Annual family memberships that offer unlimited consultation can be had for $580.<\/p>\n<p>Maple doctors treat and diagnose anything on a list of ailments, from a coughs and minor cuts to a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted disease, while directing patients with more serious conditions to a walk-in clinic or hospital emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>Belchetz\u00a0said Maple patients leave happy\u00a0and that diagnostic accuracy isn&#8217;t compromised because its doctors aren&#8217;t in the exam room.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re well surpassing what patients get in the hospital system,&#8221; he said.\u00a0&#8220;You have the doctor&#8217;s undivided attention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Belchetz\u00a0said doctors keep the majority of what patients pay, with Maple collecting a &#8220;small fee&#8221; for arranging the visit.<\/p>\n<h2>Visits aren&#8217;t billed through OHIP<\/h2>\n<p>The question remains however, how can Maple charge patients for doctor visits in a country where primary patient care is supposed to be provided by a publicly funded healthcare system?<\/p>\n<p>Doctors can only charge the\u00a0Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for doctor visits that happen in person. At the same time, doctors can charge for services that aren&#8217;t insurable under the provincial plan.<\/p>\n<p>Belchetz\u00a0says he&#8217;d love to see Maple patients be able to bill OHIP for their visits.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government is very specific,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you are not seeing a doctor physically in the same room, that it&#8217;s not an insured service and they will not pay for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Questions about two-tiered health care<\/h2>\n<p>Not everyone is happy with Maple&#8217;s business model.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie Mehra is the\u00a0executive director with the Ontario Health Coalition, a watchdog group with a mandate to preserve access to public health care.<\/p>\n<p>She said while technology should be used to save money and expand patient access, Maple only benefits patients who can afford it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It violates the idea that health care should be accessible to everybody on equal terms and conditions,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra\u00a0said she worries that poorer Ontarians, seniors in particular, won&#8217;t\u00a0benefit from a service like Maple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sickest suffer the most when you bring in user fees for health care while the wealthy use it to jump the queue,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra\u00a0plans to raise the issue with Ontario&#8217;s health ministry. She wants to see an OHIP\u00a0billing code created that would allow doctors to bill the province for online visits. Otherwise, she says services like Maple should be shut down.<\/p>\n<p>The health ministry says it&#8217;s monitoring health providers like Maple.<\/p>\n<p>The province does offer its own service for doctor visits via teleconference called Telemedicine, but Belchetz\u00a0said it requires doctors to use the government&#8217;s network, while Maple can be accessed using any computer.<\/p>\n<p>Belchetz\u00a0says his service is expanding, and part of a future where tools like Bluetooth-enabled thermometers will smash the idea that doctor care has to happen inside an exam room.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no limit to the kind of providers that can be on a platform like this,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/london\/maple-health-online-doctor-visits-1.4194285\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Click here for original article<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(July 10, 2017) By: Andrew Lupton,\u00a0CBC News Critics say Maple only improves doctor access for those who can afford it Tired of seeing his patients wait hours in an emergency room\u00a0to see a doctor about a minor ailment\u00a0or a prescription re-fill, Dr.\u00a0Brett Belchetz\u00a0felt there must be a better way.
