Regular visits to Doctor will not be covered. They have walk-in clinics that cost about $100 per visit. Let me know if you can find any cheaper alternatives for non-emergency doctor visits. Also share you thought on your choices.
Do not go to a commercial walk-in clinic if you have other options. They tend to be money mills. I used to go to one and they had their price list at the front desk, everything costs $100. I needed an insurance form filled out, $100. A friend of mine had a doctor that did it for him for free. They also milk the provincial insurance by making you come back for countless unneccessary visits. I needed a copy of something from my file, I was willing to pay the cost for the copy but I could not get it without seeing a doctor so I had to wait 45 minutes for the doctor to say ok, you can get this copy. For that they charge the provincial health care system $80 because they can call it a doctors visit.
Instead try to find a smaller walk-in or just a regular doctor who is taking new patients. You will still have to pay but they may be a lot more reasonable with their prices. I had one in Toronto before I got OHIP, a walk-in but a small one with only one doctor. He would sometimes charge me nothing and sometimes $5 or something.
