Telehealth in British Columbia

Residents of British Columbia can access licensed telehealth for weight management, sexual health, hair loss, skincare and general prescriptions. Every provider listed on this site works with clinicians licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC), the body that sets the standard for virtual prescribing in BC.

MSP covers virtual visits billed by enrolled physicians. Direct-pay telehealth clinics are not covered, but they require no referral and no family doctor.

Because Canadian telehealth is regulated provincially rather than federally, coverage is not uniform across the country. Our guide to Canadian telehealth regulation explains what a clinician must do before prescribing to you, and how to verify their licence in about a minute.

Major Centres in British Columbia

Telehealth coverage is provincial, not municipal — availability in Vancouver, Victoria is the same as anywhere else in BC. Delivery time is the only practical difference, and remote addresses can take longer than the one-to-two-day standard advertised for urban centres.

Prescription notice

GLP-1 medications, finasteride, NAD+ injections and the other treatments compared on this site are prescription-only in Canada. A prescription is issued only when a clinician licensed in your province determines it is clinically appropriate for you. Approval is never guaranteed.

Provider independence

Healthcare services are provided by independent third-party telehealth providers. All clinical and prescribing decisions are made solely by each provider's licensed clinicians, not by ExploreTreatments Canada.

You can verify any clinician on the College's public register.
