FAQ's
What do I need for a successful virtual telehealth consultation?
Provide our telehealth clinic with your basic information, like your address and healthcare card number, and the appointment time that works for you. Come prepared with your medical history and list of medications and write down any questions you’d like to ask your telehealth doctor.
How can I access my telehealth virtual care?
WalkInVirtualClinic’s secure platform is available over phone with iOS or Android, desktop or laptop computer, or tablet. Be sure your device is running the latest operating system and you’ve updated your web browser for best results.
Does British Columbia cover telehealth?
Currently, basic telehealth virtual care is covered by BC’S MSP program. You must be a valid program member without an expired card. There may be extra fees for virtual healthcare services for doctors’ notes, prescriptions, and other necessary medical services not covered by your province. Consult with your provincial healthcare provider to be sure.
Does telehealth virtual care protect my data?
WalkInVirtualClinics follows all Canadian laws concerned data protection and confidential healthcare information. Our medical telehealth is safe and secure thanks to our proprietary virtual telehealth care delivery systems.
Can I get a prescription from WalkInVirtualClinic’s medical telehealth appointments?
Yes. Your telehealth doctor has the same prescribing privileges as any doctor working in Canada. Your telehealth doctor will even fax your prescription directly to your pharmacy. However, no prescriptions will be provided for narcotics such as opioids, amphetamines, benzodiazepines or other drugs liable for abuse.
Is telehealth legal in British Columbia?
Yes. Telehealth in BC plays an important role in reducing wait times in Canada and providing patients in remote areas access to quality telehealth virtual care. These flexible systems increase patient choice and healthcare availability.
Will I need lab work or additional tests done?
Some conditions require lab work requisitions or in-person testing. Your telehealth doctors may require you to access a lab near you for additional testing like bloodwork, an STI panel, to check medication levels or to assess the health of your kidneys and liver. Virtual telehealth exceeds at treating many issues but some issues do need in-person assessment.
Can I see a specialist from my remote telehealth appointment?
In Canada, all patients must see a primary care physician before seeing a specialist like a cardiologist, dermatologist or allergist. Telehealth BC services like WalkInVirtualClinics let you make this process faster and easier.
