Room Costs
Provincial health insurance covers standard ward accommodations only. If you request and receive a semi-private or private room, you must make payment arrangements before you are admitted. If you do not have supplementary insurance coverage and request a semi-private or private room, we will ask you to pay by cash, cheque, Visa or MasterCard. We recommend you check with your insurance company because you must pay for any portion not paid by your insurance provider.
