Abstract AlbertaMD care pathway cards in evergreen tones
Start with a conversationVirtual care is not right for every concern. A doctor helps decide what comes next.

Care-navigation helper

Choose an information path,
not a diagnosis.

This local-only helper does not ask for symptoms, diagnose a condition, assess urgency, or decide whether virtual care is suitable. Choices are not collected, saved, or sent.

Could this be an emergency right now?

For example: severe trouble breathing, chest pain, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or severe rapidly worsening symptoms.

Are you unsure whether you need in-person care?
Are you looking for information about a common, non-emergency concern?

Select the fixed choices above to see a general information path. A clinician still decides whether virtual care is appropriate.

Common care questions

Common reasons to
speak with a doctor today.

Start with an existing guide. It offers general information only; the clinic decides the appropriate next care step.

Care topics

Common care
questions in Alberta.

Common questions

Quick answers before your request.

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.

When not to wait

Emergency care comes first.

If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or may be an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For uncertainty about where to go, contact an appropriate in-person healthcare professional or care setting for individual guidance.
