Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz directed the Department of Health and Wellness to review and halt operations of PEIDoctor.com, a private for-profit service operated by EndWell Management Inc. that charges international visitors and Quebec residents between $229 for virtual consultations and $900 or more for house calls. The company's CEO, Marius Croeser, defended the service by stating it operates outside public health hours and assists tourists who otherwise lack public insurance coverage on the island. Meanwhile, Opposition health critic Gord McNeilly criticized the government for allowing a two-tiered fee-for-service mechanism to emerge while local residents face severe difficulties accessing family physicians.
