatment plans including medication prescriptions or other services. What About Publicly Funded Health Care? While we fully support the publicly funded health care system in Ontario, we recognize that there are situations where additional services or alternatives may be necessary. Our fee-for-service model allows us to provide these services in a way that complements the public system and meets your individual needs. What is your payment process? Payment for services is due at the time of your visit. We accept various payment methods including credit card, cash, VISA debit or e-transfer. Do my health benefits cover your services? Your health benefits may cover some or all of the costs associated with care provided by a Nurse Practitioner. We can provide you with the necessary information and documentation to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. What if I have questions about your fees? We strive to be transparent about our pricing. If you have any questions about the cost of a specific service, please feel free to ask. We want you to understand what you’re paying for and ensure there are no surprises. If you have any questions about our fee-for-service setup or your billing, we are here to help. Please reach out to info@npacc.ca with any questions or concerns.

- About Us | NPACC
About us Ontario’s healthcare system is currently facing significant challenges, and our community is no exception. Our emergency department is overwhelmed by persons seeking care for acute but non-life threatening conditions, leading to excessively long wait times and overcrowding. There are primary care physician shortages leaving many residents without access to a family doctor and consistent care. Not only does this compel someone to use the emergency room or walk-in clinic more often, but they often seek care at later stages, resulting in more advanced health conditions. NPACC seeks to fill a critical healthcare gap in our community by providing residents with timely, accessible care for non-life-threatening but urgent medical issues, thus reducing the burden on emergency departments and filling gaps in primary care access. More specifically, NPACC hopes to reduce emergency room overcrowding and wait times by diverting patients with urgent needs, allowing the hospital to focus more on critical emergencies. In regards to primary care, NPACC wants to ensure that residents receive access to timely medical attention for acute issues, despite not having a family physician. We would further support our communities primary care sector and family physicians by easing the strain and pressure placed on them due to the high demand of their services and thus reduce the backlog they are facing, causing patients to wait many weeks for their health care concerns to be addressed. Lastly, as mentioned above, by providing patients with timely access to care for acute health concerns, NPACC will prevent minor issues from escalating into severe conditions requiring hospitalization which will improve health outcomes and further decrease the burden on our overwhelmed health care system.
