TelePlus Care
Online Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Calgary
A weight change can have many causes, and choosing a medication should start with a medical assessment. TelePlus Care connects Calgary patients with a Canadian-licensed doctor by secure phone or video to review health history, goals, current medicines, and possible next steps. The Weight Loss Online visit is covered by Alberta Health with an active Alberta Health Card and a referral from your family doctor or nurse practitioner, or $149 as a private visit without a referral; medication and pharmacy costs are separate.

Quick Answer
TelePlus Care offers online medical weight-loss assessments for adults in Calgary and nearby Alberta communities. A Canadian-licensed doctor reviews your history, goals, medicines, and health risks before discussing lifestyle support, investigations, prescription options, or referral. The medical visit is covered by Alberta Health with a referral and an active Alberta Health Card, or $149 as a private visit; a medication is never guaranteed.
- The Weight Loss Online medical visit is covered by Alberta Health with an active Alberta Health Card and a referral from your family doctor or nurse practitioner, or $149 as a private visit without a referral.
- A first appointment is an assessment, not an automatic GLP-1 or other prescription.
- The clinician considers health history, current medicines, weight-related concerns, goals, and treatment risks before recommending next steps.
- Medication, dispensing, pharmacy, and follow-up costs are separate from the medical visit when applicable.

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.
Online Medical Weight-Loss Assessment in Calgary
Weight changes may be connected to sleep, stress, medications, metabolic health, mobility, eating patterns, or another medical condition. TelePlus Care starts with your story instead of a one-size-fits-all product. Patients in the Beltline, Mission, Kensington, Bridgeland, Seton, Tuscany, and surrounding Calgary communities can begin with a secure virtual assessment.
- Discuss what you have tried, what changed, and what you want to improve
- Review relevant conditions such as blood-pressure, blood-sugar, sleep, mobility, or menstrual concerns
- Share prescriptions, supplements, allergies, and any recent results
- Learn whether virtual care is suitable and what should happen next
How the Calgary Online Weight-Loss Clinic Works
Book Weight Loss Online, complete the confidential intake, and meet your TelePlus Care doctor by phone or secure video. The intake gives the doctor context but does not replace the consultation. If a physical measurement, investigation, or in-person service is needed, the clinician will explain that clearly.
- Choose an available appointment in the Weight Loss Online booking form
- Complete questions about health history, medicines, allergies, weight changes, and goals
- Meet a Canadian-licensed doctor for an individual assessment
- Receive a plan for follow-up, testing, lifestyle support, medication discussion, or referral
Medication Options After Clinical Review
Prescription weight-management medication may be appropriate for some patients and not for others. Your doctor considers your medical history, current medicines, contraindications, pregnancy plans, likely benefits, side effects, affordability, and availability before discussing a prescription. A requested brand is never guaranteed, and TelePlus Care does not dispense medication.
- Discuss whether medication is appropriate for your health and goals
- Review expected benefits, common side effects, precautions, and monitoring
- Use your preferred Calgary pharmacy when a prescription is clinically appropriate
- Ask your pharmacist about supply, dispensing, and drug-plan requirements
Bloodwork and Health Information for Weight Management
Not everyone needs the same investigations. Based on your symptoms and history, the doctor may recommend measurements or bloodwork to understand blood sugar, thyroid function, cholesterol, liver health, or another concern. Follow the specific instructions provided after your visit rather than ordering a fixed panel independently.
- Bring recent laboratory reports with the collection date and reference ranges
- Tell the doctor about illness, disrupted sleep, shift work, or medicines that may affect results
- Complete only the tests recommended for your situation
- Testing supports a clinical decision; it does not guarantee medication
Follow-Up for Sustainable Calgary Weight Management
Weight management is usually an ongoing process rather than a one-time prescription. Follow-up lets the clinician review progress, side effects, access, changing goals, and whether another service is needed. Lifestyle support, treatment of related conditions, medication, or referral may all be part of an appropriate plan.
- Review how the agreed plan is working and what feels realistic
- Discuss side effects or new symptoms before changing medication
- Update the plan when a treatment is unavailable, unaffordable, or not tolerated
- Arrange appropriate testing or in-person care when complexity requires it
Weight-Loss Visit Cost: Referral or Private Visit
Weight Loss Online visits with Dr. Jerudi are covered by Alberta Health for Calgary patients with an active Alberta Health Card and a referral from their family doctor or nurse practitioner. Without a referral, you can book directly as a private visit: $149 for the initial assessment and $99 for each follow-up. The booking form asks about your health card and referral and shows the correct fee before the visit. Medication, dispensing, pharmacy, and follow-up costs are separate.
- Active Alberta Health Card + referral: covered by Alberta Health
- No referral: $149 private initial assessment, $99 follow-ups
- Medication and pharmacy costs depend on the prescribed product and your coverage
- Book from Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, or another eligible Alberta community
When Calgary Patients Need In-Person Care
Virtual care is useful for many non-urgent questions, but it is not right for every concern. The TelePlus Care doctor may recommend your family doctor, an in-person clinic, a specialist, or urgent care when an examination or more complex assessment is needed. Call 911 for an emergency.
- Seek urgent help for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, fainting, confusion, or sudden weakness
- Get prompt in-person care for persistent vomiting, severe dehydration, or rapidly worsening symptoms
- Discuss pregnancy, eating-disorder concerns, complex diabetes, or significant medication reactions openly
- Follow local emergency and Alberta Health Link guidance when a routine online visit is not enough
Book an Online Medical Weight-Loss Appointment in Calgary
Start with a TelePlus Care assessment if you want a clear medical plan rather than a promise tied to one medication. Choose Weight Loss Online, complete the secure intake, and select an available appointment. The fee is shown before payment, and the doctor will explain the safest next step for your health.
