FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions!

WHY USE A PRIVATE CLINIC FOR MY BLOOD TEST IF I CAN GO TO A PUBLIC ESTABLISHMENT AND RECEIVE THE SAME CARE FOR FREE?

A private clinic like Medfuture allows you to get an appointment for your blood tests quickly and at a generally more flexible schedule. At Medfuture, we offer you the possibility of receiving the service at home or at our clinic in Mirabel, at your convenience.

For the home blood test service, a Medfuture nurse can come to your home or office, five days a week, starting at 4 a.m. You will particularly appreciate this service if you have reduced mobility, work and require an appointment very early in the morning, need samples taken for your young child and prefer to keep them at home, etc.

Although our services are not free, they are largely covered by most private insurance policies. Find out!

I'M IN A RUSH, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAY TOO MUCH. IS IT MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO GO TO YOUR MIRABEL CLINIC RATHER THAN HAVING A NURSE COME TO HOME?

If you live in the greater Montreal metropolitan area, Medfuture's home services will not cost you more than if you come to our clinic in Mirabel. Call us for more details: 514-378-7000 or request a quote online via https://medfuture.ca/pages/demande-de-soumission

IS A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION NECESSARY FOR ALL MEDFUTURE SERVICES?

According to section 136 of the Public Health Protection Act, all laboratory analyzes require a medical prescription. For example, a medical prescription is required for pregnancy tests, blood type, toxicological profile (drug testing), allergy tests, etc. Note that there is no expiration date on this type of doctor's prescription.

DO I HAVE TO PRESENT MY HEALTH INSURANCE CARD WHEN PROVIDING YOUR SERVICES?

No. As a private clinic, we cannot make a request to the Ministry of Health and Social Services to obtain reimbursement for services rendered. This would amount to double billing. However, your health insurance number is necessary for your results to be added to your medical record and for this reason, it is preferable to provide it.

DO I HAVE TO PAY A FEE TO OPEN MY FILE?

No. No fees will be required for opening your file.

HOW CAN I ENSURE THE QUALITY OF CARE PROVIDED BY MEDFUTURE STAFF?

All Medfuture healthcare professionals are members of a professional order, either the Order of Nurses of Quebec or the Order of Auxiliary Nurses of Quebec. On request, we will give you the name of the person who will come to your home. It is possible to verify the right to practice of these professionals by consulting one of these sites:
