For Alberta non-emergency documentation questions. A physician decides after assessment whether a note is clinically appropriate.

Online Sick Notes in Alberta —
$40

Start a clinic-reviewed doctor-call request from home. A sick note costs $40 with no tax only if a physician decides after assessment that it is clinically appropriate.

Request a doctor call

For a non-emergency documentation question. For requests submitted during open hours, the clinic reviews the request and contacts you about the next step.

For a possible emergency, call 911 rather than waiting for an online request.

Payment is collected after assessment through the clinic’s approved process. Do not enter payment details, a health-card number, forms, or health details on the public request form.

How it works

One request. A physician decides the next step.

Use the existing general request form for a non-emergency documentation question. It starts clinic review; it does not automatically create a note, appointment, treatment plan, or employer decision.

Start a general request

Share only callback, Alberta location, and eligibility details. Keep your health history, forms, and other private information for the clinic’s approved workflow.

Assessment comes first

A physician decides whether a note can be clinically appropriate, whether more assessment is needed, and whether an in-person doctor, urgent care, or another setting fits better.

Fee and delivery follow review

If a note is clinically appropriate, the $40 no-tax documentation fee is collected after assessment. The clinic may send a PDF by email through its approved consent and identity-verification process.

Fee and AHCIP context

Documentation and an insured consultation are different questions.

Alberta lists medical forms and notes among services not covered by AHCIP. A physician decides whether any assessment is medically necessary and insured; a third-party document is separate.

$40, no tax. The documentation fee applies only if a physician decides after assessment that a note is clinically appropriate.

Payment after assessment. The public request form does not collect payment details. The clinic handles payment through its approved process after the physician assessment.

Ask before assuming. A request does not guarantee a note, fee outcome, employer or school acceptance, or any other result.

Timing information

A two-hour target
for eligible requests.

This is not guaranteed. A physician may need more assessment, an in-person visit, urgent care, another care setting, or more time.

Requests received after 8:00pm do not use the two-hour target. The clinic operates daily from 8:00am to 10:00pm Mountain Time.

Official documentation only — not treatment

A sick note is for official documentation only. It is not medical treatment. If you need treatment, see an in-person doctor or urgent care; for a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Call 911 Read Alberta documentation questions

Prepare for the right conversation

Keep the public form brief.

The generic public form remains for callback, Alberta location, and eligibility only. It is not a treatment, symptom, payment, or document-upload form.

Do not enter private health details

Do not enter symptoms, diagnoses, medication lists, health-card numbers, photos, records, forms, or payment information in the public form.

Keep treatment needs separate

A sick-note request does not replace an assessment for treatment. If you need treatment, use an appropriate in-person doctor or urgent-care setting.

Acceptance is decided elsewhere

An employer, school, insurer, or other organization decides its own requirements and whether it accepts a document.
