Medical appointments

In Quebec

Concordia Health Services:
Health Services is your on-campus wellness clinic and health promotion centre. Patients must book an appointment to access care. We offer routine appointments in-person, as well as some virtual appointments. 

Health Services operates Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1 or consult our crisis resources. For more urgent care services, if the clinic is full, or for afterhours care, please consult the additional resources on this page.

  • If you don’t have a Quebec Medicare card – for example, students covered by Blue Cross or students who have an out-of-province Medicare card – you may be able to use a telemedicine resource such as Maple or Lumino.
  • Metro Medic: For same-day or next-day appointments, call 514-932-2122, choose your preferred language and press 6, or email your out-of-province health card or Blue Cross information, Concordia student card and phone number to info@metromedic.com.
  • Finding a resource offering medical consultation on the same or next day: Virtual and in-person appointments.
    Scroll down to "If you do not have a family doctor, or if your family doctor is not available."
    Enter your postal code and call a clinic near you to check if they can see you. Be sure to ask about fees/whether they accept your insurance, etc.
  • If you live on the island of Montreal AND you do NOT have a family doctor you can access the GAP service to be referred to the appropriate resource: #811, then press 3; OR  514 890-6111 OR check out their website.

  • The list of SUPER CLINICS throughout Quebec: explore the clinics' individual websites for info on availabilities and how to book.
  • If you want to go private, verify with your insurance provider what they will cover and what you will pay out-of-pocket.

 

 

Note: You do not need to be registered with a family doctor to access medical care at Concordia Health Services.

If you are not registered with a family doctor, you can also access a doctor through the Primary Care Access Point (Guichet d’accès à la première ligne, GAP). If you are not insured through RAMQ, you should still have access but may have to pay some fees upfront.

Telemedicine services (available within Canada)

Telemedicine services offer 24/7, confidential virtual care, and are available to many Concordia student and employees. Health professionals including nurses, doctors and counsellors can provide diagnosis, prescriptions or referrals with virtual appointments. These services are best used for minor health issues that can be addressed within one consultation.

Maple/Online doctors: Available to all undergraduate students (who did not opt-out of the telemedicine fee) and to all international undergraduate and graduate students who are insured under the BlueCross health insurance plan and living in Canada.

Lumino Health Virtual Care: Available to faculty and staff covered by the Concordia Health Plan. The telemedicine feature offered through Lumino also extends to dependents. To access this service, have your medical contract and member ID numbers ready to register when you log in. 

Across Canada
  • If you're located in Canada, you can use the Lumino Health search tool to find healthcare providers in your province or territory. Appointments are virtual and/or in-person. Use of the search tool is free, but providers do charge fees for their services.
