Providing publicly-covered consultations
Updated over a week ago

Some Maple services are covered under provincial health insurance plans, where the province covers the cost, and Maple handles the billing. For Maple’s services to be covered, the province must have public coverage for telemedicine consultations, and the consultation must meet the specific provincial requirements.

If you are interested in providing publicly-funded care on Maple, please contact our Provider Team at [email protected].
