The Periodic Health Visit is for otherwise healthy patients, to discuss a specific preventative health issue like screening for cancer, diet/nutrition, and other specific preventative health issues. The visit is meant to provide an assessment of a patient based on their individual risk profile and to allow time to discuss prevention of health issues. An age and gender appropriate history and physical is included as part of this visit. Patients are eligible for one Periodic Health Visit per 12 month period.
***A Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment is not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). As of November 2012, the Ontario Medical Association and the Ontario Government reached an agreement to modify and no longer cover the “annual physical“ examination unless deemed appropriate by the patients physician based on the patients’ medical comorbidities and age. OHIP has replaced the “annual physicals” with what they now call “The Periodic Health Visit”.

Our Doctor’s at 1Clinic strive to provide each patient with the best medical care. We as a team strongly believe that by keeping up to date with preventative screenings our patients can be more in tune with their health and we are able to discover any underlying health issues that regular screenings may not catch. For this reason we provide offer our patient’s the option of a full head-to-toe exam with a fee charged directly to the patient. These assessments are highly encouraged for patients on a yearly basis.
