PSA TESTS
Effective January 1, 2009 the Ontario Government – Ministry of Health
& Long Term Care division made the following statement:
“Effective January 1, 2009, the Prostate Specific Antigen - PSA (Free
and Total) ordered for diagnosing or monitoring purposes in the commu-
nity laboratory is an insured service, as follows:
When a man has been diagnosed with, or is receiving treatment for, or
is being followed after treatment for prostate cancer, the PSA test is
available at no charge to the patient at a community laboratory (covered
by OHIP) and will continue to be available at no charge to the patient at
a hospital laboratory (covered through the hospital’s global budget).
When a health care practitioner suspects prostate cancer because of a
man’s history, race and/or the results of his physical examination (includ-
ing digital rectal examination), PSA testing is available at no charge to
the patient at a community laboratory (covered by OHIP) and will contin-
ue to be available at no charge to the patient at a hospital laboratory
(covered through the hospital’s global budget). A man’s history means
he is at increased risk for prostate cancer due to family history (one or
two first degree relatives, such as father or brother).
In men without symptoms (screening), PSA testing continues NOT to be
paid for by the provincial health plan nor through a hospital’s global bud-
get. Men without symptoms means men without suspicious findings on
physical examination or not at increased risk because of history. A man
can have the PSA screening test if he is willing to pay for the test him-
self. However, it is hoped he will make this decision only after discus-
sion with his doctor.
NOTE: PSA screening tests continue to NOT be an OHIP-insured
service nor covered through hospital global budgets and the patient
will be responsible for payment to the laboratory service provider.
Hospital-based PSA testing for diagnosing or monitoring purposes
will continue to be covered through hospitals’ global budgets, as
per the above eligibility criteria.

When you are coming to the Emergency Department or are being admit-
ted to the hospital, please bring all your medications with you, both pre-
scription and over the counter remedies. This will help us to know
exactly what medications you are taking and will improve our ability to
provide the best possible safe care.

UCW met at the home of Sheila
Nixon on Tuesday, Jan. 6 with the
theme of New Beginnings.
Muriel Coultes led in worship on
Twelfth Night. She opened with the
call to worship, prayer and a hymn.
Barbara Anderson read Matthew 2:
1-12.
The meditation was on the
journey of the Magi to see the Baby
Jesus and why Jan. 6 is called
Epiphany. Epiphany is an important
time to consider how church groups
and congregations reach out to the
whole world. She told of some
customs other faiths celebrate on
Old Christmas Day.
Epiphany challenges all to reach
out to people of different races,
different cultures and different
faiths.
During the business members

minister. All members of the

Sheila Nixon was in charge of the
program. She drew everyone’s
attention several articles in the latest
Observer, which described the ways
those churches had decided to meet.
She also showed a video,
Reinventing Your Life, by Patsy
Clairmont. The group discussed
