EMC services are administrative and are provided by qualified non-physician personnel such as our appointment specialists or Nurse Practitioner (who are not covered by OHIP). Medical services arranged through EMC are generally covered by OHIP, with certain exceptions, which should be paid directly by the client to the Medical Provider (not to EMC).

Yes they may. Such patients would need a referral from a physician and call those offices themselves to book the appointments (or coordinate through their referring physician’s office).

No we do not guarantee faster access. However, we have dedicated appointment specialists contacting various offices regularly looking for cancellations/openings which generally results in shorter wait times for appointments.

EMCs services are only offered on an annual basis.

EMC does know of physicians who are accepting OHIP patients and EMC will make the introduction, however, EMC does not provide medical services. We do have contracts with various medical professionals including a nurse practitioner, who, although independent of EMC, are available to medically assess clients as required and make appropriate referrals as necessary.
