My insurance company sends me a questionaire. What should I do?
Please be aware that many insurance companies send out questionnaires to confirm your hospital admission after they receive the hospital bill.  

If you receive a questionnaire from your insurance company please complete it right away and return it to the insurance company to ensure they process payment to the hospital, otherwise they may refuse payment. Should the insurance company refuse payment due to an incomplete questionnaire you will be financially responsible for the accommodation.

We will be pleased to assist you with the completion of the questionnaire. Please call (416) 340-4800 ext. 3060, indicate the name of your insurance company and you will be directed to an individual who can help.
