The short version
Flatland Health may earn affiliate commissions from Canadian telehealth providers we recommend once Impact.com (or equivalent) tracking links are live. Until those partnerships are confirmed, /go/ stubs may redirect to placeholder destinations — we do not invent live payout rates or claim active partnerships we don't have. When you sign up through a labelled affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only include providers that prescribe Health Canada–authorized medications. We don't accept payment for placement or ranking.
Which links are affiliate links
Any link that starts with /go/ — for example /go/felix, /go/maple, /go/phoenix, /go/enso, /go/lmc, or /go/rocketdoctor — redirects through a tracked URL. Every CTA button using these links is labeled Sponsored in the interface and marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" in the HTML so search engines treat it correctly.
Regular editorial links — for example a link from one Flatland Health article to another, or a link out to Health Canada, a provincial drug plan, or a peer-reviewed source — are not affiliate links.
What we accept commissions for
- New-patient signups with Canadian telehealth clinics we've independently reviewed and included in the provider directory.
- Standard cost-per-acquisition or cost-per-consult rates once a live Impact (or equivalent) partnership is in place. We will not invent payout figures on this site.
What we do not accept
- Payment for placement or ranking. Ranking on the provider table is alphabetical. Our written "which is best for X" recommendations are based on editorial judgment, not on which provider pays the highest commission.
- Sponsored content disguised as editorial. If we ever publish content produced with a provider or sponsor, it will be clearly labeled as such at the top of the page.
- Commissions from providers that don't meet our standards. If a clinic prescribes non-Health-Canada-authorized products, uses fabricated authority (fake doctor photos, made-up testimonials), or won't disclose which Canadian pharmacy fills their prescriptions, they don't get an affiliate slot no matter what they offer.
- Commissions from research-chemical peptide vendors. Ever.
How we decide who's in the directory
We check five things before including a Canadian telehealth clinic:
- The clinic's prescribers are licensed to practise in Canadian provinces (verified against provincial college registries where publicly searchable).
- The medications prescribed are Health Canada-authorized for the indication being prescribed.
- The clinic works with a licensed Canadian pharmacy for dispensing.
- Marketing claims on the clinic's own site are consistent with the Health Canada labelling for the medication.
- The clinic has a functional complaints and refund process, and a real Canadian business address.
How rankings work
The provider table on /providers is sorted alphabetically. When we make an in-context recommendation — for example, "if you're in a hurry, look at Felix or Maple first" — that recommendation reflects editorial judgment about fit, not commission economics. Two providers that pay us different commission rates will be recommended for the same use case if that's what our reading of the evidence supports.

Not medical advice
Nothing on Flatland Health — including anything a provider link takes you to — is medical advice. We're a publisher, not a clinic. Consult a licensed Canadian healthcare practitioner before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
