FAQ
Is an online sick note valid for employers in Rimbey?
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 Rimbey employers.
How quickly can I get a sick note in Rimbey?
Most MedLetter sick notes are delivered within 1-4 hours. Since we operate online, there's no need to drive to Red Deer (65 km away) or wait for a local appointment.
Do I need a family doctor in Rimbey to get a sick note?
No. MedLetter doesn't require an existing family doctor. Many Rimbey 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 Rimbey?
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 Rimbey residents?

Can I get a retroactive sick note in Rimbey?
Yes. MedLetter can issue retroactive sick notes for recent illness (typically within 3-5 days). This is especially helpful for Rimbey residents who couldn't access a doctor during their illness.
