What Medical Clinic Services are Covered/Free? Under Canada's universal healthcare system, basic necessary medical services are covered when you present your valid health card. While walk-ins are generally free, you might be charged a fee if you don't live in that province or territory.

Anyone who doesn't have a family doctor can always go to a walk-in clinic for non-urgent care. At a walk-in clinic, you register when you arrive and you'll see the first doctor with an available appointment time. If the clinic is busy, you may have to wait.

Instead of having to book diagnostic tests or scans at a later date and make multiple trips into hospital, they can access a range of services within one location and often within a single visit.

Walk in centres The urgent care centre in Scarborough is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is situated in the Accident & Emergency Department of Scarborough Hospital. The GP Access centre in Bridlington is open from 7am to 11pm, 365 days a year.
