Allergy Concerns: How This Works
Is my allergy concern treated at DermCafé?
The most common allergy concerns treated at DermCafé include:
Itchy skin swellings (hives)
Reactions to food, bugs or medications
Sneezing, runny nose, congestion
Asthma concerns
Angioedema counseling
Anaphyalxis counseling
If, during your virtual Allergy appointment, it is determined that you need skin testing, an in-person appointment in Toronto will be arranged for you
What can I expect for my experience?
First, you will submit your info & photos
Then, choose to either receive the Allergist's Consultation within 24 hrs guaranteed, or to book a live video appointment
Everything (including prescriptions) can be accessed on your DermCafé Portal, which you get access to after the first experience
Is there a fee?
It depends on your selected service & province.
If you have a valid OHIP, UHIP, MSP, AHS, or ALUMO (previously Morcare) card, there is no fee for Medical Video appointments.
Rapid Assessments are not covered by any provincial insurance
How long is the wait?
This also depends on your service & province.
DermCafé offers unparalleled rapid access in Canada to allergy services, ranging from a 24hr guaranteed response via a Rapid Assessment, to wait-times of 1-2 weeks for Video Appointments with provincial & student insurances.
