Primary Care Program
The primary care program is ideal for those without a current primary health care provider (family physician or nurse practitioner) with multiple concerns, requiring regular care or simply wish to have consistent access to the same NP that is familiar with you. This starts with an initial intake appointment in order to have a comprehensive review of your health and assess any current health concerns. After that for any new problems, any forms or to continue to follow-up with recurring or chronic problems you can make primary care appointments. If you already have a primary health care provider, you do not qualify for this program unless you are experiencing difficulty accessing timely appointments.
Enrollment is meant to last up to 2 years until a long term primary care provider is established. A transfer summary will be faxed to your new provider at no extra cost following your final appointment.
Episodic Care
These are single visits for new or existing patients. After an appointment is requested, you will receive text and/or e-mail confirmation of appointment. Examples of episodic care appointments include: cold/flu, cough, urinary symptoms, STI testing, nasal/sinus symptoms, rash, minor injuries, allergies, heartburn, contraception/birth control, shingles/cold sores, medication refills, sick notes. Please e-transfer payment as instructed on the emailed invoice following your appointment. Some providers accept credit card payment for additional 3% fee.
Forms
Sick or day care notes are included with an appointment cost. Completion of other forms is at the discretion of the health provider and require an additional charge. Forms can be securely uploaded using CHR Connect. Forms involve the appointment cost as well as the form cost which varies depending on length (ask your provider). Once payment is received, the form is faxed to the third party and a copy is sent encrypted to you by email or text.
