FAQ
Is an online sick note valid for employers in Killam?
Yes. Under Alberta Employment Standards, employers must accept sick notes from any licensed physician, including those issued via telehealth. MedLetter sick notes are signed by a CPSA-registered physician and include their license number, making them legally valid for all Killam employers.
How quickly can I get a sick note in Killam?
Most MedLetter sick notes are delivered within 1-4 hours. Since we operate online, there's no need to drive to Camrose (70 km away) or wait for a local appointment.
Do I need a family doctor in Killam to get a sick note?
No. MedLetter doesn't require an existing family doctor. Many Killam residents don't have a family physician due to the rural physician shortage. Our CPSA-registered physicians can issue sick notes without a prior patient relationship.
What conditions qualify for a sick note in Killam?
Common conditions include cold/flu, stomach flu, migraine, back pain, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, minor injuries, menstrual pain, and insomnia. If your condition prevents you from working safely, you likely qualify.
How much does an online sick note cost for Killam residents?
MedLetter charges a flat fee of $49. No hidden fees, no consultation charges, and no travel costs. Compare this to the cost of gas, time off work, and driving 70 km to reach a walk-in clinic in Camrose.
Can I get a retroactive sick note in Killam?
Yes. MedLetter can issue retroactive sick notes for recent illness (typically within 3-5 days). This is especially helpful for Killam residents who couldn't access a doctor during their illness.
