Veterans should also be aware that they may be eligible for financial support through Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). At Aurora, we go the extra mile to support our Veteran patients beyond their VAC coverage too. Read more about Aurora’s Veteran coverage here.
How Do I Renew My Medical Document?
A medical document, like a prescription, has a timeframe associated with it which is decided by your healthcare practitioner, e.g., a 6-month medical document. Once this time is up, you will need to get your medical document renewed. We will send you email reminders whenever your medical document is about to expire.
To renew your medical document, simply follow the same steps as you did the first time, including filling out the registration form again. This is simply to ensure we have your most up-to-date information.
1. Complete your online registration here and download the medical document provided.
2. Get a healthcare practitioner to fill out the medical document and have them fax it to 1-403-637-3121.
Our client care team will review the new application form and send a confirmation email when it’s been approved. You will then be able to place your next order.
As mentioned above, a cannabis clinic is often the easiest way to go as they will assist you with these steps.
