How an online consultation may work
- You provide health information and the reason for consultation.
- BMI, risks, medical history and current medicines are reviewed.
- A clinician discusses or requests any missing information.
- A plan is agreed. It may or may not include medication.
- Follow-up is arranged when needed.
When remote care is not enough
In-person assessment may be better when the diagnosis is uncertain, serious symptoms are present, a physical examination is needed, laboratory tests are required or the medical situation is complex.
Questions to ask a provider
- who provides the healthcare service and where they are registered
- how identity and medical history are verified
- how follow-up and adverse effects are managed
- what exactly is included in the consultation fee
