MedLetter vs BC Telehealth (811) for Sick Notes
BC 811 is a free health information line, but it cannot issue sick notes. Here's the full comparison.
BC 811 is a valuable free service for health advice and triage - but it cannot issue sick notes. Their nurses can advise you on symptoms and whether to seek care, but they cannot provide the documentation your employer or school requires. If you need actual documentation, MedLetter is the solution. We provide physician-signed letters that BC 811 simply cannot offer.
Advantages of MedLetter: Actually provides sick note documentation (BC 811 cannot). Staffed by physicians who can sign official medical letters. No phone wait - submit online anytime. Complete service - no referral to another provider needed. Digital PDF accepted by all BC employers and schools. Specialized documentation (accommodation letters, ESA letters). BC 811 is great for health advice, but cannot issue documentation.
