Payment options
Aquilon Foot Clinic accepts cash, visa, MasterCard, and debit. Sorry, we do not accept personal cheques.
Some third-party insurance companies such as private plans, Veteran’s Affairs, NIHB and WSIB may help cover part of your visit costs as OHIP does not cover your visits. Our staff will gladly help you with your insurance questions as needed. Some but not all plans may offer assignment of benefits.
Our fees are determined by the Ontario Society of Chiropodists and the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine.
Payment is due when service is rendered.
