Family doctor & primary care

A rostered relationship with a family physician or team helps coordinate preventive care, referrals, and chronic disease management. Insured visits still require a valid provincial health card — see Provincial health card for coverage and card status. Contact your clinic for appointments and after-hours options.

In Ontario-style models, “rostered” means the ministry pays the clinic partly on an enrollment basis; you still need an appointment for most issues. Team-based care can include nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists—the portal should eventually reflect those roles, not only the physician name.

Care coordination

Electronic referrals reduce fax errors but still depend on specialist office capacity. Patients may see status labels such as “sent,” “booked,” or “declined”—each needs plain-language explanation and a next step. If you use this profile in class, trace how a specialist visit would also surface on drug coverage when new prescriptions appear.

Specialist referrals are sent electronically through the Ontario eReferral system when supported by the receiving program.
