If I get sick, can I see a doctor using my guard.me@SFU insurance or BC Medical Services Plan?
Yes, you may use your primary medical insurance to visit a doctor. Please see the following resources for accessing primary medical care.
- Medical clinics at SFU Health and Counselling Services
- Neighbourhood walk-in clinics
- Urgent and Primary Care Centres
- If you are insured by guard.me@SFU and are unwell, you can access mobileDOCTOR by guard.me for consultation with a doctor from your home. You need to have your policy number as well as a list of your symptoms and how long you have had them to speak with a doctor. For more information visit the guard.me@SFU website.
For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room right away.
