What does AlbertaMD treat online in Alberta?
AlbertaMD provides an online visit form pathway for common care topics and symptom questions. A clinician reviews each concern individually and decides whether a virtual conversation, an in-person assessment, or another care route is appropriate.
Can I request a prescription refill online?
You can prepare medication names, doses, allergies, and the question you want reviewed. A prescription, refill, renewal, or dose change is not automatic and depends on an appropriate clinical assessment.
Can I ask about an established blood-pressure or diabetes medication renewal?
You can send a routine question about an established non-controlled medication, including blood-pressure or diabetes medication, for clinic review. AlbertaMD does not offer online renewal of pain medications, controlled medications, or similar restricted medicines. A clinician decides whether a renewal, refill, dose change, another assessment, a pharmacy conversation, or another care setting is appropriate. No outcome is automatic.
Can I request a sick note or specialist referral?
You can explain what you need, but a request does not promise a note, form, referral, or other document. A clinician decides whether the requested next step is appropriate after assessment.
Is an online request covered with an Alberta health card?
A valid Alberta Health Care card and active AHCIP coverage are required. You must be physically in Alberta. Eligible medically necessary doctor visits are covered by AHCIP for patients with a valid Alberta Health Care card and active coverage. This refers to the doctor consultation. Medication costs and uninsured services are separate.
