Minor Procedures
Minor office procedures
A physician must assess the concern and decide whether it can be safely managed in the clinic. Some procedures require a separate appointment, preparation, supplies, or follow-up.
Availability depends on physician scope, equipment, appointment time, and clinical urgency.
Procedures may include
- Wart treatment with liquid nitrogen
- Minor laceration assessment and repair
- Suturing and suture removal
- Selected abscess assessment and drainage
- Minor wound care and dressing changes
- Removal of some foreign bodies
- Follow-up after a suitable office procedure
- Other procedures considered appropriate by the physician
MSP coverage and supplies
Medically necessary procedures are generally covered by MSP for eligible patients. Some supplies or uninsured services may have a private fee. The clinic will explain applicable charges before treatment when possible.
