FAQs

We have several wheelchairs located near our main (North) entrance. These wheelchairs are subject to limited availability as such we ask that they are only used when needed and that they do not leave the premise. We also have an elevator to assist patients trying to reach the upper and lower levels of the clinic.

We do not give out the name of the physician working the walk-in beforehand.

Our Walk-in does not accept appointments at all and does not make use of the telephone to accept or register patients. This is to ensure that we can maintain a first come, first served order to the walk-in.

We prefer to keep our walk-in focused on acute and immediate issues. Because of this we will not do routine physical examinations in our walk-in.  Tasks such as Paperwork/forms, Travel injections and removal of stitches will be at the discretion of the practicing physician.

An Uninsured service is a service provided by the physician that is not covered under Manitoba Health.

Uninsured services must be paid at the time of the service is rendered. Forms completed by the physician will not be sent to the requesting company or released to the patient until the service has been paid for. At the Assiniboine Medical Clinic we accept Cash, Debit, Master Card, Visa and Cheque.

Unfortunately at this time, there is no cafeteria service. There are vending a machine available for patient use.

Physicians are paid in a system called “Fee-for-Service”. This means that they are paid piecemeal for each service rendered. They are not paid a salary. When they see a patient, do a procedure and/or fill out a form, an invoice is submitted to Manitoba Health. For an uninsured service, an invoice cannot be sent to Manitoba Health and, as such, it is then the responsibility of the patient to pay.
