WeCare is provided to Canada Life Limited customers by Teladoc Health.  This service is non-contractual and does not form part of your insurance contract with us.  If our partnership with Teladoc Health ends, the service can be withdrawn at any time.

Exceptional service and the consultation was professionally done, I felt no differently than if I'd had a face-to-face appointment and left feeling reassured.
