FAQ
Is OHIP covered?
Standard lipid panels are OHIP-covered with clinical indication. Advanced markers (ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, NTproBNP) may be self-pay. Your NP will maximize OHIP coverage where possible.
What is Lp(a) and why does it matter?
Lp(a) is a genetic lipid particle that significantly increases cardiovascular risk independent of LDL. It should be tested once in a lifetime — there is currently no medication to lower it effectively, but knowing your level guides risk management.
Do I need to fast?
Yes. Fasting 10–12 hours is required for accurate lipid and glucose results.
What if my risk is high?
Your NP will provide a comprehensive risk assessment and may recommend statin initiation, lifestyle changes, or referral to a cardiologist depending on your Framingham or PCE risk score.
