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 Winnipeg
In a Winnipeg winter, heading out to a walk-in clinic is the last thing you want while you are still getting better. If your employer needs a note saying you are fit to come back after an illness or injury, you can meet a provider by secure video or phone from home. They go over your recovery and your job duties, then decide.
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 Winnipeg
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 Winnipeg
Pricing comes in two parts. The assessment visit is billed like any other TelePlus Care appointment, and the certificate fee applies only when the provider clears you.
- 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 Winnipeg
Not every visit ends with a clearance. If it is too soon, or the provider needs a specialist report, test results or a hands-on exam first, there is no $60 certificate fee. The provider explains the next step, which could be more time off, a follow-up or an in-person visit.
If the provider wants you seen in person, hospitals serving neighbourhoods from St. Vital and Transcona to Charleswood and the North End include Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital. Health Links–Info Santé at 204-788-8200 gives free nurse advice if you are unsure 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
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
