Review & communicate results

The NP reviews all results with your patient at a scheduled follow-up or recall appointment. Serious or critical findings trigger immediate patient contact.

Clinically managed follow-up

📄

Formal clinical documentation

Every visit is charted to stand-alone regulatory standards. You are kept informed in a manner consistent with the referral arrangement you set.

Structured to your referral type

You define the relationship

You set the reason for referral and the outcome you are looking for. Whether you want to co-manage, transfer a specific area of care, or refer for a one-time intervention – our NP assesses, documents, and works within the structure you set.

You stay informed

Your practice receives clinical documentation consistent with the referral arrangement you set. Your patient receives a plain-language summary through our secure patient portal after each visit. Full documentation flowing both ways.

Fully documented & compliant

Every visit is charted to stand-alone regulatory standards. The NP sees the patient before ordering anything. No rubber-stamping, no shortcuts.

Simple to refer. Thorough in practice.

Designed to minimize your administrative burden while ensuring the NP has everything needed to provide defensible, high-quality specialist care.

01

You send a referral

Fax your completed referral letter using our standardized template. Include patient details, current medications, reason for referral, and desired outcome.

02

We contact your patient

Our admin team books the initial NP assessment and assigns consent and intake forms. Consent must be completed 48 hours before the appointment.

03

NP assessment & orders

The NP personally assesses your patient via video, establishes a clinical relationship, orders required labs or imaging, and builds a plan aligned with your referral goals.

04

Report faxed to you

A formal clinical note is sent to your practice consistent with the referral arrangement you set. Serious or critical findings trigger immediate follow-up with the patient.

Built for collaborative clinical practice

Accepted referral sources

This program is designed for licensed healthcare practitioners whose patients would benefit from NP-level prescribing or diagnostic scope – particularly where your own scope does not include prescription management, referral management, or public health lab requisitions.

Naturopathic Doctors (NDs)
Medical Doctors (MDs)
Acupuncturists
Physiotherapists
Psychologists

Not eligible

Patients cannot self-refer. A licensed clinician must initiate and maintain an active referral relationship for specialist pricing to apply.

You set the structure. We work within it.

The Nurse Practitioner Specialist Referral program is structured as a true consultative referral model – consistent with regulatory college standards for referral, consultation, and continuity of care. Depending on your patient’s needs, you can refer for a one-time intervention, ongoing co-management, or a full transfer of a specific area of care.

Our program solves the most common ceiling in natural medicine – your patient is ready for prescription management or hormone therapy, but your prescribing scope doesn’t cover it. This program bridges that gap cleanly, with the NP working within the referral structure you define.

Transparent pricing

All fees are paid directly by the patient.

Appointment type Duration Patient fee Notes
NP Specialist Assessment 30 min $224 Initial visit. Referring clinician and referral documentation must be on file.
NP Specialist Reassessment 15–60 min $174–$324 Duration at NP sole clinical discretion.
15-min reassessment 15 min $174 Rx check, simple follow-up
30-min reassessment 30 min $224 Labs review, standard reassessment
45-min reassessment 45 min $274 Additional labs or complex concerns
60-min reassessment 60 min $324 Complex or multi-issue reassessment

Appointment fees cover the full block of clinical time reserved for your patient. This includes time spent directly with the NP as well as time used to review records, manage prescriptions, complete documentation, and carry out other clinical tasks that support your patient’s care. Not every minute of the duration is a face to face clinical encounter.

Common questions from referring clinicians

No. External referrals from any licensed practitioner are accepted. The process is straightforward: a standardized referral template captures the clinical question, relevant history, and co-management expectations upfront, so the NP has everything needed to assess your patient and return a consultation note to you.

Patient name, DOB, contact details, healthcare number, current medications, known allergies, past and current medical history, reason for referral, desired outcome, and the report-back format you’d like. Our template guides you through all of this.

It depends on the referral. For most referrals, yes the NP functions as a consultant, assessing the patient for the specific clinical question referred and working alongside you as their primary provider. In some cases, such as when a patient is transitioning a specific area of care to the NP’s ongoing management, the NP assumes clinical responsibility for that area while you remain their provider for everything else. You define the structure when you refer, and the program accommodates all arrangements.

The report-back structure depends on the referral arrangement you set. For co-managed patients, your practice receives a formal clinical note after each NP visit covering the clinical question assessed, findings, any investigations ordered, and the recommended follow-up plan. For a full transfer of care, you receive an initial consultation note and are notified of any material clinical developments. For one-time episodic referrals, you receive a note at the conclusion of the episode. Serious or critical findings always trigger immediate follow-up with the patient regardless of care model.

Yes. As a regulated nurse practitioner, when appropriate, the NP can order testing through the publicly funded lab system. This is a byproduct of the NP’s scope of practice, not the purpose of the referral. Patients are referred to the NP because the clinical question warrants an independent specialist assessment – the lab order flows from that assessment, not the other way around.

Patients are directed to contact you first with any questions or concerns about their prescription or care. If you determine a change to the care plan is needed, you can send us an updated note and we will act on it. For urgent concerns, patients are advised to seek emergency care as appropriate.

With a unique blend of experience in primary care, mental health, occupational health, and various nursing specialties, Sarah brings a holistic and collaborative approach to addressing the health needs of her patients.

Graduating from Athabasca University in 2020 with a focus on primary care for all ages, Sarah’s passion for healthcare began long before.

As a Registered Nurse since 2012, Sarah has gained extensive experience in medical/surgical nursing, palliative care, addiction and mental health, home care, and long-term care. Her commitment to education led her to teach supportive living sites across Alberta about proper antipsychotic use and dementia care. Most recently, Sarah worked in acute mental health, emergency, rural, and outpost nursing in various locations throughout British Columbia, further expanding her skill set.

Sarah’s experiences in OH&S in the oilfield and primary care have sparked her interest in addressing the unique barriers men face when accessing care services and the importance of women’s health and hormone balance.

This knowledge allows Sarah to empower her patients with life-changing information and drive protocols and results based on academic journals and peer-reviewed content.

When not dedicating herself to her patients, Sarah is a proud mother of a 15-year-old son and an avid Edmonton Oilers fan. Together, they are learning to become pilots, showcasing Sarah’s love for travel and her commitment to personal growth alongside her professional development.
