The federal government, in partnership with Canadian Forces Morale Welfare Services (CFMWS) continues to support the healthcare needs of Veterans and their families by extending and expanding access to the Veteran Family Telemedicine Service (VFTS).
The VFTS gives eligible Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), their families, and their survivors covered access to virtual healthcare through Maple, a third-party contractor with a national network of Canadian-licensed doctors, nurse practitioners, and specialists.
Previously, this program was only available to Veterans who had medically released from the CAF.
Beginning today, all CAF Veterans released on or after 1 April 2025, their families, and survivors can register for the VFTS by visiting: https://www.getmaple.ca/veteranfamily.
All currently enrolled CAF Veterans and their families will have their coverage extended for an additional year.
All new applications must be completed by 31 March 2027.
