A consult at home

After the consult

Anything your provider issues comes to you from them. You pay online when you book. After your consult you get a medical invoice by email to submit to your medical aid for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed.

Your invoice

Carries the practice details and codes for your medical aid claim.

Another consult

Book again at any time. Each booking is a fresh payment, because your card details are not kept.

Questions afterwards

Reply to your booking email and it reaches the provider you consulted.

What do I need for an online consult?

A phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a stable internet connection, and a private space to talk. Your video link arrives by email when you book.

How long does a consult last?

It depends on the consult type. Each one shows its length before you pay.

What happens after I pay?

Your booking confirms the moment payment goes through. You get an email with the video link and a manage link to cancel or ask to move it, and a calendar invite follows. A reminder arrives before your consult.
