UTI Testing & Treatment for Women | Montreal

Common symptoms of a female UTI include a sharp burning sensation during urination, an intense or frequent urge to urinate, cloudy or foul smelling urine, and lower abdominal pressure. Some women may also notice small traces of blood in their urine or experience localized pelvic pain. If you are experiencing these symptoms, an at home mobile nurse visit can quickly confirm an infection right from the comfort of your own home. 

No, women aged 14 and older do not need a doctor's referral or medical requisition to book our private rapid UTI screening. Genexia Health provides immediate access to home urine testing without the need to wait for a clinic appointment. However, please note that for men and children under 14, a valid physician's requisition is legally required so that we can transport the sample directly to a private laboratory for a full urinalysis and culture. 

Our mobile nursing team delivers highly accurate rapid urine dipstick results right to your doorstep within 5 minutes. The nurse analyzes the sample on site for specific biomarkers like leukocytes and nitrites, providing an immediate digital report. 

If your rapid test is positive and you meet specific clinical criteria, we fax your official results directly to your pharmacy and upload the report to your secure patient portal. Under Quebec healthcare regulations, many pharmacists can prescribe antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs once they receive a verified positive diagnostic result. If your local pharmacy cannot prescribe, we can seamlessly connect you with a virtual consultation via our staff Nurse Practitioner to assess you and send a prescription over immediately. 

Yes, our professional mobile nursing fees and rapid urine screening services are widely eligible for reimbursement under most private Canadian health insurance policies. Genexia Health issues an itemized, transparent medical receipt immediately following your appointment. You can submit this documentation directly to private insurers like Sun Life, Manulife, or Desjardins to cover your out of pocket expenses based on your specific plan.

Quebec clinical guidelines restrict rapid pharmacy partnered antibiotic pathways to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections in adolescent and adult women. UTIs in men, young children, or pregnant women are classified as complicated and carry higher medical risks. For these individuals, Genexia Health requires a doctor's requisition so our mobile nurses can collect and safely transport a sterile sample for full laboratory analysis rather than using an on site rapid dipstick.
