Individual diagnostic lab tests are often covered for members of provincial health insurance (e.g. B.C. Medical Services Plan, OHIP or Saskatchewan Health Services Card). Some select tests that are recommended by your healthcare provider may not be covered by provincial health insurance. Your doctor will usually advise you in advance of ordering the test if there is a fee. You will also be advised if there is a fee upon your arrival at a Patient Service Centre and the payment options. If you require a test not covered by the provincial health insurance, you should contact your private health insurance about potential coverage.
