November 22, 2022 – Gotodoctor.ca, a leading healthcare solution company in Canada, is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Simply Benefits, a BC-based Third Party Payor (TPP) providing digital employee health benefits for employers.

Gotodoctor.ca is proud to be partnering with its first Third Party Payor (TPP) and will be providing its service to both Simply Benefits’ employees and its clients. This follows another milestone with the successful implementation for Manitoba Blue Cross this year. Members not only have access to the unique virtual/in-person physician service through the Gotodoctor.ca platform, but they will also benefit from pharmacy prescription discount and future integration with other vital employee benefits services, including and not limited to mental health and wellness coaching. 

Gotodoctor.ca’s service platform already connects to an estimate of over 400,000 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 service distribution model that goes beyond virtual care and enables patients to receive comprehensive care from physicians, pharmacists, and health professionals on-site. Its in-house developed Service Engine, a core differentiating factor for Gotodoctor.ca, also allows for full algorithmic customization and analytics to fulfill physician and health service needs and drive better patient health outcomes.

“Partnering with Simply Benefits is another significant achievement for the Gotodoctor.ca team, as it represents a new distribution channel for our platform to service even more patients,” said Tommy Cheung, CEO of Gotodoctor.ca. “We are excited to see the adoption and recognition of our service model by the insurance partners. It also aligns well with our plan to expand services into western provinces and across the country.”

“Keeping a focus on putting people and service first, we’re excited about adding Gotodoctor.ca’s services for our clients,” said Yanneth Tobar, Chief Insurance Officer of Simply Benefits. “The enhanced access to quality virtual and in-person healthcare with Gotodoctor.ca will serve to provide our staff, current members, and future clients with an additional level of comfort in their comprehensive healthcare plans.”
