Lumino Health Virtual Care

Employees and their eligible dependents have access to Sun Life’s Lumino Health Virtual Care, powered by Dialogue. Lumino Health Virtual Care (LHVC) provides virtual “walk-in” service to connect employees and their dependents with local medical professionals, including nurses, doctors, from the comfort and safety of their own home for punctual health problems (flu, allergies, etc.), any stress-related questions, minor emergencies, blood work requests, prescription renewal, medication delivery, and much more!
Lumino Health Virtual Care gives you access to healthcare professionals via mobile or web app. You will be able to chat with a nurse for any questions related to your health or consult a doctor via a secure video if a diagnosis or prescription is required, completely free of charge. You can also consult other health professionals (e.g. nutritionists) for an additional fee that may be covered by insurance.

About 70% of typical walk-in clinic cases can be addressed via Lumino Health Virtual Care!

Here are some examples of how to use this service:
  • Prescriptions and renewals
  • Request blood work or a referral to a specialist
  • Consult for minor conditions (allergies, UTI, infections, etc.)
  • Ask questions related to your children’s health
  • Consult the medical team for any questions related to stress, insomnia, depression and anxiety
  • Obtain guidance to the appropriate health-care system resources when an in-person consultation is needed
If you are physically located in Canada, you can use Lumino Health Virtual Care. The service is available 24/7, but the medical scope of practice will exclude some services outside of regular hours (for example, you won’t be able to refill a prescription at 2:00 a.m.).

The regular hours of the Lumino Health Virtual Care clinic in all Canadian time zones, local time, are:
  • Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
