NOTICE OF NON-PARTICIPATION

To insured persons under health insurance plan

I notify you that I am a professional non-participating in the Health Insurance Plan. As such, I may not claim payment of my fees from the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec.

If you have recourse to my professional services, you must therefore pay me directly the cost of insured services I will dispense to you.

You may neither demand or obtain from the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec the reimbursement of the cost of insured services which you will have paid to me.

This notice is given to you in accordance with the Health Insurance Act (chapter A-29) and the regulations.
