TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic, so visits are not billed to Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) — you pay a flat visit fee and there is no wait-list or referral needed. Our doctors are licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) to care for patients in Alberta. For publicly insured, non-urgent advice you can also call Health Link (811).

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

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Alberta, including Fort McMurray, Fort Saskatchewan, Grande Prairie, Hay Lakes, and High River, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
