Section 586
Disposition versions
Not in force
586. The holder of the authorization for the operation of a non-participating specialized medical centre must offer to persons who receive a surgery or other specialized medical treatment through the centre, either directly or from a person or a group other than an institution with which the authorization holder has entered into an agreement and to which the holder refers those persons, all the preoperative and postoperative services normally associated with the surgery or other specialized medical treatment, excluding any services associated with complications requiring hospitalization, and all the rehabilitation services and home care support services needed for complete recovery.
The authorization holder must inform any person wishing to receive a surgery or other specialized medical treatment through the centre that they must obtain those preoperative, postoperative, rehabilitation and home care support services through the centre or through a person or group other than an institution. The authorization holder must also inform them of the total foreseeable cost of the services they must obtain.
The obligations under the first and second paragraphs also apply to the holder of the authorization for the operation of a participating specialized medical centre with respect to specialized medical treatments provided within the centre that are non-insured or considered non-insured under the Health Insurance Act (chapter A-29).
The cost of medical services obtained from a person or group under the first or third paragraph may not be assumed by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec.
However, where a surgery or other specialized medical treatment is provided under an agreement referred to in section 521 or through a mechanism for accessing specialized services put in place under section 233, Santé Québec may allow the authorization holder to disregard the obligations under this section.
