Birth Control Online in Mission

You are seen by a Canadian licensed doctor authorized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) to care for patients in British Columbia.

Health care in British Columbia is administered through Medical Services Plan. TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic — your flat-fee visit is not billed to MSP, and no referral, roster, or wait-list is required.

For free, publicly funded non-urgent health advice in British Columbia, you can also call HealthLink BC (811).

Online care is not for emergencies. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Yes. TelePlus Care offers fully virtual birth control consultations for Mission residents. A licensed doctor reviews your medical history, checks your blood pressure, and screens for contraindications. If a method is clinically suitable, they can prescribe the combined pill, the progestin-only mini-pill, the patch, or the vaginal ring the same day.

Our licensed doctors can prescribe the combined oral contraceptive pill, the progestin-only (mini) pill, the contraceptive patch, and the vaginal ring — the methods you self-administer that don't require a physical procedure. IUDs, implants, and injectables require in-person placement and cannot be prescribed virtually.

No. The booking team shares appointment steps before the visit, and the doctor explains the safest next step. Your care team confirms the visit steps, intake requirements, and follow-up plan before the appointment. The medication itself is handled separately at the pharmacy and may be partly available through benefits plan or provincial drug programs depending on your eligibility.

Same day in most cases. Once your virtual consultation is complete and the doctor confirms a method is safe for you, a prescription is issued for you to fill at your chosen Mission pharmacy — many patients pick up their pills within hours.

No. Birth control is not suitable for everyone. The doctor checks your blood pressure and screens for contraindications such as a history of blood clots, stroke, certain migraines with aura, smoking over age 35, uncontrolled hypertension, or current pregnancy. If a combined method isn't safe for you, a progestin-only option may still be appropriate.

Yes. Switching contraceptive brands or reformulating an existing pill is one of the most common reasons Mission patients book with us. The doctor reviews your current method, side effects, and goals, then prescribes a new option with guidance on how to transition.

TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic, so visits are not billed to Medical Services Plan (MSP) — you pay a flat visit fee and there is no wait-list or referral needed. Our doctors are licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) to care for patients in British Columbia. For publicly insured, non-urgent advice you can also call HealthLink BC (811).

Most Mission patients can book a same-day or next-day virtual visit with TelePlus Care — no roster, referral, or wait-list required. You connect with a Canadian licensed doctor by phone or secure video from home, and when appropriate a prescription is sent to your preferred Mission pharmacy.

In British Columbia, pharmacists have been authorized since June 1, 2023 to independently assess and prescribe hormonal contraception (as can your doctor), and BC PharmaCare covers prescription contraceptives — including most oral pills, hormonal and copper IUDs, implants, injections, the vaginal ring, and emergency contraception — at no cost to residents enrolled in the Medical Services Plan (MSP). Some brand-name products are only partially covered, but a fully covered equivalent is generally available.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across British Columbia, including Mission, Nanaimo, New Westminster, North Vancouver, and Penticton, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
