Thunder Bay questions, answered
I am far from the city centre - can I still be seen?
Yes. The whole assessment happens online, so distance is not a barrier, and any prescribed treatment can be delivered or sent to a pharmacy near you. With a valid Ontario health card it is free; without one it is a flat $30.
Is this really free for Thunder Bay 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 Thunder Bay 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 Thunder Bay. A prescription is only ever provided when it is appropriate. For any emergency, call 911.
