Understanding Canadian Health System Alternatives
By Staff Reporters
In 2003, Timely Medical Alternatives Inc. was formed to help Canadians, on long medical waiting lists, to take personal responsibility for their own medical care and “Leave the queue” [the national healthcare system waiting-list].
Urgent Need
According to their website, the need for private medical services is thriving in Canada. The mission of Timely Medical Alternatives [TMA] is to accommodate Canadian’s needs for private medical services by providing them with options, referrals to hospitals, clinics and diagnostic imaging facilities.

Assessment
Timely Medical Alternatives, a PPO, says it is able to expedite most types of private medical services from diagnostics to virtually all types of surgery, including procedures not available within the Canadian healthcare system. Wait times for clients are measured in days rather than in months or years.
