100% virtual care

A virtual option across a large, polycentric northern city.

MedVibe provides private virtual care to eligible adults physically located in Québec. There is no MedVibe office in Saguenay. Your focused request is submitted online and reviewed by a licensed clinician, with a call or video visit when appropriate.

Saguenay brings together Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie, along with sectors such as Laterrière, Canton Tremblay, Lac-Kénogami and Shipshaw. Because the territory is spread across distinct urban centres and outlying communities, online intake can be useful for an appropriate need that does not require hands-on examination.

The service can support selected prescription renewals, medical documentation, laboratory questions and general consultations, but no document, requisition, test or prescription is guaranteed. If your symptoms require examination, imaging, emergency care or ongoing family medicine, the clinician directs you toward a more suitable pathway.

How it works

One focused request, reviewed by a real clinician.

MedVibe handles a specific care request; it does not enrol you in comprehensive, longitudinal family medicine.

  1. Describe the concern

    Choose a service and submit the information needed for a safe initial review — the online intake is open 24/7.

  2. A licensed clinician reviews it

    The clinician determines whether virtual care is suitable and may ask for more information or recommend in-person care. Response times vary with clinician availability and the nature of the request.

  3. Receive clear next steps

    When clinically appropriate, your care plan or document is delivered securely. Otherwise, you are directed to a more suitable care setting.

Before requesting care in Saguenay

What to know before you start.

  • Eligible adults physically located in Québec at the time of care may request service, including residents, students, visitors, and tourists. Location, service suitability, and clinician authorization are confirmed before care.
  • Care is delivered in English or French — choose your preferred language during intake.
  • If a prescription is appropriate, it can be sent to your chosen Québec pharmacy in Chicoutimi, Jonquière, La Baie or another community. Pharmacy stock and acceptance are not guaranteed.
  • Lab requisitions, when issued, can be redeemed at participating laboratories across Québec.
  • MedVibe is a private clinic and does not bill RAMQ for these consultations; private fees are shown clearly up front.
  • All prescriptions, notes, requisitions, and treatment plans are provided only when clinically appropriate and at the clinician's discretion.
Online intake is open 24/7; clinician response times vary with availability and the nature of the request.

Local questions

Virtual care in Saguenay — local questions

No. MedVibe is fully virtual and does not claim a Saguenay office. The online pathway is for focused, non-urgent adult needs that a clinician considers suitable for remote care. In-person examination and emergency care remain with local resources.

Yes, the same Québec eligibility applies throughout Saguenay's three boroughs and surrounding sectors. You must be physically in Québec when care is delivered, and the requested service must fit the clinician's scope and be available.

It can avoid an unnecessary trip when the concern is non-urgent and suitable for remote assessment. Distance does not make every need appropriate for telehealth: examination, imaging, serious symptoms and some tests still require an in-person public or local resource.

You name the Québec pharmacy you prefer. If the clinician issues an appropriate prescription, MedVibe can send it there. Use the official Québec health-resource directory to find options; MedVibe does not rank pharmacies or guarantee hours, stock, acceptance or reimbursement.
