ADHD care should not depend on your postal code

FasTreat provides eligible Alberta adults and children ages 6+ with online ADHD care from regulated healthcare professionals. Depending on your clinical needs and provider availability, care may include assessment, diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan and follow-up. No family doctor referral is required.

Yes. Eligible Alberta patients can begin without a family doctor or referral. FasTreat may support an ADHD-specific pathway while you look for ongoing primary care, but it does not replace comprehensive family medicine.

Across FasTreat's Canadian service, most patients wait less than 24 hours to see a provider. This figure is updated periodically and is not a guarantee; Alberta availability varies with provider authorization, location and demand. The Alberta Medical Association's 2026 report found that 29% of Albertans looking for a family doctor reported that none were accepting new patients in their area.

Virtual appointments may be available to eligible patients across Alberta, including rural and remote communities. Access depends on provider authorization, availability, clinical suitability and whether appropriate local follow-up can be arranged.

Alberta patients are matched with healthcare professionals authorized to care for patients in the province, including physicians, nurse practitioners and psychiatrists where clinically appropriate and available. You'll see your provider's name and professional title before your appointment; availability varies.

Verify physicians through the CPSA Physician Directory. Nurse practitioners can be verified through Verify a Nurse, the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta's public register.

Yes. For an Alberta appointment through FasTreat, you must be physically located in Alberta at the time of the visit. This allows FasTreat to confirm eligibility and connect you with a provider authorized to care for patients in the province.

A provider may prepare supporting documentation for a school or workplace accommodation request when clinically appropriate. This is not guaranteed and depends on the provider's assessment, the information available and the receiving organization's requirements. Share any required form or format with your provider for review.

Medication may be considered after a clinical assessment when your provider determines that it is appropriate and safe. Medication is not suitable for everyone, and a prescription is never guaranteed. Some patients may require an in-person assessment, additional testing or local follow-up.

If your provider determines that medication is appropriate and issues a prescription, it can be sent to the Alberta pharmacy you select. FasTreat pharmacy partners also offer delivery options and coordinated service for members.

No. A diagnosis and any treatment recommendation depend on your clinical assessment, safety considerations and the provider's professional judgment. You may be referred for additional testing, specialist care or an in-person assessment.

No. FasTreat is a private, self-pay service and is not currently covered by Alberta's provincial health plan. You will receive a receipt that you may submit to private insurance or a health spending account. Eligibility for reimbursement depends on your plan.

Coverage depends on the medication, your eligibility for an Alberta supplementary drug benefit program and current listing criteria. Check the Alberta Drug Benefit List or contact your private insurer for details. Medication costs are separate from FasTreat service fees.

Possibly. With your consent, FasTreat can provide a clinical summary and recommendations. Your family doctor will decide whether to assume prescribing or participate in shared care based on their clinical judgment and practice policies.
