Typical online sick-note prices in Canada
As a rough August 2026 guide, expect about $45–$95 for many private online visits. Rocket Doctor may have $0 funded options for eligible Ontario patients when available; paid access is often estimated around $50–$75. Maple can vary by membership and visit type, often around $50–$95. Medinote is commonly advertised around $45–$60. These are estimates only—check the final price before payment.
What can make the price higher?
A longer appointment, an employer or insurer form, a rush request, a follow-up, or a membership can change the cost. Some services also show different prices based on whether you have a provincial health card. Ask what is included before you enter payment details.
- Private versus publicly funded appointment
- Membership or subscription fee
- Extra medical or insurance forms
- Follow-up or extended absence documentation
TelePlus Care's outside-Alberta price
TelePlus Care lists a $45 outside-Alberta fee for the online doctor's-note assessment. The doctor still needs to review your symptoms and absence dates, and a note is provided only when clinically appropriate. The price is not a promise that a note will be issued.
Can you get a sick note without paying?
You may find a publicly funded virtual appointment if you meet the program's eligibility rules and an appointment is available. Ontario's ESA-protected sick days may also mean you do not need a note for certain absences. Check your employer's policy before paying for documentation.
Questions patients ask
Are the price ranges exact?
No. They are estimates for comparison and may change by provider, province, eligibility, appointment type, and date. Confirm the final price on the provider's checkout page.
Is a cheaper service better?
Not necessarily. Check clinician licensing, assessment format, delivery time, privacy practices, and whether your employer or school accepts the document.
Does paying guarantee a sick note?
No. Payment covers the clinical assessment. The doctor decides whether a note is medically appropriate.
