Fast, accessible telehealth for visitors, newcomers, and non-MSP residents across British Columbia.

121Clinicians connects you with experienced, licensed BC physicians from anywhere in the province.

Who Qualifies as a Private Patient?

If you do not currently hold an active British Columbia Medical Services Plan (MSP) card, you can be seen as a private self-pay patient. This includes:

  • Visitors & Tourists: International travellers needing prompt medical advice, illness evaluation, or medication continuity while in BC.
  • Residents of Other Canadian Provinces: Individuals visiting or working temporarily in BC who need immediate virtual care (official receipts provided for private or provincial reimbursement).
  • International Students: Students attending BC institutions who are uninsured by MSP or awaiting private student health plan processing.
  • Temporary Foreign Workers & Extended Visitors: Professionals and seasonal workers in BC on work permits or temporary visas.
  • New BC Residents in the Waiting Period: Individuals relocating to British Columbia who are completing the standard waiting period for MSP coverage.

Common Conditions & Services We Cover

  • Prescription Renewals & Continuity: Refills for routine medications, forgotten maintenance drugs, or travel-related prescription extensions sent directly to any BC pharmacy.
  • Acute Illnesses (Cold, Flu & Infections): Timely treatment for cough, fever, sore throat, sinus congestion, ear discomfort, or seasonal allergies.
  • Skin, Eye & Minor Conditions: Treatment for rashes, mild burns, cuts, pink eye (conjunctivitis), and insect bites.
  • Sexual & Reproductive Health: Birth control consultations, emergency contraception, UTI treatment, and discreet STI screening requisitions.
  • Digestive & General Health: Relief for stomach upset, nausea, acid reflux, migraines, and routine flare-ups.
  • Lab & Diagnostic Requisitions: Official digital requisitions for LifeLabs blood work and outpatient medical imaging across BC.
  • Medical Documentation & Sick Notes: Verified medical certificates and doctor’s notes for travel, school, or employers.

*Please note: In accordance with College guidelines, our virtual physicians do not prescribe controlled drugs, narcotics, sedatives, or medical cannabis.
