Maple Partners with ivari to Provide Virtual Care Access for Eligible Critical Illness Policyholders

Those covered can access virtual healthcare and expert medical opinions from the comfort of their homes

TORONTO, Feb. 8, 2022 /CNW/ - Insurance provider ivari has selected Maple, Canada's leading virtual care platform, as their partner to support existing and new individual critical illness policyholders with access to medical advice, prescriptions, and more.

"When managing a chronic condition, or dealing with an acute medical concern, we want Canadians to have the best care possible, as soon as possible," says Amii Stephenson, Maple's Senior Director of Business Development. "This unique partnership with ivari provides those insured under critical illness policies with access to around the clock, virtual healthcare through Maple."

Critical Illness Policyholders with ivari have access to online on-demand general practitioner visits, 24/7/365. Maple's network of diverse Canadian-licensed general practitioners offer their services in both English and French and are committed to helping patients across the country achieve better health outcomes.

Through this program, ivari policyholders will also be able to access expert medical opinions.
