1) If the symptoms and medical history require an in-person evaluation, the physician will provide the patient with a «Recommendation for Care» for an in-person appointment.
2) Following the consultation, once the «Recommendation for Care» has been obtained, the patient will be able to contact a Maple navigator who will assist the patient in booking a consultation at a clinic.
3) The clinic will contact the patient directly to confirm the details of their appointment and associated fees.
