Accessing Retin-A in Manitoba

Manitoba is a beautiful place to live, but it has some of the least predictable weather in Canada.

That’s why Felix is changing the landscape for healthcare in Manitoba with our secure online assessment system.

Plus, with free delivery on all treatments in Manitoba like online Retin-A prescriptions, you don’t even have to visit the pharmacy to pick up your treatments when they’re ready. It’s just one of the many ways we’re helping you take back control of your health and get back to living life on your terms - the way it should be.

How do I get a Retin-A prescription in Manitoba?

Shipping

How long will it take to get my medication delivered in Manitoba?

STEP 1: Complete your online assessment. You can do this whenever it makes sense for your schedule (day or night), and from any digital device. It only takes a few minutes to fill out and submit.

STEP 2: One of our licensed clinicians will review your assessment to determine the best treatment options for your unique health condition. Typically, they’ll respond to your request within 24 hours.

STEP 3: If you’re approved for a prescription, Felix’s pharmacy partners are glad to prepare your Retin-A treatments for delivery to you. This takes around 2-3 business days.

STEP 4: Felix then ships your Retin-A medication to you discreetly within around 2-3 business days for your treatments.

If you’d prefer to reach us by phone, you can find the appropriate information on our Contact Us page. You can also take a look at all the different services that we provide for our patients by downloading the Meet the Felix App. It’s available on both Google and Apple stores.

Does it cost money to have my prescription shipped in Manitoba?

No, it won’t cost you anything to have your online Retin-A orders delivered in Manitoba through Felix.

You’ll only need to pay a small assessment fee, in addition to the cost of any treatments that you agree on with your practitioner during the assessment review.

Insurance

Am I covered by insurance?

The only way for you to find out accurately whether you’re covered to get Retin-A orders online in Manitoba is to contact your insurance provider directly to check on what’s included in your existing benefits package.

We can tell you that if you do have coverage for online Retin-A orders in Manitoba, our pharmacy would be happy to facilitate direct billing from Felix to your provider at the time of fulfillment .

The same kinds of issues arise when we’re thinking about provincial health plans, because even if there is coverage in Manitoba for online Retin-A prescriptions, there’s no way for us to know if you’d be eligible to access these supports.

We’d suggest checking out some of the useful information we’ve gathered about how insurance works, so that you can begin determining if there is provincial coverage in your area, as well as whether you’d be eligible to access it.

Does Felix accept all insurance companies in Manitoba?

Yes, Felix is happy to work with every registered insurance company that offers coverage for online Retin-A orders in Manitoba. However, it’s important to remember that not every company or benefits package will include this type of coverage.

We’d recommend taking some time to contact your insurance rep, prior to submitting your assessment request to Felix, so that you can have all the applicable insurance information ready for your practitioner during the assessment follow-up.

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Sadly, it is not. You’ll have to pay a small assessment fee, in addition to any costs associated with treatments that you and your practitioner decide on during your assessment process.

Felix and our pharmacy partners do provide free delivery to get online Retin-A treatments in Manitoba shipped right to your chosen address. This is one of the ways we help you offset this small cost with other savings and value.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

We’d have no way of knowing ahead of your assessment whether you have any private insurance coverage, because it will vary for each patient by both their provider and individual benefits package.

Your best option is to reach out to your insurance rep directly, before you take the time to submit your assessment to Felix. This will give you the opportunity to gather all applicable insurance info for your practitioner, so they can bill your insurer directly for you at the end of your assessment review.

We have similar problems trying to generalize coverage for provincial health supports, because each province is different, and even if there is coverage to get online Retin-A orders in Manitoba, there’s no way for us to know whether you’d be eligible to apply for them.

With this in mind, we’ve put together a page with some very valuable information about how the insurance process works, which will begin helping you figure out if there is coverage in your area, how much there may be, as well as if you’re eligible to access it.

Is Retin-A covered by insurance?

This is a question that Felix can’t really answer ahead of your assessment, because each person’s insurance company/package will look somewhat differently.

We’d suggest asking your insurance rep whether Retin-A treatments are covered in your existing plan, and if so, how much annual coverage you have.

We can also happily share that if they are covered, not only can Felix bill your insurer directly, but we’ll deliver your Retin-A medications (and refills) directly to your doorstep, for no extra fee.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please reach out to our Patient Support team through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of your account or our Contact Us page.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Shipping

How long will it take to get my treatment?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-4 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How much does it cost to ship my treatment?

There is currently no cost to have your treatment shipped to you from our Felix Pharmacy network.

Insurance

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.

Felix 101

What is Felix?

Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a treatment plan for certain conditions, but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a lifestyle treatment safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about your current treatments or treatment plans.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialists to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Our Healthcare Practitioners

How do I communicate with my Felix practitioner?

Your Felix practitioner will message you via secure instant message. You’ll receive an email when you have a new message and can respond to these from within your Felix account.

Can I see the same Felix practitioner after my initial assessment?

You will have the ability to chat with your designated Felix practitioner for the entirety of your prescription length. When your prescription is nearing completion, we will email you to submit a checkup visit so one of our prescribers can renew your prescription. 

Our matching system is based on availability, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be paired with the same healthcare practitioner at your renewal visit.

Who are the practitioners that will be reviewing my online visit?

They are all licensed, real Canadian healthcare practitioners! All online visits submitted via Felix are reviewed by them and they must be licensed in your province to prescribe you the medication. It is these healthcare practitioners, and not Felix, who determine whether or not to write you a prescription, as well as the appropriate dosage (where applicable).

What does your medical team do?

Our medical team and board members help oversee each of our treatments to ensure our medical assessments are thorough, safe, personalized, and provide best-in-class care. Our pharmacists provide treatment support through medication counselling and education.
