September 6, 2024 – Gotodoctor, one of the largest digital platforms integrating public and private health services, is pleased to announce a multi-year contract renewal with Manitoba Blue Cross, a leading health benefits provider in Manitoba.

As part of this agreement as the exclusive preferred provider of virtual and in-person physician care, over 200,000 eligible Manitoba Blue Cross members will also now have access to Gotodoctor’s Health System Navigator.

“Extending our partnership with Manitoba Blue Cross to provide access to additional services is an exciting achievement and recognizes Gotodoctor’s ability to deliver quality patient care beyond typical virtual care,” said Tommy Cheung, founder and CEO of Gotodoctor. “As we continue this strong and long-term relationship with Manitoba Blue Cross, we look forward to providing their members with the exceptional healthcare services our company is known for.”

The Health System Navigator is a unique solution to reduce wait-time and improve access challenges in the public healthcare system. Combining Gotodoctor’s proprietary Service Engine technology, service availability intelligence and advocacy algorithm, this service ensures members and their families do not just passively wait for the care they need. Gotodoctor’s dedicated team will locate and expedite family physician roster, specialist appointments and diagnostic imaging or testing for members.

“This new service from our trusted partner Gotodoctor has the ability to actively support members as they navigate the healthcare landscape to ensure they get the right care and treatment they need in a timely manner,” says David Tompkins, vice president of sales at Manitoba Blue Cross. “We are thrilled to provide our members with yet another service to help them improve their health and wellness.”

The new contract also includes additional commercial opportunities, further enhancing the value for both organizations.
