Overview

Tia Health runs a telehealth platform in Canada that connects residents with licensed physicians for non-emergency care through video or phone consultations. Its service covers prescription renewals, specialist referrals, and medical advice, and it uses a direct-to-consumer model. In Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia, visits are covered by provincial health plans, making the service free for eligible residents; elsewhere, a fee-for-service option is available. The dual revenue model enables broad reach across provinces. The platform digitizes the consultation process to provide convenient, timely access to healthcare and aims to reduce wait times associated with traditional clinics, positioning itself in Canada’s growing telehealth market.
