Medaca-What-We-Do

Leaders in Workplace-Focused Mental Health Care

Medaca is one of Canada’s leading providers of timely, expert mental health treatment. We offer access to the country’s top network of psychiatrists and psychotherapists — specialists uniquely trained to support recovery and return-to-work success.

But our support doesn’t end with an assessment. Our specialists coordinate directly with the employee’s primary care provider, ensuring that treatment recommendations are put into action — not just put on paper.

What We Do

We Help Employees Recover - and Return to Work.

Employee absences due to mental health concerns are one of the most pressing challenges facing employers and insurers today. The traditional treatment path is slow, unpredictable, and costly — often leaving employees waiting months for care.

That’s why we created Medaca TeamCare™:

A collaborative, outcomes-focused model that delivers early intervention, expert treatment, and real results.

How It Works

Identify-High-Risk-Employees

We Intervene Early

With employee consent, Medaca steps in when mental health issues are first identified — even while the employee is still at work.

Early-Effective-Treatment-Alt

We Provide Fast, Specialized Care

Employees are matched with top workplace-focused psychiatrists or psychotherapists — with treatment starting in just 15 business days, not the traditional wait time of 6–12 months.

Coordinate-treatment-see-it-through

We Coordinate & Follow Through

Medaca’s experts work directly with the employee’s primary care provider and insurer to confirm treatment strategies, ensuring treatment is implemented, monitored, and adjusted as needed - leading to faster recovery and return to work.

Our Results

Supporting employees with early access to psychiatrists and effective treatment has proven to save our clients over $5 million in DLR & Direct Disability Cost Savings per 100 referrals.

We’ve reduced claim duration by 28% and increased claims resolutions by 18% during COVID-19. With Medaca on-board, 86% of employees return to work before moving to long-term disability.

This doesn’t include reduction in costs related to presenteeism, absenteeism and loss of productivity in the workplace.

And remember, disability is not simply about cost. It’s about organizational performance and profitability. Thirty-one percent of employers today say mental health is having a severe or significant impact on profitability in the COVID era.¹
