Questions from parents

How do I book a doctor house call in Winnipeg?

Call 204-582-2362 (58-22-DOC). Phone lines are open 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., 7 days a week. Have the patient's health card ready (Manitoba, or another province or territory). Our office books a same-day visit for you.

Can I book a house call for my parent, spouse or someone I care for?

Yes. Family members and caregivers can book a house call for someone else. You will need the patient's PHIN (Personal Health Identification Number), which is printed on their Manitoba Health card. If the patient has health coverage from another province or territory, have their health card ready and we'll confirm the details.

What is a PHIN?

Your PHIN is your Personal Health Identification Number. It is printed on your Manitoba Health card. We use it to book your visit, and it is how Manitoba Health covers the visit.

What should I have ready when I call?

Have the patient's health card (a Manitoba Health card with their PHIN, or a health card from another province or territory), their full address including any apartment number and buzzer code, and a phone number where we can reach you today.

Can I book online?

Not yet. We are setting up an online patient portal, and a link will appear on this website when it is ready. For now, please call 204-582-2362. Phone will always be available.
