Medical Forms - Patient Guide

To ensure that your medical forms are completed accurately and in a timely manner, Greenwood Medical Centre follows a specific intake process.  Please review the following steps and requirements.

1. What We Need From You

To avoid delays, please provide the following at the time of your request:

• The Original Blank Form: A clean copy for the doctor to complete. Ensure that the patient portion is filled out and signed if applicable. Also please write your name in any space that requires this (often top of page).

• A "Mock" Copy: A separate copy filled out by you to the best of your ability from the perspective of the doctor. This provides the doctor with the necessary context and ensures nothing is missed. Be sure to include the injury or illness with relevant dates, the symptoms it causes and what you are currently struggling with in terms of function.

2. Clinical Review & Appointments

Once submitted, your doctor or nurse will review the form.

• Is an appointment needed?  Some forms require a physical exam or a discussion to be completed accurately. We will contact you if an appointment or further imaging/testing is required.

• Processing Time: Forms are processed in the order they are received. We aim to complete them within 60 days but can take up to 120 days.

3. Fees & Payment

Most medical forms are uninsured services, meaning they are not covered by OHIP.

• Payment is required from the patient or insurance company before the form is released. * Standard Fees: Depending on complexity, fees typically range from $30 to $400+ (based on OMA suggested rates).

• Rush Requests: Some physicians may offer a "Rush Fee" for urgent turnaround, though this is subject to availability and is not guaranteed.

Payment Options:

• In-Office: We accept Chase debit/credit card payments or cheques.

• By Phone: We accept credit cards only

4. Receiving Your Completed Form

Once your form is finalized and payment is confirmed, we will deliver it to you via fax directly to the requesting third party (e.g. insurance or employer) or to you via Pomelo.
