***********************
This profile is intended to provide you with information on health markers that may explain an allergic reaction. We encourage you to consult your family doctor if you wish to obtain full management, a prescription or a renewal for medication to treat an allergy.
*Please note that our consultations are offered in telemedicine only, with a physician or a specialized nurse practitioner (NP). The prescription of the lab request may vary depending on your condition. Our health care professional may add or remove tests depending on your situation. Prices will be adjusted accordingly.
Our consultations and check-ups are only offered to people who are in Quebec at the time of the telemedicine consultation. If our health professional prescribes more tests than those already included in the check-up, you have the choice of performing these additional tests with our private laboratories or within the Quebec public health system.
You will receive the official receipt for your insurance claim by email, following the nurse's In-home visit.
