Telehealth primary care

A doctor you can see - from home.

MCL Medicare is a primary care clinic for adults across Manitoba. You see the same kind of doctor you’d see in person, on video, from wherever you are.

We’re not accepting new patients quite yet.

We’re preparing to open. Send us a note and we’ll email you when we’re ready.

What we do

Primary care, designed for the way you actually live.

01Visits

Doctor visits on video.

Talk with a family doctor on a phone, tablet, or computer. No app to install - we send you a link.

02Eligibility

Open to adults across Manitoba.

We focus on the day-to-day care adults actually need: ongoing conditions, prescriptions, referrals, check-ins. Anyone with Manitoba Health coverage is welcome.

03Continuity

The same doctor each time, where we can.

Continuity matters. We try to keep you with one doctor so you're not starting over every visit.

Why MCL Medicare

Care that fits the day you’re actually having.

You shouldn’t have to plan your week around a doctor’s appointment. Here’s how primary care looks now - and what changes when you see us.

Today

The way primary care often works

  • Long waits for a 10-minute visit
  • A different doctor every time
  • Driving to a clinic for a prescription refill
  • Lab results you have to chase
  • Phones that don't get answered after 4pm
With MCL Medicare

The way it should

  • Visits booked when it works for you
  • The same doctor each time, where we can
  • Prescriptions sent to your pharmacy directly
  • Results explained on a video call
  • A care team that follows up if anything's pending

What you can expect

Practical commitments, not promises.

How a visit works

Three steps. No waiting room.

  1. 01

    Book a time.

    You book online or by phone. We'll confirm by email.

  2. 02

    Meet your doctor on video.

    At your appointment time, you click the link we send. Most visits are 15 to 30 minutes.

  3. 03

    Get what you need, after.

    Prescriptions go to your pharmacy. Lab requisitions and referrals reach the right place. We follow up if anything's pending.

About us

A small Manitoba clinic, built around continuity.

MCL Medicare is a Manitoba-based telehealth clinic. We started because too many people don’t have a family doctor, and the ones who do can rarely get an appointment when they need one.

We’re trying to fix that - carefully, and one community at a time. Our work begins with telehealth visits for adults across Manitoba and an initiative supporting Norway House Cree Nation.

Questions

Things people ask before their first visit.

If you don’t see your question here, write us at hello@mclmedicare.com.

Who is MCL Medicare for?

Anyone in Manitoba with Manitoba Health coverage. We're a primary care clinic for adults of all ages who want a steady relationship with a family doctor without having to drive to a clinic.

Do I need a computer to use it?

No. A phone or tablet works. We send you a plain link by text or email at your appointment time - you tap it and your doctor appears. There's no app to download, no account to set up before your first visit.

How long is a visit?

Most visits are 15 to 30 minutes - long enough to actually talk through what's going on, not a rushed handoff. If you need more time, we book it.

What if I need a prescription, lab work, or a referral?

Prescriptions go to the pharmacy you tell us about. Lab requisitions and specialist referrals are sent to the right place automatically. We follow up if anything is pending.

Will I see the same doctor each time?

Wherever we can, yes. Continuity is one of the things we're building MCL Medicare around - your doctor knows your history, so you're not starting over at every visit.

Is this covered by Manitoba Health?

Telehealth visits with a Manitoba-licensed family doctor are covered the same way as in-person visits for eligible residents. You won't be billed for the visit itself.

What about my privacy?

Your visits and records are kept in a secure, Canadian-hosted system. We follow PHIA (Personal Health Information Act) for Manitoba and never share your information for marketing or sell it to third parties.

When are you opening?

We're preparing to open and aren't accepting new patients quite yet. Send us a note and we'll email you the moment we're ready.
