Maple Maskawâhtik, a virtual care platform, is available for Albertans without a family doctor seeking primary medical care.
Maple Maskawâhtik will provide online doctor visits with General Practitioners and it will be covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan.
This program is available via an alternative relationship plan (ARP) from Alberta Health to Alberta residents from 8 am to 10 pm MST on weekdays. Patients will be prompted to submit their health card number before they are connected with a local Alberta physician through the Maple Platform. Patients can use audio or video to receive healthcare advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription.
For those looking for care outside these hours or who need a sick note, Maple’s regular 24/7 service is will be accessible.
Though Albertans with a family doctor can access the service, the main goal of this program is to improve access to healthcare for those who don’t have a family doctor, live in rural or underserved areas, or can’t travel.
Maple Maskawâhtik is a joint venture between the Saa Dene Group, a collective of Indigenous-owned companies which aims to increase authentic Indigenous economic participation, and Maple, Canada’s leading virtual care platform. Named after the Cree word for maple, Maple Maskawâhtik was created to address the limited access to physician and mental health services in Indigenous Communities and support virtual healthcare for all Canadians.
