You qualify when someone else requested the scan, or when the exam itself is not an OHIP MRI. Paying to cut the public line for a medically necessary scan is not a path we can take.
Ilumina coordinates eligible private and third-party imaging. We are not a hospital and not your treating physician. This page is information, not medical advice.
Someone else requested it — or the exam is not an OHIP MRI. If a company (one you do not own), an insurer, or counsel is paying, say so here. Having a job or a benefits card is not enough.
| Path | You qualify when | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Third-party / employer | Someone else asked for the scan or a report about you — work, sport, school, insurance, or a legal file. They request it. Gift-pay, or an MRI so a clinician or physiotherapist can treat you, is not this path. | The third party that requested it |
| 2. Auto insurance | You were in a car accident. A slip-and-fall with no vehicle is not this path. | The auto insurer (sometimes through counsel) |
| 3. WSIB | You were hurt at work. | WSIB |
| 4. Screening | You have no symptoms and want a look for unsuspected disease. If you have symptoms, this is not screening. | You (or a wellness plan) |
| 5. Other exams OHIP does not cover | This exact exam is not an OHIP-insured MRI. We confirm the current rule on your file. | You, or whoever agreed to fund that exam |
| 6. Not an Ontario resident | You do not live in Ontario. If you live here and have OHIP, this is not your path. | You (or your home insurer or employer) |
| Does not qualify | The MRI is medically necessary and you only want to pay to go sooner. | Nobody through Ilumina |
If the MRI is medically necessary and you only want to pay to go sooner, we cannot take that booking. Please speak with your clinician about a public MRI. Ilumina arranges private imaging. We confirm your date once it is booked. Ilumina does not affect OHIP wait lists.

Having a job, owning a company, or a slip-and-fall with no vehicle does not by itself qualify you.
For yourself or someone you care for. How it is paid is the six paths. Auto is the insurer, or a lawyer arranging the file.
Their own path from the first question. File reference (optional) and who we bill. Then the study.
