TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic, so visits are not billed to Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) — you pay a flat visit fee and there is no wait-list or referral needed.

Choose from the current TelePlus Care appointment times shown in the booking form — no roster, referral, or wait-list is required.

In Ontario, pharmacists cannot independently prescribe ongoing hormonal contraception; a prescription must come from an authorized prescriber such as a physician or nurse practitioner (the pharmacist minor-ailments scope covers many other conditions, but not birth control). Ontario has no universal free-contraception program for all ages, though prescription contraception is covered for residents aged 24 and under who lack a private drug plan, through OHIP+ under the Ontario Drug Benefit program.
