FREE VIRTUAL MEDICINE - PAID FOR BY THE PROVINCIAL HEALTH SYSTEM
We have seen several provinces (including Ontario) trialling programs for publicly funded options.
During these unique and challenging times, these programs are a way to reach out and get assistance without leaving home.
Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia will cover anyone with a valid Health Card.
Tia Health allows you to connect to a Canadian doctor online via a phone or secure messaging. Get prescriptions, medical advice, referrals, requisitions, mental health, and more.
HOW YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT YOUR EMPLOYEES MENTAL HEALTH
As the COVID-19 situation grows more complicated around the globe and here at home, we recognize that there is increased risk, not just your physical health but also your mental health. If you or your employees are feeling heightened stress and anxiety, there are things you can do for your mental wellbeing, even if the situation around you feels out of your control.
We are pleased to introduce a new benefit delivered through Inkblot, a Canadian provider of video counselling delivered on a secure and encrypted platform. Access is on-line with the ability to select from a short-list of best-matched counsellors based on your unique needs and preferences. Appointments are booked directly on-line with your selected counsellor with the first 30-minute session free and booked at your convenience as early as the same or next day.
More information is available here.
The Inkblot platform is being offered on a no-fee basis until June 30, 2020.
