MedLetter vs Ontario Telehealth for Sick Notes
Ontario Telehealth is a free provincial service, but it has significant limitations for sick notes. Here's the full comparison.
Ontario Telehealth (Health811) is a valuable free service for health advice and triage - but it cannot issue sick notes. Their nurses can advise you on 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 Ontario Telehealth simply cannot offer.
Advantages of MedLetter: Actually provides sick note documentation (Ontario Telehealth 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 Ontario employers and schools. Specialized documentation (accommodation letters, ESA letters). Ontario Telehealth is great for health advice, but cannot issue documentation.
