Notice of Non Registration With the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ)
Given the recent legislative reforms imposed by the Minister of Health, it will be difficult to continue offering the various urological services in the office in such a context. So it is with regret that we inform you that starting September 5 2017, Dr. Carlos Marois will be a urologist who no longer is registered with the RAMQ. In addition, he will no longer be affiliated with the Verdun hospital. As such, he will not be able to claim the payment of the RAMQ for his fees.
This means that when you will have recourse to his professional services, you will have to pay him directly the cost of the services he will provide you. If this is the case, you should be aware that you will not be able to request or obtain from the RAMQ, the reimbursement of the cost of the services you have paid.
For patients who wish to continue with another urologist registered in the RAMQ: you can request a copy of your medical file at no cost as well as a reference to see another urologist. In addition, your prescriptions will be renewed until March 5, 2018.
For patients who wish to continue with Dr. Marois: the price of a follow-‐up visit will be $ 150 and will include, if necessary, a urinary flowmetry test. However, until March 4 2018, the price will be maintained at $ 100 for patients who have already taken an annual follow-‐up appointment for benign prostatic hypertrophy.
The services offered at the offices in Verdun and Greenfield Park, as well as in Quebec will be:
- New consultations
- Follow-‐up appointments
- Diagnostic tests (e.g. cystoscopy, prostate ultrasound, etc.)
- Minor surgeries (e.g. vasectomy, circumcision, cutaneous excision of scrotal lesions)
The services offered only at the office in Verdun will be:
- Minor surgeries requiring special equipment (vasovasostomy, cure of hydrocele)
The services offered only at the Centre Métropolitain de Chirurgie will be:
- Surgery in a private operating room with general and spinal anaesthesia
- TURP, urethropexy TOT, flexible and rigid ureteroscopy and penile prosthesis
For more information, please visit our website or contact Dr. Marois Private Urologist’s Clinic.
Thank you for your understanding and loyalty!

Dr. Marois is a urologist who is not a member of the Régie de l’Assurance Maladie du Québec (RAMQ). As such, if you require his professional services, you will have to pay directly the Cliniques Marois for the services rendered.

To ensure the smooth running of the clinics aa well as a minimum of courtesy towards other patients and staff members, we ask you to notify us 48 hours in advance for cancelling an appointment, 5 working days for cancelling a minor surgery in the office and 21 working days for major surgery at the CMC. If these deadlines are not respected, a cancellation fee of 50% of the service will be charged.
Change of appointment:
We understand that events occur and schedules change, so we ask patients to give us at least a 24-hour notice for any changes of appointment. We will be happy to reschedule another one for you. Failure to provide such notice within this timeframe will result in a $ 100 fee.
Thank you for your understanding.
