June 4, 2023 – Gotodoctor.ca, a leading healthcare access solution company in Canada, is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with 1.800MD, a subsidiary of One80 Intermediaries, a leading virtual care provider in the US with one of the largest networks of telemedicine physicians in the country. This collaboration brings together two industry-leading organizations within their respective countries that are committed to improving healthcare accessibility and quality through the use of technology.

Gotodoctor.ca already connects to an estimated a million Canadians through its online portal, virtual clinics in McKesson Canada’s pharmacies, in-person clinics, employers, and insurance partners. With its integrated virtual care with pharmacies and in-person clinics, Gotodoctor.ca has established a unique primary care platform that goes beyond virtual care and enables patients to receive comprehensive care from physicians, pharmacists, and other health professionals on-site. Major employers, insurance companies, and TPAs like Manitoba Blue Cross, Green Benefits, Simply Benefits, and Automated Administration Services are now using its digital employee services.

1.800MD is a leading healthcare provider that offers comprehensive telemedicine services to individuals in the US. With a focus on improving access to comprehensive primary care, 1.800MD uses technology and a network of qualified healthcare professionals, which is one of the largest board-certified virtual care physician networks, to deliver convenient and affordable medical consultations.

There are over 2.5 million Canadians who travel to the US, and over 1.2 million US residents visit Canada each month.¹ Through this exclusive partnership, both organizations will jointly develop one-of-a-kind cross-border (Canada and the US) primary care services and deliver a seamless experience to their clients across North America. Gotodoctor.ca and 1.800MD will also be able to expand their service offerings beyond their current geographic boundaries and tap into new employee and travel insurance market opportunities.

“1.800MD has a strong reputation in the US for providing high-quality and convenient primary care, and we are excited to join forces with them to improve the health and well-being of individuals across Canada and the US,” said Tommy Cheung, CEO of Gotodoctor.ca. “This is an exciting partnership as we always strive to provide true comprehensive physician care service for our members. Our Digital Employee Service is now available not only nationally but also internationally in the US.”

“With 4 million covered lives in the US and a strong international membership, 1.800MD provides telemedicine, behavioral health, and wellness services ideally suited for employees, expatriates, students, mobile workers, and travelers alike. We are excited to partner with Gotodoctor and welcome their members”. Patrick Hrusa, 1800MD VP International Development
