Book an Initial ConsultationHow Virtual Care Works
Your appointment starts with understanding the concern and deciding what should happen next.
Book a virtual appointment
Choose an available virtual appointment through the Verra Health booking page.
Speak with a physician
Discuss your concern, relevant history, medications and what you are hoping to address.
Clarify the plan
Your physician may recommend treatment, monitoring, prescription review, referral or testing when appropriate.
Follow through
If virtual care is not enough, you will be told what in-person or urgent next step is appropriate.
Sometimes the Right Care Is In Person
Virtual care has limits. Your physician may recommend an examination, urgent care, emergency assessment, laboratory testing, imaging or an in-person clinic visit.
Clinical assessment
Some concerns are safer and clearer with a physical examination, vital signs or hands-on assessment.
Testing and imaging
Your physician can explain what testing or imaging may be appropriate and what to do next.
Urgent concerns
Severe, rapidly worsening or potentially dangerous symptoms may need urgent or emergency care rather than a routine virtual appointment.
Follow-through
Virtual care can be a starting point, but additional follow-up, investigation or an Edmonton clinic visit may be recommended depending on the concern.
