This is impossible for Felix to answer generally, because every insurance company and coverage package is going to look somewhat different from one another.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is an over-the-counter smoking cessation treatment, or quit aid, that delivers nicotine to your body in small amounts to help control cravings by easing the uncomfortable symptoms caused by nicotine withdrawal. These products can gradually replace the need for nicotine in smokers while minimizing exposure to the harmful substances found in cigarettes.
It’s generally safe to combine different forms of nicotine replacement products (the patch with gum, pouches, or lozenges). In fact, it’s often recommended to combine short-acting and long-acting NRTs to increase your chances of quitting successfully.
Smoking cessation treatments may be an option during pregnancy, but it’s crucial to seek in-person medical support to discuss the risks associated with treatment. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is a great time to quit smoking, though counselling is recommended first. If this quit approach does not work for you, it’s recommended you speak with your healthcare provider about quit aids like NRTs. Felix does not currently provide support for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
There are many treatments known to be effective for smoking cessation, and choosing the right treatment or combination of treatments often depends on personal preference, lifestyle, or previous quit attempts. Quit aids such as nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medication, or supplements are effective smoking cessation treatments and are often used in combination with behavioural therapy and support.

Smoking cessation refers to the process of quitting smoking or becoming smoke-free. This typically involves gradually cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day with the eventual goal of quitting tobacco products completely. Smoking cessation includes overcoming the physical and psychological aspects of nicotine addiction, and many people choose to use quit aids like NRTs or prescription medication to help ease the process.

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.

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.

Go to Treatments, click "View details", and use the "Change my treatment plan" feature to submit a free follow-up visit and request a treatment change with your healthcare practitioner.
Treatment plans written by Felix healthcare practitioners can last up to 12 months from the date of issue.. However, the details and duration of your treatment plan will ultimately be decided by the practitioner who reviews your online visit.
Side effects can differ depending on the treatments you’re taking to alleviate your symptoms.

Other common side effects could range from mood changes, PMS-type symptoms, breast tenderness, bloating, or headaches.
If side effects are intolerable, please talk to your healthcare practitioner to discuss side effect management.
Estrogen is a broader term used to describe the group of hormones that includes estradiol, estriol, and estrone. Estradiol is a specific type of estrogen hormone that is often referred to as the most potent form of estrogen. Estrogen hormones play an important role in reproductive health, as well as other bodily functions like metabolism, regulating temperature, stabilizing mood, and maintaining bone density and cardiovascular health.
During the stages of menopause, your estrogen levels decline. Though this decline is completely natural, it creates hormonal fluctuations that can lead to uncomfortable symptoms. Increasing Estradiol can help balance these fluctuations and alleviate menopause symptoms associated with a lack of estrogen.

Common treatment options for symptoms of menopause include:
- Hormone treatment: A widely used treatment for relieving menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes and vaginal dryness
- Topical treatments: Applied locally to relieve vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and some urinary symptoms
- Non-hormonal medications: typically used for women who cannot take hormones or are allergic to components of the medications.
- Vitamins and supplements like vitamin D and melatonin: Often taken alongside common medications to help maintain overall good health.
- Diet and lifestyle changes: eating nutritious foods that include vitamin D and calcium, as well as regular exercise can help support overall health and immune system

There are 5 pens in each box of Wegovy. Since Wegovy pens are used once weekly, each box of single-use pens should last just over a month.

Though the menopause transition is universal, symptoms can vary widely from person to person. This means everyone’s individual experience is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.
Felix healthcare practitioners are trained in the treatment of menopause symptoms and will work with you to create a care plan that targets each of your symptoms. They’ll also customize your treatment options based on your lifestyle, and adjust your plan as required if your needs or symptoms change.
Felix healthcare practitioners are here to provide you with high-quality on-demand care. Felix healthcare practitioners are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of menopause symptoms. They will be able to give thoughtful medical recommendations, effectively assess your risks based on medical history and provide in-depth answers to all your questions.
After your initial consultation, they’ll be available to chat with you 24/7, which means you can reach out with questions, concerns, or updates whenever you need.
The menopause program has an initial visit fee of $99, which is only charged if your visit is approved and a prescription is issued. This covers:
- Your first consultation with a Felix healthcare practitioner trained in midlife health and the treatment of menopause symptoms
- A symptom-specific treatment plan to suit your individual needs and lifestyle
- Ongoing access to our chat to connect with your practitioner 24/7 for support or to ask them any questions you might have about your treatment

