How does Felix provide a personalized treatment plan?

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.

What kind of support can I expect from my practitioner?

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.

How much does the program cost?

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:

  1. Your first consultation with a Felix healthcare practitioner trained in midlife health and the treatment of menopause symptoms
  2. A symptom-specific treatment plan to suit your individual needs and lifestyle 
  3. 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
  4. Free shipping and automatic refills of your chosen treatment option

If required, you can book additional follow-up visits with your practitioner for $40/visit — though if things are going well with your treatment these may not be necessary. 

Medication costs for the program are separate and will vary depending on the medication prescribed and your private insurance coverage. Medications authorized for sale by Health Canada are likely to be covered by your insurance provider, and we can bill them directly.

What is progesterone?

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.

Is menopause treatment safe for me?

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.

Can menopause be treated naturally?

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.

What helps relieve menopause symptoms?

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
What about the Women’s Health Initiative results?

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.

Who are Felix menopause healthcare practitioners? How are they trained?

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.

Do I require lab testing or blood work for menopause treatment?

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.

How can menopause be treated?

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.

Does menopause require treatment?

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. 

Connect with a Felix healthcare practitioner trained in menopause symptom management to discuss what treatment options might be right for you.

What are hot flashes?

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.

What is perimenopause?

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.  

Find out more information about perimenopause.

What is menopause?

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.

Absolutely. The rosacea assessment you will complete via Felix requires you to upload photos of your skin for the heatlthcare practitioner to review.

During your assessment, the healthcare practitioner may also follow up with questions via the secure chat.

What triggers rosacea?

A trigger is anything that causes the flushing, blushing and skin changes of rosacea. Often a change in body temperature — usually getting hotter — is involved.  Rosacea may be triggered by a variety of environmental and lifestyle factors as well.

Environmental triggers could include:

  • Sun — Sun protection, especially for the face, is a must for rosacea sufferers.
  • Cold weather — Canada’s winters are not kind to those with rosacea. Dry, cold air is harsh on the skin and triggers flare-ups and flushing.
  • Hot, indoor spaces — Warm, crowded places can easily trigger a rosacea outbreak.

Lifestyle triggers could include:

  • Alcohol — Avoid or minimize alcohol as this is a common trigger. Red wine is a frequently reported culprit.
  • Spicy food — Curries and foods, dressings, or sauces made with chillies and hot or peppery spices or flavourings can trigger outbreaks.
  • Emotions — Stress is a major cause of rosacea flare-ups.
  • Skincare — Products that irritate the skin (sting or burn) including those containing alcohol and witch hazel.
  • Exercise — Heavy exercise can easily trigger rosacea symptoms.
  • Hot baths or saunas — Hot baths, showers, saunas, or hot tubs can bring on flushing.
  • Hot drinks — Very hot drinks are a sure way to feel hot and set off flushing.

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.

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.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a prescription to certain medications but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a prescription lifestyle medication 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 the medications you are currently using.

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 specialist 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.

We cannot ship medication outside of these provinces at this time.

Online visits
How does this 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 determines 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 about your medication or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

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

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.

I completed my online visit. Now what?

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.

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

No. A prescription written by a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all medication currently provided through Felix’s service. If you already have a prescription with at least one refill remaining, you can transfer it to the Felix Pharmacy network.

Please email our Customer Support team at hello@felixforyou.ca and they will be able to assist you with the transfer.

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.

What courier do you use for shipping?

What do I do if my package was returned to Felix?

We’ll contact you via email if your package is returned to us!

For most treatments, your meds will be destroyed 1 month after your fill date should you fail to respond to Felix Customer Support or contact the partner pharmacy. Temperature controlled medications may have a reduced reshipment eligibility window due to their limited shelf life, in accordance with product guidelines. All reshipments are at the discretion of a pharmacist's professional judgment.

If you require assistance with a returned package, please contact our Customer Support Team at hello@felixforyou.ca as soon as possible.

How many days do I have to notify you of an undelivered or lost package, or damaged medication?

I received an email with a tracking number but it doesn't seem to be working!

Your tracking number will be activated when the courier picks up your shipment from the pharmacy. Please allow until 6 pm the following business day, and you should then be able to see the status of your package. If the tracking number still isn’t working, please email hello@felixforyou.caand we’ll look into it.

How long will it take to get my medication?

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

What happens if there isn’t anyone available for the delivery?

All Felix packages require a signature on delivery. If this cannot be collected, your package will be available at the closest post office for pick up. Usually, packages are available for up to 14 days after the first attempted delivery. If you don’t pick up your package within the allotted time, it will be returned to the sender, which may cause a further delay in your delivery.

Pricing and Payment

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.

How much will my medication cost?

It depends. Medication costs vary from treatment to treatment but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your medication before insurance, during the online visit but will only be charged once approved. Once approved, your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy and we will process the payment and fill the prescription 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.

How do I change my credit card information?

Go to Billing, and you will be able to update the credit card information on file.

How much does a checkup visit cost?

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.

Why do I see a transaction on my credit card for my denied online visit?

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.

Why can’t I see medication prices on the website?

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.

When am I charged?

You will be charged for the online visit as soon as it is approved by the healthcare practitioner. From there, and after your prescription is activated by the pharmacy, you will be charged the medication cost for each shipment based on your chosen refill schedule. If you have provided insurance or benefits coverage details, it will be applied according to your plan.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

Insurance
I forgot to upload my insurance information before my first fill was charged. What can I do now?

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.

I didn’t have insurance when I first got my prescription, but now I have it. What do I do?

Go to Billing where you can add or update your insurance information on file.

Am I covered by my insurance?

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.

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 birth control covered by OHIP in Ontario?

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.

I uploaded my insurance information during my online visit but still see a cost for the medication in my profile.

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.

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.

My insurance provider needs a physician to fill out a form before they will cover my medication costs. Can this be done through Felix?

Yes, but at the discretion of our medical team. Please email hello@felixforyou.ca to make a request and attach all applicable forms with the Patient / Plan member sections filled out and signed. If the healthcare practitioner agrees to complete the form, a $25 fee per page will apply.

Prescriptions
How do I change my medication after it has been prescribed?

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.

How do I apply for multiple treatments?

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.

How long does a prescription last?

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.

What other medications will become available via Felix?

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.

What is the pharmacy fill fee?

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.

I already have a prescription, can I transfer it to Felix?

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.

I don’t want to wait to receive the backordered drug I selected, what should I do?

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.

Can I pick up my medication from my own pharmacy?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Can you refer me to a psychiatrist or psychologist?

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

Privacy and Security
Is this legal?

Yes! In Canada, only a licensed healthcare practitioner can write a prescription, and only a registered pharmacist can fill that prescription. We are supported by leaders in the Canadian pharmacology and specialized medical fields. Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic. These practitioners do not provide prescriptions unless they deem it medically safe and appropriate to write them based on your medical profile and assessment answers. Our assessments have been crafted by the experts on our medical team. Finally, all Felix Pharmacies are provincially accredited just like any retail pharmacy.
