Frequently Asked Questions — Teleconsultation in Estrie
How the service works, coverage of cities and rural areas in Estrie, costs, confidentiality, medical notes, and the limits of telemedicine – everything you need to know.
Yes. The Omicron Clinic offers online medical consultations accessible from all cities and municipalities in Estrie — Sherbrooke, Magog, Granby, Coaticook, Lac-Mégantic, Windsor, Waterville, Richmond, Val-des-Sources, East Angus, Cookshire-Eaton, Bromont, Cowansville, and more. The service is particularly suited for rural areas where in-person consultation wait times can be long. All that's needed is a connected device and an internet connection.
A wide range of care can be provided remotely: general medical consultations, prescription renewals, medical tickets, chronic disease monitoring (diabetes, hypertension, asthma), mental health support (anxiety, depression, ADHD), STI screening, hormonal health, dermatology, nutrition and more. The professional will assess whether teleconsultation is appropriate for your situation and refer you if a physical examination is required.
Consultations are carried out by physicians and specialized nurse practitioners (SNPs) licensed in Quebec. SPNs hold a Master's degree in nursing and are authorized to diagnose, prescribe medication and order diagnostic tests within their field of practice. Depending on the nature of your consultation, you will be directed to the professional best suited to your needs.
Yes. All our consultations are conducted on platforms compliant with Quebec's medical privacy standards and Law 25. Your health data is encrypted, secured, and integrated into your file in our Medfar system. It is never shared without your consent. The consultation is as confidential as an in-person visit to the clinic.
Yes. If clinically justified, the physician or nurse practitioner can issue a prescription, renew a prescription, or write a medical note (sick note, school absence note, insurance attestation) during the online consultation. Prescriptions are transmitted electronically to the pharmacy of your choice in Estrie. Some high-risk prescriptions may require further assessment.
After booking your appointment online or by phone, you'll receive a secure link to join the video consultation at the agreed time. No application is required - everything is done via a standard web browser. Make yourself comfortable in a quiet, private area, and have your current medications and recent test results ready if applicable. Average duration is 15 to 30 minutes, depending on complexity.
Yes, this is precisely one of the most important advantages for residents of Estrie. Rural areas and distant RCMs (Regional County Municipalities) — Granit, Haut-Saint-François, Sources, Coaticook — face sometimes significant delays in accessing primary care. Teleconsultation allows for obtaining medical advice, prescription renewals, or a medical note without having to travel long distances. A simple internet connection is sufficient, even in rural areas.
Online consultations at Clinique Omicron are private and are not reimbursed by the RAMQ for procedures billed privately. Some private group insurances reimburse remote medical or paramedical consultations - check with your insurer for coverage. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) may also cover certain consultations. See our Pricing section for details.
Telemedicine does not replace emergency care or procedures requiring a physical examination: auscultation, palpation, invasive procedures, blood tests, or imaging. In case of chest pain, stroke, severe breathing difficulties, or serious injury, call 911 or go to the CIUSSS de l'Estrie – CHUS in Sherbrooke or the nearest emergency room. The healthcare professional will assess if the situation can be managed remotely and will guide you if necessary.
Yes. If deemed necessary, an order for blood tests, samples, or medical imaging may be issued during the online consultation. You can then have these tests done at a laboratory of your choice in the Estrie region. Clinique Omicron also offers at-home blood collection services in certain areas – contact us to verify availability in your sector.
Yes, you can make an appointment for yourself or a member of your family. For minor children, the consultation must be attended by a parent or legal guardian. For caregivers who wish to accompany a family member, please specify this when making your appointment so that the consultation can be scheduled accordingly.