Progesterone is a hormone produced by your ovaries after ovulation. It helps balance estrogen levels during a normal menstrual cycle by regulating the growth of your uterine lining. During perimenopause, more estrogen and less progesterone can lead to longer and heavier periods that can be very uncomfortable. Increasing progesterone can level out hormones, alleviate irregular and painful menstrual cycle symptoms, and avoid unchecked thickening of the uterine lining.
Transgender women, and women who have had a hysterectomy, have a hormonal IUD, or have a congenital absence of the uterus will not need progesterone.
We use long-standing, proven medication options authorized for sale by Health Canada to treat menopause symptoms. Our solutions are the most common and effective medication options for symptoms of menopause as outlined by the latest clinical standards.
As with any medication, there are risks associated with treatment. Our healthcare practitioners are trained to discuss these risks in detail with you and provide a treatment plan that works best with your medical history, symptoms and lifestyle.
Many women manage their symptoms with natural remedies and lifestyle changes, but this doesn’t work for everyone. Clinically proven prescription medications that help manage hormone fluctuations are a primary treatment option to relieve symptoms of menopause.
Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any natural treatments. Herbal supplements, in particular, may interact with other medications and are not subject to the same safety and efficacy regulations as prescription medications.
Clinically proven, prescription medications that help manage hormone fluctuations are the primary treatment option to relieve menopause symptoms.
Depending on the severity of your symptoms, other products, strategies, and lifestyle modifications can also help:
- Nonprescription remedies such as over-the-counter vaginal lubricants (silicone or water-based) or moisturizers with hyaluronic acid can be used as cooling techniques for vasomotor symptoms
- Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding trigger substances like caffeine and alcohol can help support your overall health and reduce stress
- Dietary adjustments such as including more calcium and vitamin D can help maintain a healthy immune system as well as support bone and teeth health
- Mind-body techniques such as yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, and meditation can help manage stress and improve mood
Published in 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative study (WHI) revealed what turned out to be exaggerated risks associated with Hormone Treatment, severely impacting the way menopause is treated for decades to come.
The resulting media storm led to a communications catastrophe that drastically diminished the use of hormone treatments among women and led to the removal of menopause education from the medical curriculum for all Canadian doctors. Even today, menopause is not part of the standard curriculum in most medical schools.
We launched the Felix menopause program because we believe women deserve to know about all their treatment options and have a choice in how they manage their menopause transition.
Felix healthcare practitioners are licensed nurse practitioners (NPs) and doctors (MDs) who have been trained in the treatment of menopause symptoms. In addition to their invaluable clinical experience, they receive intensive training from nationally recognized experts in perimenopause and menopause.
At Felix, we do not require testing to assess or treat menopause symptoms. This phase of life is natural and expected, and clinical guidelines recommend that treatment be prescribed by way of symptom review rather than lab tests or blood work.
The standard recommendation is that if a patient is of an appropriate age to be going through menopause, and no other issues are present, labs testing hormone levels are not necessary and offer little value in diagnosing and treating symptoms normally seen in menopause. Due to fluctuating hormones, testing can end up being misleading and therefore problematic.
Treatment for menopause symptoms can differ in approach depending on the severity of symptoms along with your individual lifestyle and health needs.
At its core, Menopause is about hormone fluctuations. Severe symptoms can be treated by rebalancing hormone levels. Taking hormones can smooth these fluctuations and help relieve symptoms. These medication options typically come in several different forms (pill, patch, cream) to accommodate various lifestyles.
For those who may have milder symptoms, allergies, or cannot take hormonal options, non-hormonal medications designed to treat specific individual symptoms can help alleviate discomfort.
While they don’t target symptoms themselves, some vitamins and supplements can also help your general well-being by contributing to areas like energy levels and sleep.
Connect with a Felix healthcare practitioner trained in menopause symptom management to discuss what treatment options might be right for your symptoms and lifestyle.
Menopause is a natural and expected transition and the process itself does not require treatment. However, menopause can often trigger uncomfortable symptoms that treatment can help alleviate. The need for treatment is based on the severity of symptoms along with their impact on your long-term health and quality of life. For some, symptoms are minimal and treatment may not feel necessary. For others, symptoms can be debilitating and increase your risk for serious health issues, so medical intervention may feel necessary.

Many different symptoms can accompany the menopause transition, but hot flashes and night sweats (also called vasomotor symptoms) are often the most well-known. A hot flash isn’t just a feeling of heat, it’s a wave that envelops the body (typically around the neck and upper chest) and makes it warm to the touch. Night sweats are essentially hot flashes that happen while you’re sleeping.
The mechanisms behind hot flash and night sweat symptoms aren’t fully understood, but we know estrogen plays a role in temperature regulation. This means that a significant drop in estrogen levels can lead to your brain thinking you’re too hot (when you’re not) and it needs to rapidly cool you down. Everyone may experience hot flashes slightly differently, but they can happen anywhere and can often be distressing and unpleasant.
Perimenopause marks the beginning of the menopause transition when the hormone levels in your body start to fluctuate. These fluctuations can trigger a range of symptoms including sleep disruption, mood swings, hot flashes, and night sweats. Perimenopause often starts in the mid-to-late forties (but can begin earlier), and lasts between 1-7 years depending on the person.
Colloquially, menopause is referred to as the entire transition from full ovarian function (ovaries capable of ovulating) to complete cessation (ovaries stop ovulating, meaning no more eggs are developed) — it’s essentially puberty in reverse.
Medically speaking, menopause is just one day — the day twelve months after the final menstrual period. However, the full menopause transition is a continuum involving three stages: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. These three stages will last between one-third to one-half of a woman’s (or anyone with ovaries) life.
This is a question that’s best asked to your insurance provider, since each person’s coverage will look a little different.

