This category includes telephone and technology based applications for scheduling a virtual consultation appointment with a doctor, nurse or other medical professionals. Services could include medical consultations, prescription filling and delivery, medical referrals and requisitions. These applications are not intended for urgent emergency needs. Depending on the service and provider, it may not be covered under your Provincial Health Plan. [Please note, currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans, therefore you may be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting. This means if an application is used or encrypted messaging, then it will not be covered under provincial insurance]
