请教有关看病体检的问题

[qiliuwin]

OHIP 在看病方面是免费的了。但拿药方面怎样，是否也是免费？ 那些药不免费，或自己付一定比例？ 我在渥太华还没有看过病，现在有些不舒服，想去医院检查一下，不知道是怎么联系医院？ 请给予指点。谢谢。

首先,并非所有的疾病诊断都是免费的(UNDER OHIP), 可以到安省的卫生部门或者联邦的卫生部门的网站查询,也可以给他们打电话索要关于OHIP 的免费的手册.下面是有关OHIP 的涵盖,是从安省的卫生部门网站上拷贝下来的:
What's Covered by OHIP?

OHIP covers a wide range of health services. A brief description of insured services follows below. For more details, please contact your nearest ministry office.
Services in Ontario

What services does my Ontario health coverage cover?
The ministry covers a wide range of health services; however, it does not pay for services that are not medically necessary, such as cosmetic surgery.
Physicians :
The ministry covers all insured medically necessary services provided by physicians. Physicians may bill you for uninsured services or if you miss an appointment or your health card is not valid. You may contact the ministry if you have questions about charges for uninsured services.
Other Health Care Providers :
Services provided by podiatrists are partially covered under OHIP. The ministry pays part while you must pay for the extra costs. You may need to pay the full or partial cost of services provided by other health care providers, such as physiotherapists. You may contact the ministry if you have questions about services provided by other health care providers.
Dental Services in Hospital :
The ministry pays for some dental surgery, when it is done in hospital. You must pay the cost of regular dental services in a dentist's office.
Eye Care :
An eye examination is covered by OHIP once a year for persons under 20 and those 65 and over. OHIP also covers a major eye exam once every 12 months for persons aged 20 - 64 who have medical conditions requiring regular eye examinations (refer to OHIP Bulletin 8089 or to Changes to OHIP Coverage for Eye Care Services).
Northern Health Travel Grant :
You may be eligible for a Northern Health Travel Grant to help pay transportation costs if you live in northern Ontario and must travel long distances for specialty medical care.
For more information on the Northern Health Travel Grant program, call 1 800 461-4006 (for service in English)
or 1 800 461-1149 (for service in French).
Services in Other Canadian Provinces and Territories
Most of your Ontario health coverage benefits can be used across Canada. The province or territory you are visiting will usually bill Ontario directly. If you have to pay for health services you receive in another part of Canada, you can submit your receipts to your local ministry office to be considered for reimbursement.
Prescription drugs from pharmacies, home care services, ambulance services and long-term care services provided in other provinces and territories are not covered.
Services Outside Canada
For people travelling outside Canada, the ministry pays a set rate for emergency health services. Emergency health services are those given in connection with an acute, unexpected condition, illness, disease or injury that arises outside Canada and requires immediate treatment. Ambulance services are not covered.
Ontario residents are encouraged to purchase supplementary insurance when traveling outside Canada as many emergency health services provided outside the country cost much more than OHIP may pay.

Call the ministry INFOline at 1-866-532-3161
(Toll-free in Ontario only)

Hours of operation : 8:30am - 5:00pm
这个连接是用事例说明什么是免费的,什么需要付费.

一般非处方药是自费的,处方药根据情况可能会免一部分,但是很少,一般是自费的.
找医生看病最好是能找到自己的家庭医生,不过目前特别难;第一次看病一般是去到诊所,比如APPLETREE. 然后那里的医生会根据你的具体病情给你推荐专门的专业医生. 如果你的病情较重,他们会给你联系专业的医院;如果是怀孕生孩子,他们会给你指定家庭医生.
因为这里的卫生体系比较复杂,医生有时也难说清楚,最好的办法是咨询卫生保健部门,他们会认真负责的告诉你准确的信息的.
希望上面的信息对你有用.

楼上说了很详细了，Ohip就是省里帮你把看病的钱都管了，牙啊，药啊，理疗啊之类的就自己来。

AppleTree个人也觉得是相当好用的诊所，是连锁店，可以到它网上去看每个分布的等候时间，找个短的去就是了。到了那里，吧ohip卡给前台，她会给你安排医生，等个半小时，会带你进去到医生那里去，你说哪里不舒服，他把你诊断了之后再送别的部门（一般都不在诊所了）， 比如拍片子，验血，然后过几天再回那个appletree看看结果就是了。
