Choose Your Room Type
If you are admitted to Sault Area Hospital, you can request your preference of 3 room types. During admission or pre-admission, you will be asked about your room preference, sign a request form and provide your insurance information, if available.
Ward (3 or more beds)
No charge with OHIP Coverage
Semi-Private (2 beds)
$230/day
Private (1 bed)
$280/day
We try to accommodate all requests, but rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. We may also need to change your room during your stay due to medical or infection control needs.
If you stay in a room that is different from the type of room you requested, you or your insurance company will only be billed for the type of room you actually stay in (or the type of room you requested, whichever is less), for example:
- You requested a private room and one was available. You will be billed $280/day for your private room.
- You request a Ward room but only Semi-Private is available. You will be given the Semi-Private room and no additional charges will be billed.
- You request a Semi-Private room but only Private is available. You will be given the Private room for the $230/day Semi-Private rate
- You request a Semi-Private room but only Ward rooms are available. The $230/day Semi-Private rate is waived and no charges will be billed.
- You request a Private room but only Semi-Private are available. You are assigned a Semi-Private room and will be billed $230/day Semi-Private rate instead of the $280/day Private Rate.
If you have a planned stay, please confirm your room coverage with your insurance company or employer to find out if you have Extended Health coverage for Preferred Accommodation and bring your insurance information with you.
If we have your insurance information we will bill your insurance company directly and you are responsible for any balance your insurance company does not pay.
