Cardiology Now

What Cardiology Now does

Cardiology Now is a Toronto-headquartered, Ontario-focused virtual specialty care provider that delivers OHIP-covered telemedicine consultations in cardiology, internal medicine, and respirology. Founded in 2020 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL), it operates a virtual-first model: patients obtain a signed requisition from a family doctor, walk-in clinic, or nurse practitioner and are booked for video or telephone consultations with a team of 20+ certified Ontario-based specialists, typically within five business days. Comprehensive consult notes are returned to the referring physician within two to three business days. In-person cardiology consultations and cardiac diagnostic testing — including Nuclear Cardiology (MPI), ECG, Vascular Ultrasound, Stress Testing (GXT), Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, and Holter Monitoring — are delivered through a partnership with WELL Health Diagnostic Centres at 40+ accredited Ontario locations.

The underlying technology is a lightweight virtual consultation platform accessible via email link with PIN authentication, integrated for referrals through EMR e-form connections to the three dominant Ontario primary-care systems (Accuro, Oscar, PS Suite). Referral intake is accepted via email, fax, and these EMR integrations; direct patient booking is available by phone. A supporting partnership with MyDoctor Now provides same-day OHIP-covered telephone assessments so that patients without a family doctor can obtain a signed requisition. The platform operates entirely within Ontario and is governed by Ontario's regulatory and reimbursement framework.

Cardiology Now's revenue model is fee-for-service OHIP billing: all consultations and covered diagnostic tests are billed directly to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan for patients with a valid Ontario health card, eliminating out-of-pocket patient cost. The customer base is broadly distributed across Ontario patients requiring expedited specialist access, with go-to-market driven primarily by healthcare-provider referrals, the company's own website/SEO presence, and a strong patient reputation (4.9/5 across 1,715 Google Reviews). Financial reporting is consolidated within the WELL Health Technologies parent, and no standalone revenue or margin figures are disclosed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Tia Health: Canadian telemedicine platform connecting patients to specialists and family doctors via phone or video. Comparable in providing OHIP-covered virtual specialty access in Ontario and competing for the same referral-driven patient base.
• Maple: Canadian virtual care platform offering on-demand physician consultations. While Maple is broader in primary care, it is the most direct peer in the Canadian virtual-specialist care space and competes for the same Ontario patient pool seeking fast access to physicians.
• Akira by TELUS Health: Canadian virtual and in-person primary/specialty care provider under TELUS Health. Competes for the same Ontario patient demographic seeking expedited access to physicians, with multi-language support and direct-to-patient booking.
• WELL Health VirtualClinic+: Sister platform within WELL Health Technologies' portfolio offering virtual consultations. Operates within the same parent ecosystem and shares OHIP billing infrastructure, making it an internal comparator for virtual specialty care delivery in Canada.
• EQ Virtual (Equinoxe Virtual Care): Canadian virtual clinic offering OHIP-covered specialist consultations. Operates a similar referral-to-virtual-specialist model in Ontario and is a direct competitor for cardiology and internal medicine consultations.

Broad incumbents

• TELUS Health MyCare: Telus-owned virtual care platform offering primary and specialty consultations across Canada, including in Ontario. Larger incumbent with deeper resources, broader specialty coverage, and integrated EMR/payer relationships.
• Appletree Medical Group: Large multi-disciplinary Canadian medical group providing in-person and virtual care, including specialist services, in Ontario. Provides comparable specialist access workflows and competes for primary care-driven referrals.
• Ontario Health (OTN) — Virtual Care Solutions: Ontario's public-sector virtual care platform. Provides government-funded specialist virtual visits across Ontario and represents the structural public-sector competitor to private cardiology telehealth services.

Others

• MyDoctor Now: Canadian same-day OHIP-covered telephone assessment service that partners with Cardiology Now to issue signed requisitions for patients without a family doctor. A channel partner rather than direct competitor, but operates in adjacent virtual primary care for the same Ontario patient pool.

Emerging players

• Babylon Health (Canada operations): International virtual care provider that operated in Canada offering AI-assisted triage and consultations. While its Canadian footprint has fluctuated, it represents a comparable direct-to-consumer virtual specialty care model.
