I don’t have my MSI card with me, can I still receive treatment?

The Province of Nova Scotia requires a valid MSI Card in order to receive medical care. Please ensure that your card is with you and up-to-date when you arrive for your appointment. Without your card, or if you are a Quebec resident, you can pay the standard medical fee up-front. Quebec residents will be reimbursed by their provincial government.
