Virtual Care
Virtual care refers to the delivery of healthcare services remotely using digital communication tools such as video calls, secure messaging, or phone consultations. It allows patients to access medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment plans without needing to visit a clinic or hospital in person.

Canadian businesses and organizations have chosen to sponsor benefits plans that offer competitive health/dental programs for their employees to help support overall health and wellness in their workforce and their families. We believe that virtual care is an integral part of this offering. According to the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CHLIA) approximately 10 million Canadians currently have access to employer funded virtual care. We can conclude that this is highly prevalent in our clients across the country.