Online visits
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.
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 email hello@felixforyou.ca and we’ll look into it.

Great, you’ve already taken the first step! Next, a healthcare practitioner will review your assessment and if necessary, will send you a link to book an online audio or video appointment with them. This appointment will help them determine the best treatment plan for you. If your healthcare practitioner thinks you will benefit from an available medication, they will write you a prescription. Our pharmacy can ship your medication to your home if you would like your medication dispensed through the Felix Pharmacy network.

Pricing and Payment
Felix charges a fee for the online visit. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.
It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be charged once approved. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.
Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily need to pay the full price yourself. If you have insurance, Felix’s partner pharmacies will bill your insurer directly. You may also be eligible for financial support in your province.
Go to Billing, and you will be able to update the credit card information on file.
The cost of the checkup visit varies by category, but in many cases there is no charge, so long as you complete your checkup visit before your current prescription expires.
When you submit an online visit, we pre-authorize your credit card for the amount of the visit. When your visit is denied, we will then release that pre-authorization, however, it can take up to 3 business days for your bank to update your statement to reflect that.
While it is illegal in Canada to display market pricing for prescription medication, you will be able to see the estimated cost of medication during the online visit. The price shown is an estimation and will vary if the healthcare practitioner prescribes you a different medication, or if you have insurance or benefits coverage. All estimated prices shown during the online visit include the pharmacy fill fee based on the refill schedule of your choice.
We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support
Insurance
You will find the official receipt for your medication costs within your package from the pharmacy. This receipt can be used to submit a manual claim directly to your insurance/benefits provider. Future refills will be direct-billed directly to your insurance provider, once you have uploaded your insurance information from the Billing tab of your account.
Go to Billing where you can add or update your insurance information on file.
Medication coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.
The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then ship your medications right to your door 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 shipping your meds.
Insurance coverage for medications through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.
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.
OHIP+ covers some birth control for eligible residents of Ontario who are under 25 years old and do not have private insurance. You can check if your birth control medication is covered here. Make sure to upload your Ontario health card during your online visit so our pharmacy partners can apply your coverage directly.
The coverage you are eligible for will not be deducted until the pharmacy processes your refill, so the price you see in your profile is the estimated maximum medication cost before benefits. Once the pharmacy ships your meds, the actual cost will be displayed for the respective refill.
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.

Prescriptions
Changing medication does legally require a new prescription as the healthcare practitioner will need to both cancel the existing prescription as well as review a health assessment of yours in the context of this different drug.
Go to Treatments, click "View details" on your prescription, and use the "Change my treatment plan" feature to submit a free follow-up visit and request a medication change with your healthcare practitioner.
Once you’ve created your Felix account and set up your medical profile, you can complete an online visit to any of the treatment categories you are eligible for using that same account.
Prescriptions written by Felix healthcare practitioners will last up to 12 months from the date of issue. Generally, your Felix prescription will contain refills for the prescribed medication. However, the amount of medication and the number of refills prescribed will ultimately be decided by the practitioner who reviews your online visit.
We are planning to offer prescriptions for a variety of other everyday ailments. If you want to know when they become available, sign up for our mailing list by creating an account.
Every pharmacy charges a dispensing fee for filling prescriptions. Think of it as a service fee for knowledge and service provided by the pharmacist. If you get your medication through Felix, our pharmacy is still required to charge a fill fee and that fee is included in the price of medication that we display. A $12.00 fill fee is charged for each drug, every time you get a refill.
At this time we are not accepting external patient transfers into the Felix Pharmacy network due to capacity restrictions. We hope to have the capacity to accept your transfer soon.
If your visit is still pending, we recommend you reach out to the prescribing healthcare practitioner directly as they can recommend a similar drug that isn’t backordered. If you have already been approved for a prescription for a backordered drug, a new prescription would be required to change medication. Please reach out to our support team via email at hello@felixforyou.ca or using our live chat feature.
Absolutely. If you would prefer to pick up your medication from a community pharmacy of your choice instead of using free shipping through the Felix network, simply choose the “Pickup at external pharmacy” option on the checkout page of the online visit. If you would like to transfer an existing prescription to your community pharmacy, please contact hello@felixforyou.cafor assistance. Note: We cannot guarantee the prices of pharmacies outside our network.

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.
Felix practitioners are unable to make referrals at this time. We suggest you speak with your family doctor or local walk-in clinic.
