You might be surprised by the wide range of conditions Bettr can take care of for you. As long as it’s not a medical emergency, our clinicians can help you with a wide range of health issues and healthcare services such as medical certificates, lab tests, referral to specialists, WINZ forms, allergies, allergic reactions, rashes, itchy skin and skin problems, respiratory problems, coughs, cold and flu, and more.
Many other conditions not listed will be fine for online support too. If your clinician thinks you need a face-to-face consultation for further treatment, they will discuss this with you during your consult to arrange the best next steps.
If you are enrolled with a clinic in our network, your health records securely travel with you, so we can view your latest lab results and prescriptions for seamless, connected care.

FAQs
-
No, Bettr can assist with a wide range of healthcare needs that don't require a physical examination. This includes allergies, rashes, respiratory problems, coughs, colds, flu, medical certificates, prescriptions, and more. If a physical examination is needed, the Clinician will advise you on the next steps, which may involve an in-person visit.
-
If a follow-up is needed, the Bettr clinician will discuss the best options with you, which may include another online consultation or an in-person visit to a clinic.
-
Our clinicians are experienced in conducting thorough assessments via video and phone consultations, asking detailed questions about your symptoms and medical history. For many common conditions, a physical examination is not always necessary for diagnosis and treatment. If a physical examination is required, the clinician will advise you to visit a clinic in person.

Vaccinations require an in-person visit to a clinic as they need to be administered by a healthcare professional.
