Frequently asked questions

Common questions from patients without provincial health coverage.

Intakes submitted during business hours (9 AM - 9 PM EST) are reviewed the same day. After-hours submissions are reviewed the next business day. Most consultations are reviewed and approved the same day - 90% are reviewed within 90 minutes. As soon as your clinician approves your prescription, it's sent directly to your pharmacy and you can begin filling it right away. Lab requisitions are sent the same way and you can walk in to any partner lab the same day.

Yes! TeleTest is designed for anyone in Canada, regardless of whether you have provincial health coverage. You pay our consultation fee, and if you need lab work, you pay the lab directly when you visit. No health card required.

Lab fees vary by test. Common tests like a complete blood count or basic metabolic panel typically range from $30-100. More comprehensive panels may cost $150-300. You'll pay the lab directly when you visit - they'll tell you the exact cost before drawing blood.

Note: Our clinicians may recommend specific lab tests based on your health needs, but you're always in control. If you'd like to reduce costs, you can decline specific tests at the lab - the lab technician will confirm which tests you want before proceeding.

Many travel insurance plans cover medically necessary lab testing and consultations. We provide official receipts that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Check with your specific insurer about their coverage policies.

Yes, many private insurers like Blue Cross, Manulife, and Sun Life reimburse for virtual medical consultations and lab testing. We provide itemized receipts for all services. Submit these to your insurer according to their claims process.

Absolutely. Many of our patients are helping their visiting parents or relatives get health monitoring while in Canada. They can track chronic conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, or kidney function without navigating the Canadian healthcare system on their own.

Students often lose provincial health insurance coverage when they turn a certain age, change schools, or take time off. TeleTest can help you get lab work and prescription renewals while you sort out your coverage. Check with your school - many offer health plans for students as well.

Yes! All your results are available as downloadable PDF reports in your patient portal. You can share these with your regular doctor or specialists in your home country. Results are presented in a clear, internationally recognized format.

You can visit any of 500+ walk-in lab locations across Canada at all major lab networks. Many are in malls, medical buildings, and pharmacies. No appointment is usually needed for routine blood work.  Find a lab near you

We offer a wide range of tests including: complete blood count (CBC), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR), liver function, HbA1c for diabetes, thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4), cholesterol/lipid panel, iron studies, vitamin D, STI testing (chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis), INR for warfarin monitoring, and more. If you need a specific test, just ask - we can likely help.

Most routine lab results are available within 1-3 business days after your lab visit. You'll receive a notification when results are ready in your portal. No need to return anywhere - view everything online.

Yes! Many patients work with clinicians in their home country who require lab testing for ongoing monitoring. We can provide requisitions for the tests your doctor needs, and you can download the results as a PDF to share with them. This is common for patients managing chronic conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid disorders while living or traveling in Canada.

Absolutely. We regularly help patients with diabetes monitor their HbA1c and blood glucose levels, and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) track their kidney function with creatinine/eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) tests. Results are reviewed by our clinicians, and you can message us with any questions about your levels.
