On occasion patients are required to travel
to out of town locations to obtain specialist and
outpatient medical services. Patients are often
accompanied by one or more family members who provide
support and comfort to the patient. Patients and their
family members may not have a friend or relative with whom
they can stay and must stay at a commercial property.
The listed
properties offer accommodation at discounted rates to patients and
their families who are required to travel to out of town
locations to access non-emergency care.
Discounted room rates are subject to availability and at
the option of a property.
To
book accommodation:
-
Call
listed property to confirm rate and availability.
-
Inquire
about proof of medical necessity, if required.
Please note:
this listing is made available as a courtesy to patients
and their families. The
Ministry of Health, the provincial health authorities, and
Purchasing Services Branch will not recommend a property
to a patient or their family, and there is no obligation
on the part of a patient or patient’s family to stay at a
listed property.
Properties are paid directly
by the patient or family member and billing arrangements
are made between the patient or their family and the
property, subject to the property’s usual payment terms.
