Provincial health insurance plans- Canada Health Act. Dear bird talk, I believe the provincial health insurance plans should be prepared to provide cost protection for medical services outside the home province up to what is assessed as the cost to provide the service within the province. this would significantly reduce the cost of insurance from […]

Dear Bird Talk, Your J. Ross Quigley expounded in the fall issue of your CSANews that “our strategy to confront aggressive billing departments, combined with Medipac’s reputation for paying our claims, has proven very successful.” We were involved in a rather unfortunate car accident on December 31, 2010 at KeyWest, FL, but we can confirm […]
