KixCare’s new service, Kix360°, offers 24/7 access to Pediatric Registered Nurses. Our KixNurses are supported by a team of specialized Nurse Practitioners who can diagnose, prescribe, and make referrals to Pediatricians and Allied Health Professionals.
Please note: not all KixCare Pediatric Experts may be comfortable prescribing all types of medication. Our team may refer your child to in-person care in cases where diagnoses cannot be confirmed online.

How does KixCare work?
What is virtual care?
Virtual care, sometimes called telehealth or telemedicine, is an emerging method for increasing public access to healthcare and is supported by the provincial and federal government throughout Canada. Virtual care includes healthcare delivery through audio, video, or text communications, removing many traditional barriers to healthcare.
How do I book an appointment?
Click “Book Now” to book a one-time appointment through our KixOne service. Click “Quebec” to book a one-time appointment in Quebec.
For 24/7 support with unlimited appointments, click “Join Kix360°. With Kix360°, you and your family will get instant access to live chat with a pediatric registered nurse through the messaging feature, no appointment required. Your KixNurse will book all appointments required for you. Appointments may be booked 24/7, but availability may vary.
How long do I have to wait?
KixCare pediatric experts strive to accept appointments within the same day, and as soon as within 30 minutes of booking. Appointments can be made up to 7 days before the requested time.
For Pediatric Specialists, we are adding appointments daily, but wait times may vary by provider. Bookings must be made at least 60 minutes prior to the requested time.
What does it cost?
Certain services are provided for a fee. We charge a fee for our services only when they are not covered by provincial health plans.
A one-time visit with KixOne costs $59. KixOne services are eligible for reimbursement under some Health Spending Accounts. Talk to your workplace benefits provider to confirm coverage details.
A Kix360° membership is $33 per month, paid annually, and offers unlimited appointments per family.
Pediatrician visits may be covered by your provincial health insurance plan, in which case there is no charge to you.
What if I need in-person care or a follow-up appointment?
If your child is being seen for a medical issue requiring in-person care or a follow-up, your KixCare provider will be able to refer you to the most appropriate option.
Is service available in my primary language?
KixCare is designed for every Canadian family, so all web forms are available in English and French. Quebec families can access our appointments in French, while Kix360 and KixOne are currently English-only. We are working to confirm the ability of our providers to practice in other languages – stay tuned!
