Accessing Saxenda in Vancouver

Are you one of the 700,000 people in Vancouver and Fraser Health that don’t have a family doctor? Did you know that the provincial health registry used to help connect patients with practitioners is now booking years ahead, not just months? This can make it quite daunting thinking about seeking the medical services you need to stay healthy and active.

Well now, Felix is making it quick and seamless for patients in Vancouver to request health assessments from the comfort and privacy of your own home, and on your schedule. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful views, while also taking back control of your health, so you can get back to living life on your terms - the way it should be.

SIDE NOTE: Felix does not offer emergency healthcare services. If you’re dealing with a medical emergency, you should always call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital ER.

General information

What is Saxenda?

Saxenda is actually a brand name, believe it or not, for a medication called liraglutide. However, both liraglutide (the generic name) and Saxenda, contain the same active ingredients.

Saxenda treatments are designed to be used alongside other healthy lifestyle habits to help provide the best overall health results, such as: a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and regular, healthy sleep patterns.

When you buy Saxenda online in Vancouver from Felix, your prescription packaging will include instructions on how to use your treatments, but if you have any other questions about Saxenda treatments or how they work, feel free to ask your practitioner during your assessment discussion.

How to get a prescription for Saxenda in Vancouver

Not to worry, though, because your practitioner will be able to go through the expected cost of your Saxenda treatments during your assessment discussion, factoring in these other elements for you to give you an accurate price estimate.

What are the eligibility requirements for Saxenda?

Sub-copy: This is actually two different questions. In order to be eligible to request an assessment from Felix, you need to be over the age of 18 and live within Vancouver.

If you meet those criteria, then the next question becomes whether or not Saxenda treatments would be the right type of medication for you, or whether an alternative might make more sense for your unique needs.

Questions About Saxenda? We Have Answers

Saxenda

What is the generic name for Saxenda?

Liraglutide is the generic name for Saxenda treatments, while Saxenda is a brand name under which liraglutide is sold.

Both of these treatments contain the same active ingredients, but it will be up to your practitioner to determine which of these two (or an alternative) would be the right type of treatment for you.

What happens if you miss a Saxenda dose?

Nothing instantaneous or dangerous, so it’s important not to panic if you’ve missed a dose of Saxenda.

If you remember about the missed dose within a day or two of the date it would have normally been taken, you should take it as soon as you remember. If it’s any closer than that to your next scheduled dosage, you should simply skip the missed dose and take the next one at its regular time.

This is because it could be unsafe to take two doses of Saxenda too close together, and it definitely will NOT increase the effectiveness of your treatments. In fact, it will largely just increase your risks of experiencing negative side effects.

If you’ve missed a dose, and you’re unsure about how to proceed, you should consider contacting your practitioner for more information. They’ll be able to give you whatever guidance you need to continue making healthy, safe choices with your treatments.

Are there alternatives if Saxenda is unavailable?

Yes, in the event that Saxenda is not available in Saxenda from Felix for your during your assessment discussion, your practitioner may suggest alternatives that may be either safer or more effective treatment options for you, such as:

  • Ozempic
  • Semaglutide
  • Tirzepatide
  • Liraglutide

During your virtual Saxenda consultation, your clinician will discuss with you what treatments would make the most sense for you, when you can’t buy Saxenda online in Vancouver from Felix.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please reach out to our Patient Support team through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of your account or our Contact Us page.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Shipping

How long will it take to get my treatment?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-4 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How much does it cost to ship my treatment?

There is currently no cost to have your treatment shipped to you from our Felix Pharmacy network.

Insurance

Am I covered by my insurance?

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.

Felix 101

What is Felix?

Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a treatment plan for certain conditions, but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a lifestyle treatment safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about your current treatments or treatment plans.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialists to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Our Healthcare Practitioners

How do I communicate with my Felix practitioner?

Your Felix practitioner will message you via secure instant message. You’ll receive an email when you have a new message and can respond to these from within your Felix account.

Can I see the same Felix practitioner after my initial assessment?

You will have the ability to chat with your designated Felix practitioner for the entirety of your prescription length. When your prescription is nearing completion, we will email you to submit a checkup visit so one of our prescribers can renew your prescription. 

Our matching system is based on availability, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be paired with the same healthcare practitioner at your renewal visit.

Who are the practitioners that will be reviewing my online visit?

They are all licensed, real Canadian healthcare practitioners! All online visits submitted via Felix are reviewed by them and they must be licensed in your province to prescribe you the medication. It is these healthcare practitioners, and not Felix, who determine whether or not to write you a prescription, as well as the appropriate dosage (where applicable).

What does your medical team do?

Our medical team and board members help oversee each of our treatments to ensure our medical assessments are thorough, safe, personalized, and provide best-in-class care. Our pharmacists provide treatment support through medication counselling and education.
