Immediate Surgery For Canadians

The cost of private surgery varies depending on the procedure, location, and surgeon. While provincial health insurance does not typically cover private surgery, some extended health insurance plans or employer benefits may offer partial coverage. Financing options may also be available to help manage costs.

Public surgery wait times in Canada range from weeks for urgent cases to over a year for elective procedures like hip and knee replacements. Private surgery through RCM Health's international network can often be scheduled within 1-4 weeks. Emergency or urgent cases may be accommodated even faster, sometimes within days of initial consultation. For example, while a knee replacement might have a 6-12 month wait in the public system, we can arrange the same procedure with world-class surgeons within 2-4 weeks.
