192$ for a Cat1 medical! Is that the going rate these days?

Post by I WAS Birddog »

Over the last 4 years my medical bill has gone up 10$ a year...

My MOT office has its annual medicals with ECG at now 192$ :?

Please share what the rates you folks are paying AND what office.

Also, is it normal my Dr. films me doing his instructed yoga positions naked with a layer of body oil? He says it's for "the files". :wink:

Good thing I pay the tab AFTER my ECG test :smt104

Dr. Fogal gives you a stamped chit for the parking lot attendant at the rear of the building. I think if you can get in and out in 30-40 minutes it is free.

Seems to me that the Doc needs to cover practice scosts, and those costs will vary depending on where you are. Rent is not the same in Timbuktu as it is in ''the centre of canada'' LOL!

Here in YUL, varies according to the MD. Practice in the basement, ECG included, about 160. Highest is 300 or 350, can't remember now, and he only gets patients with gold plated working conditions.

About 200 with ECG included for my DOC. He has a good reputation with TC.

Dr. Gilmore in Toronto charges me $130. Usually $260 total since he does my FAA too. Company pays so I don't care but I go back to him every year from out west because he's great.
