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 Markham
Markham employers tend to want documentation in writing rather than a quick phone call. If you are going back after an illness or injury, that can mean a signed clearance from a provider before your first day back. The assessment takes place by video or phone, so you can arrange it from home.
This is different from an ordinary doctor's note. A note covers the days you missed; a return to work certificate states that you are fit to resume your job, sets your return date and, if the provider thinks it is needed, lists temporary limits such as lighter duties or shorter shifts.
- 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 Markham
Every certificate starts with a full assessment visit. The provider decides after hearing about your illness or injury, your recovery and your duties at work.
- 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 Markham
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 Markham
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 you need an in-person exam or tests before a decision, the provider will explain where to go. Markham Stouffville Hospital serves Unionville, Milliken, Cornell, Thornhill and nearby areas, and Health811 (dial 811) gives free nurse advice when you are not sure what to do.
- 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
Bringing these to the visit usually means the provider can decide the same day.
- 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
