Prescription Coordination While Visiting PEI
If you are an international visitor traveling in Prince Edward Island and have questions regarding non-emergency medical visits or prescription renewal options while away from home, you may use PEIDoctor’s healthcare coordination service to request a private-pay consultation with an independent licensed nurse or physician. A nurse may help you better understand available healthcare options and appropriate next steps. Where clinically appropriate and permitted under applicable regulations, an independent licensed physician may determine whether a prescription is appropriate following assessment. Where appropriate and permitted, we may also assist with pharmacy coordination, medication pickup, and local delivery arrangements. Availability may vary based on provider assessment, pharmacy policies, medication type, and location.
