No, your family doctor will not be notified if you use TeleTest. We don’t bill OHIP for arranging tests or prescriptions, so there is no impact on your doctor or their practice. This differs from visiting a local walk-in clinic, which may affect your doctor's compensation.

With experience serving tens of thousands of patients, we’ve refined our approach to deliver a truly patient-focused, seamless experience. At TeleTest, our goal is to make metabolic health testing accessible, judgment-free, and straightforward.

Our process respects your privacy by offering both asynchronous messaging and real-time consultations, allowing you to choose the option that works best for you. We recognize that getting metabolic testing can be unnecessarily complex, so we’ve streamlined every step to remove barriers and provide timely, efficient care.

Most test results are ready within 2-2 business days, depending on the type of test.

We track real-time turn around from different labs within the province from your patient portal.

We prioritize your privacy and take every step to keep your information secure. While fully anonymous testing is not available due to lab and legal requirements, your results are never shared with your family doctor without your consent. If you wish for more privacy, please read more here.

Yes, our service is messaging-based, so you can access testing, prescriptions for STI treatment, and counselling without the need for a video or phone call. This approach respects the sensitive nature of your concerns and ensures your comfort and privacy while receiving care.

Yes, you can use TeleTest without OHIP. We welcome patients with UHIP, private insurance, or no insurance. Lab tests may be covered by regular insurance plans, and direct billing is available at some labs—confirm with your lab provider for details.

If you're a student, insurance like UHIP or Morcare often covers routine testing, but check with your provider to confirm.

Many non-OHIP patients use insurance such as:

• UHIP (University Health Insurance Plan)
• Blue Cross
• Morcare
• Sun Life
• Manulife
• Green Shield

Uninsured? Our services are still accessible with clear, upfront pricing.

Your doctor will send the prescription to your chosen pharmacy. If preferred, TeleTest offers prescription delivery through a partner pharmacy for home delivery. Payment options include out-of-pocket, private insurance, or a Health Spending Account (HSA), depending on your coverage.

No, nothing is shipped to your home for standard testing. All lab requisitions and prescriptions are handled digitally, and standard tests are completed at the lab.

However, if you specifically request site-specific swab testing (e.g., for oral chlamydia or gonorrhea), a discreet testing kit will be shipped to your home address. This kit is completed at home and then dropped off at the lab for processing. This ensures flexibility and privacy for certain tests.

If you receive an abnormal result, you'll be notified through an automated message once your results are available in your portal for review. A secure messaging link will then connect you with a doctor to provide treatment, issue any necessary prescriptions, and answer your questions.

Yes, all your results are available for review in your patient portal. For privacy reasons, results are automatically removed after 30 days.

Our paperwork is valid at any lab within Ontario, including LifeLabs, Dynacare, Alpha Laboratories, Med-Health Laboratories, and Medical Laboratories of Windsor. You can select your preferred lab from our province-wide list or print a copy to take with you to any lab of your choice.
