Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
Going back to work in Gander
Shift schedules in town often expect paperwork to arrive quickly. After an illness or injury, your employer may want a provider to confirm you are ready before you are put back on the schedule. The full assessment happens by video or phone, so you can take care of it without leaving home.
Employers often ask for this instead of a sick note. A sick note explains an absence, while the certificate confirms you can safely go back, names the date you return and can set out temporary restrictions, for example lighter work or reduced hours.
- After a longer illness or an injury
- After surgery or a hospital stay
- Before going back to safety-sensitive work, such as driving, operating equipment or heavy lifting
- When your employer or benefits plan sends its own fitness for work form
How the assessment works from Gander
The certificate is never issued on request alone. A provider first needs to understand what happened, how you are recovering and what your job involves.
- Step 1: Book a visit online and choose "Return to Work Certificate".
- Step 2: Meet the provider by secure video or phone. They review your illness or injury, your recovery and your job duties.
- Step 3: The provider decides whether you are fit to return, and whether any restrictions are needed.
- Step 4: If you are approved, we email you a secure link to pay the $60 certificate fee.
- Step 5: Once it is paid, your signed certificate is emailed to you.
What it costs in Gander
You pay for the assessment the same way as any TelePlus Care visit. The certificate itself is a separate charge, and it applies only if you are approved to return.
- Assessment visit: $80.
- Return to work certificate: $60, charged only if the provider approves your return to work.
- Not approved: no certificate fee. The provider explains why and what to do next.
If you are not cleared yet, or need to be seen in person near Gander
The provider may decide you need more recovery time, or may want more information first, such as test results, a specialist report or an in-person exam. If so, the $60 certificate fee is not charged, and you are told what comes next: more time off, a follow-up visit or an in-person appointment.
If the provider wants an in-person exam, James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre serves Gander and central Newfoundland. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for anything life-threatening, and 811 HealthLine gives free nurse advice if you are not sure where to go.
- Call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke or heavy bleeding
- Online visits are not for emergencies or for injuries that need a hands-on exam
What to have ready for your visit
Having these ready helps the provider make a decision in one visit.
- The reason you were off work and when it started
- Any hospital, specialist or test reports you have
- A short description of your job duties, especially physical or safety-sensitive tasks
- Your employer's form, if they gave you one
