Government is expanding the coverage for drivers’ medical examinations for eligible seniors to include exams performed through the Newfoundland and Labrador Virtual Care Program.

Teladoc providers will complete the drivers’ medical examination report and will also coordinate in-person completion of a guided physical and eye examination. The cost of the drivers’ medical examination, for eligible patients, is covered as an insured service. Residents must be registered on Patient Connect NL to request a drivers’ medical examination appointment.
