Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Seasonique is a combination hormone medication that is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. It works by preventing ovulation, keeping sperm from reaching an egg should one be released, and ensuring fertilized eggs travel out of the body.

Seasonique is also used to make periods more regular and less frequent, reduce blood flow and painful periods, decrease the risk of ovarian cysts, and treat acne. This medication will not protect you or your partner from STDs or STIs.

Seasonique should be taken by mouth as directed by a doctor, once daily with or without food. The pill pack contains 84 estrogen/progestin pills and 7 estrogen-only pills. Take one estrogen/progestin pill daily for 84 days in a row. The day after you finish all the combination pills, start taking one estrogen-only pill daily for 7 days in a row. You should have your period during the week you are taking estrogen-only pills. The day after you take the last estrogen-only pill, start a new pack whether or not you have your period. If you did not get your period, consult a doctor. If this is the first time you are taking this medication, use an additional form of non-hormonal birth control for the first 7 days.

Some common side effects of Seasonique include:

• Nausea, vomiting
• Headache
• Bloating, swelling of ankles/feet, weight gain
• Breast tenderness
• Spotting
• Increased risk of blood clots
• Increased risk of some hormone dependent tumours

You can stop taking Seasonique at any time. If you are stopping this medication in order to conceive, consult a doctor first. Other contraceptives should be used if you do not want to become pregnant after going off Seasonique.

Seasonique should not be taken by those who are pregnant or smokers over the age of 35. It should also not be taken if any of these conditions apply: untreated or controlled high blood pressure, heart disease, a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease, a history of jaundice, or problems with the eyes or kidneys.
