Medication travel letter

Assessment pathway

Records-based clinician review

Suitability is determined by the physician. A virtual encounter is not a substitute for a needed examination, access to relevant records or a designated practitioner.

What the physician may need

• Current prescription records
• Destination and carrier requirements
• Disclosure consent

Do not send records or health information through the public partnership form.

Important limits

• Not permission to import a controlled drug.
• Check destination rules separately.

Coverage and fees

An individual physician-approved quote, only after coverage and payer review.

Check the provincial plan, any employer or insurer payment, program-specific rules and tax treatment. Assessment and documentation must not be double-billed or bundled to conceal insured care.
