Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
Going back to work in Charlottetown
Island appointment availability means waiting to be seen in person can hold up a return to work. When your employer asks for a fitness for work note after an illness or injury, you can book a full assessment by video or phone instead. The provider looks at how you are recovering and what your job needs from you.
A return to work certificate is not the same as a regular doctor's note. A note explains why you were away. The certificate confirms you are fit to go back, gives your return date and, when needed, lists temporary limits on your duties, such as lighter work or shorter shifts.
- After a longer illness or an injury
- After surgery or a hospital stay
- Before going back to safety-sensitive work, such as driving, operating equipment or heavy lifting
- When your employer or benefits plan sends its own fitness for work form
How the assessment works from Charlottetown
Clearing someone to return to work is a medical decision, so it always starts with a full visit. Nothing is signed before the provider has talked with you.
- Step 1: Book a visit online and choose "Return to Work Certificate".
- Step 2: Meet the provider by secure video or phone. They review your illness or injury, your recovery and your job duties.
- Step 3: The provider decides whether you are fit to return, and whether any restrictions are needed.
- Step 4: If you are approved, we email you a secure link to pay the $60 certificate fee.
- Step 5: Once it is paid, your signed certificate is emailed to you.
What it costs in Charlottetown
There are two separate charges, and you only pay the second one if you are cleared. The assessment visit is billed like a regular TelePlus Care appointment.
- Assessment visit: $80.
- Return to work certificate: $60, charged only if the provider approves your return to work.
- Not approved: no certificate fee. The provider explains why and what to do next.
If you are not cleared yet, or need to be seen in person near Charlottetown
Sometimes it is too early to go back, or the provider needs more information first, such as a specialist report, test results or an in-person exam. In that case you are not charged the $60 certificate fee, and the provider explains the next step. That may be more time off, a follow-up visit, or seeing a doctor in person.
If you need to be seen in person, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital serves Charlottetown and Queens County. For anything life-threatening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department, and call 811 for free nurse advice if you are unsure where to go.
- Call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke or heavy bleeding
- Online visits are not for emergencies or for injuries that need a hands-on exam
What to have ready for your visit
Having these ready helps the provider make a decision in one visit.
- The reason you were off work and when it started
- Any hospital, specialist or test reports you have
- A short description of your job duties, especially physical or safety-sensitive tasks
- Your employer's form, if they gave you one
