Fees & Payment Policies

Villa Nova Medical Clinic collects fees for certain uninsured services and missed appointments in a transparent and patient-friendly manner. The following outlines our current policies.

Fee-for-Service and Uninsured Fees

Certain services are not insured by the Medical Care Plan (MCP) and may incur a charge. These include, but are not limited to:

Common Uninsured Services

Service Fee
Driver’s Medical CA$80.00
Disability Tax Credit Forms CA$130.00
Expired / Unavailable MCP Card Visit CA$50.00
Out-of-Province Visit CA$50.00
Boxer’s Medical / Sports Medical CA$75.00
Employment / Pre-employment Medical CA$50.00–$100.00 (varies with complexity)
Insurance / Employer Forms CA$25.00 per page or $30.00–$50.00 per form
Photocopying / Transfer of Medical File CA$25.00–$50.00 (varies with file size)
Non-restricted prescription renewal without visit (1-month supply only; at physician discretion) CA$15.00
Letters / Notes (Work, School, Misc.) CA$30.00–$50.00
Third-party medical reports CA$50.00–$150.00+ depending on detail

Note: Exact fees depend on time, complexity, and clinic discretion. Patients will be notified before the service is performed. Prices subject to change; listed here for reference.

These fees fall within the Newfoundland & Labrador Medical Association’s recommended ranges for non-insured services (2018 guide) and are consistent with other NL clinics.

Missed Appointment / Late Cancellation Fees

To encourage respectful use of clinic time and improve access for all patients:

  • Missed appointment (standard visit): $30–$50

  • Missed appointment (procedure / extended visit): $50–$100

  • Less than 24 hours’ notice may result in a late-cancellation fee.

These fees are not covered by MCP.

Payment Methods

We accept:

  • Cash

  • Debit / Credit card

  • E-transfer

Receipts are provided upon request.

Uninsured service fees are not billed through the provincial health plan.

Fee Transparency

Patients will be informed of any uninsured service fees before the service is provided.
Posting this policy publicly does not replace individual discussion of fees when booking or at the time of service.

Exceptional Circumstances

The clinic may, at its discretion, waive or reduce a fee in circumstances such as:

  • Financial hardship

  • Compassionate reasons

  • Errors in communication or scheduling

Third-Party Billing

If an employer, insurer, or other third party requires forms or reports:

  • Patient is responsible for fees if the service is not insured by MCP.

  • Patients may be asked to pay at the time of service and seek reimbursement from the third party.
