FAQ

Cobourg questions, answered

Does Pharmly cover Port Hope and the rest of Northumberland?

Yes. Anyone in Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton or the surrounding county can use it, since the assessment is online. With a valid Ontario health card it is free, and prescriptions can be delivered or sent to a pharmacy near you.

Is this really free for Cobourg residents?

Yes - with a valid Ontario health card the assessment is free, because Ontario pays pharmacies for minor ailment assessments. Without a health card it is a flat $30. If a medication is prescribed you pay the usual price for it, and your drug plan may cover it.

Do I need to visit a pharmacy in person?

No. The whole assessment happens online, and if treatment is prescribed it can be delivered to you anywhere in Cobourg at no extra cost - or sent to a pharmacy near you.

I don't have a family doctor. Does that matter?

Not at all - no referral, appointment, or family doctor is needed. Pharmly exists precisely for the millions of Ontarians who don't have easy access to primary care.

What if my condition isn't treatable by a pharmacist?

The questionnaire screens for red flags, and the pharmacist will honestly tell you if your situation needs a doctor or urgent care - and point you to the right place in Cobourg. A prescription is only ever provided when it is appropriate. For any emergency, call 911.
