MedLetter vs Telus Health MyCare for Sick Notes in Ontario
Telus Health MyCare is a virtual care platform offering video consultations with physicians. In Ontario, consultations are OHIP-covered, but appointment availability varies and the platform is designed for general healthcare rather than documentation.
Why Albertans Choose MedLetter
- No appointment or video call needed
- Submit anytime, 7 days/week
- 1-4 hour turnaround
- Specialized in employment documentation
- Ontario ESA expertise
- Multiple documentation types
Verdict
Telus Health MyCare is good for general virtual healthcare. But for sick note documentation, their appointment-based video call system is slower and more cumbersome than MedLetter's form-based process. If you need a note today, MedLetter delivers in hours. If you want ongoing virtual care, Telus Health is the better long-term option.
