Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Payments made at a Northern Health site may take a few days to be posted to your account. If you are unsure if we have received payment, contact our office at 250-565-2486.
If you received an invoice from Northern Health it is because you received health care services at one of our facilities that was not covered by health insurance and/or not paid for at the time of service. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you are not automatically registered for public health insurance and public health insurance does not cover all services.
Please contact your province or territory’s insurance plan to apply and for details on what each province covers. In British Columbia, public health insurance is called the Medical Services Plan (MSP). If you believe you received an invoice in error, please contact our office at 250-565-2486.
