How to use clinics and hospitals and the health insurance system

When you go to a hospital, bring cash and your health insurance card with valid expiration date or its replacement (such as a certificate of eligibility or My Number card with insurance card). If you are unsure, please ask someone around you to help you.Things to bring if you have them: Any medications you have been taking, past test results, medical certificates, etc.
• You will also often need to show proof of your identity (residence card, etc. or passport), so be sure to bring it too.
• If you do not have your health insurance card or you are not enrolled in health insurance, you will have to pay the full amount.
