Student Health Services is fortunate to have mental health nurses (MHN) from September to May. The MHN sees students in our Harrison Hall office and the Campus Pharmacy site. They work closely with other health care providers in Brock as well as in the community.

Appointments can be booked with the mental health nurse by calling 905 688 5550  x3243 or by stopping by the Harrison Hall office. If you are on the Hamilton campus you can still access the MHN by calling the above number.

Karen Millar, our registered massage therapist, offers both 30 and 60 minute appointments.

Fees

$65* — 60 minute appointment
$45* — 30 minute appointment

Appointments can be booked with the RMT by calling 905 688 5550  x3243 or by stopping by the Harrison Hall office.

In most cases a referral from a physician is necessary in order to get reimbursement from an insurance company.  If your insurance company doesn’t already have a referral on file, it is advisable to book an appointment with a physician prior to your massage to get the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

*Payment is due at time of service. Cash or cheque only.

Third Party Physicals and/or Forms

It is illegal for a physician to bill OHIP for any medical exam, procedure or decision, which it initiated to fulfill the requirements of a third party.  Therefore, these costs must be charged to the patient or to the requesting agency.  Examples of third party requests are driver exams, employment physicals, etc.

Please note that:

• Third party physicals and the associated forms or communication with the requesting agency will be $100.
• Other forms which are requested by a third party will be billed individually based on the complexity of the examination required and the form.

Be prepared to pay the total cost at the time of service by cash or cheque only.

Travel Medicine

It is illegal for doctors to bill OHIP for any advice given, physical exams done, or prescriptions written that relate to travel outside of Canada for any purpose.  Therefore, the individual patient is responsible for any charges for these exams, prescriptions and/or advice.  Our fees reflect the complexity of pre-travel consultations to various countries. If the doctor is required to fill in a form or make a written statement concerning his/her findings, there will be an extra charge.

Once you have seen the doctor, you will be responsible for paying the fee even if you do not like the advice given, decide not to travel after all, or do not fill the prescription(s).  We want all students to have happy and safe vacations or student abroad trips and encourage you to read all information given to you by Student Health Services.
