We do not have a gynecologist on site at Clinique Médicale 360, but our general practitioners offer certain women’s health services. For example, it is possible to do the PAP test. When it is necessary to see a gynecologist, our team can direct you to a gynecology clinic with a doctor’s request.

Are your services covered by my insurance company?
Clinique Médicale 360 does not do business with any insurance company. The billing is paid by the customer and he can subsequently file a claim with his insurance company. Please note that it is important to contact your private insurance company beforehand, as certain services may or may not be reimbursed.
What is a private clinic?
Medical services offered in a private clinic are not covered by the Régie de l’assurance santé du Québec (RAMQ). Fees are paid by clients.
How long is a travel health consultation?
Plan for 30 to 45 minutes. This gives us enough time to review your trip details, assess your health needs, administer any vaccines, and answer your questions.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a travel health consultation directly; no referral is needed.
Are travel health consultations covered by the RAMQ?
Travel health consultations and most travel vaccines are not covered by RAMQ. This is a private pay service. We’ll provide a detailed receipt you can submit to your private insurance.
Can I still come in for a travel health consultation even if I’m leaving soon?
Absolutely. While 4–6 weeks is ideal, we can still help with same-week or next-week departures.
What payment methods are accepted?
Online payment by credit card is required.
What is online dermatology via secure messaging?
It’s an asynchronous dermatology consultation: you describe your skin problem and send photos via secure messaging, without a video appointment or having to leave home. Your dermatologist evaluates your case and responds with a treatment plan, usually within 48 hours.
How does a consultation work?
You create your file and complete payment, you upload your photos, your dermatologist reviews your case, then you receive an evaluation, recommendations, and, if necessary, a prescription. Everything is handled through the secure messaging system.
What types of acne can be evaluated online?
Our service focuses on the treatment of acne in its various forms: hormonal, inflammatory, cystic, and persistent or recurring breakouts. If your dermatologist determines that another condition or an in-person exam is needed, they will refer you to the appropriate resource.
Who evaluates my case?
Your case is reviewed by Dr. Robert Solomon, dermatologist and member of the Collège des médecins du Québec.
How long will it take to receive a response?
You will usually receive an evaluation within 48 hours (business days) of submitting a complete set of photos.
How much does an online consultation cost?
The cost is $195 per consultation. A follow-up session, if needed, also costs $195.
Who can use the service?
Anyone 16 years of age or older residing in Quebec.
Is the consultation conducted by video?
No. The consultation takes place through secure messaging, with no video appointment required.
Are my information and photos protected?
Yes. Communications are sent via encrypted messaging, and your health information is handled in accordance with Bill 25 on the protection of personal information. Your photos are used solely for your medical evaluation.
What photos should I provide for a proper evaluation?
Take 2 or 3 clear, well-lit photos (natural light is ideal), one close-up and one from a distance to show the location. Avoid filters and make sure the area is clean and clearly visible.
What happens if my case requires an in-person exam?
Certain conditions require a physical exam or a biopsy. If so, your dermatologist will refer you to an in-person consultation at one of our clinics (Pointe-Claire or Mile-Ex) or to the appropriate resource.
Is the service covered by RAMQ?
This service is offered in private practice and is not covered by RAMQ. If you have any questions regarding insurance coverage, please check with your insurer.
Can a dermatologist prescribe acne treatment online?
Yes. If appropriate for your condition, a prescription can be sent directly to your pharmacy.
What treatments can a dermatologist prescribe for acne online?
Depending on your medical evaluation, a dermatologist may recommend different types of acne treatments based on the type and severity of your acne (mild, moderate, or severe). Treatment options may include:
- Topical creams or gels
- Oral or topical antibiotics
- Hormonal treatments, when indicated
- A personalized dermatological skincare routine
Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition to ensure effective and safe care.
Can a nurse practitioner replace a doctor?
A nurse practitioner is a highly qualified healthcare professional who can see you quickly, assess your health, make diagnoses for common or acute health issues, prescribe tests and treatments, renew prescriptions, and provide medical follow-up.
They are an excellent primary care alternative for many situations requiring medical evaluation when there is no immediate life-threatening emergency, and they often help avoid a visit to the emergency room.
Do I need a family doctor to consult?
No. Consultations with a nurse practitioner at Clinique Médicale 360 are available without a family doctor. This service is ideal if you need a quick appointment.

What does a Nurse Practitioner (NP) do in Quebec?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) can:
- Assess and diagnose health conditions
- Prescribe tests and treatments
- Renew your prescriptions
- Provide personalized medical follow-up (in collaboration with the care team as needed)
The NP works alongside other healthcare professionals, including doctors, to ensure comprehensive and safe care.
Are these services covered by my insurance?
Yes. Most private or professional insurance plans offer partial or full reimbursement for nursing services, including consultations with a Nurse Practitioner (NP), under the “nursing care” or “paramedical services” section, depending on your plan.
Reimbursement varies by insurer (annual maximum, coverage percentage, receipt requirements). A detailed receipt will be provided after your consultation to help with your insurance claim.
We recommend checking directly with your insurance company to confirm whether services from a Nurse Practitioner (NP) are covered under your plan.
Is it possible to have the doctor fill out a form?
The forms can usually be completed during a medical consultation, if the physician deems this possible. Please e-mail the document in question to [email protected] before making an appointment. This is to ensure that the doctor is able to complete the document. Additional charges apply.
