Who is an Online Doctor?

Online doctors are just regular licensed physicians who deliver healthcare, including drug prescriptions, over the internet, using video chat.

How a Virtual Doctor Visit Work

Instead of going to a clinic or hospital, you can consult a doctor online right away from your hotel, B&B, or even while you’re on the move.

Using video conferencing, you can connect with a doctor in just a few minutes.

Nothing complicated. No sign-up or login required.

Simply visit doctorsa.com, describe your symptoms, and answer a few questions. Soon, you’ll be talking to a doctor who speaks your language.

Together, you’ll discuss your concerns and find the best treatment plan.

Plus, you’ll have a 7-day free follow-up chat with the doctor to adjust the treatment if needed.

How Online Doctors Can Assist Tourists

Online doctor visits can be a game-changer for tourists who are usually on tight schedules and unfamiliar with local healthcare. Platforms like Doctorsa make it super fast and easy to see a doctor remotely. If you face unexpected health issues far from home, you can quickly talk with a doctor online and get the medical advice or prescriptions you need right away, keeping your travel plans on track and worry-free.

Available Online Doctor Services

Online Virtual Visits

Online doctor consultations let you talk about your symptoms, concerns, and medical history with a licensed physician right from your place. These virtual visits give you personalized attention and advice tailored to your needs. Whether you have a non-emergency illness, need a medication refill, or want general healthcare advice, online doctors can provide thorough consultations.

Express Prescriptions

Online doctors can, in many cases, give you prescriptions after virtual care. Once you complete your online consultation, you receive a copy of the prescription so you can pick it up at the closest pharmacy. This is especially great for travelers who need quick access to meds while they’re away from their usual doctor.

Follow-up Care on the Go

Unlike emergency rooms, where follow-up isn’t possible, online doctors offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up. With online doctor services, you get continued support and guidance during your treatment or recovery. Doctorsa provides free follow-up chat for 7 days, letting you check in with the same provider who initially evaluated you. This continuity of care ensures your progress is closely monitored, and any necessary adjustments or recommendations are made promptly.

Cost of an Online Doctor's Appointment

Virtual Doctor Appointments Without Insurance

Telehealth services without insurance can be very affordable. The fee for an online medical consultation starts from €20 for a quick online consultation. Prices vary from doctor to doctor depending on their years of experience, city, and speciality.

Online Doctor Visit With Insurance

You can use your travel or health insurance to pay for your Doctorsa consultation. It’s pretty straightforward. When you’re ready to check out, you’ll see an option to select your insurance carrier and enter your policy details.

Doctorsa works directly with many insurance providers. But even if your provider isn’t on that list, don’t worry! We’ll spend up to a week trying to arrange direct coverage for you. This means you might not have to pay anything out of pocket.

The cost of your consultation will be temporarily held at checkout. Then, once your insurance provider confirms they’ll cover it, that hold is lifted. It’s our way of making sure you get the care you need without the upfront costs.

Online Doctor Appt Stories

We were on holiday in France, enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food, when our daughter suddenly developed a high fever and an ear infection. It was a Sunday, and we were in a bit of a panic because everything seemed to be closed.

Thankfully, we managed to arrange a telemedicine appointment with an online doctor within 20 minutes. The doctor was very understanding and quickly sent us an express prescription. We were relieved to get it so fast.

With the prescription in hand, we found the nearest out-of-hours pharmacy, the Pharmacie de Garde. When we arrived, we realized we didn’t have the prescription printed out. We were worried this might cause a delay, but the pharmacist was very helpful.

The whole process was smooth and efficient, and it saved our holiday. We were able to get our daughter the care she needed without much hassle. It was a fantastic service, and we were so grateful for how easy it all turned out to be.

Your questions answered

Can I talk to the doctor online?

Yes, you can with Doctorsa. Open the intake form and choose one of the following options:

Urgent Care: For immediate virtual doctor appointments.
Set Up an Appointment: To schedule a same-day or future appointment.
Prescription Refill: Use this option if you have lost or forgotten your medication.

Next, select how you would like to receive appointment offers from doctors.
We recommend using WhatsApp as it is faster and more reliable. You will quickly receive various visit options. Choose the one that suits you best and proceed to online payment.

Video visits are browser-based, so no apps are needed. Simply click the link you receive to start your video visit in your browser.

After the consultation, expect to receive an invoice and an e-prescription via email. You can show or print the e-prescription to purchase medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

Can I get a prescription online without seeing the doctor?

Yes, you can get a prescription without seeing a doctor in person, with a telehealth appointment. Through online consultations with a doctor, you can receive an express prescription you can fill at the closest pharmacy.

How do I get a script from an online doctor?

The doctor will email a copy of the prescription to you or send it through Whatsapp after the consultation. Please be aware that doctors have a professional responsibility to make their own assessment and cannot simply prescribe medication based on the patient’s request or a foreign doctor’s recommendation without first confirming that it is appropriate for the patient’s condition.

Is an online doctor for me?

An online doctor might be right for you if you are far from your doctor and don’t have time to search for a doctor appointment. An online doctor is perfect for minor but urgent situations or when you need medical assistance during off-hours such as weekends and holidays. An online doctor is not for life-threatening situations.

Are online virtual doctors available on weekends

Yes, whenever you submit your request it is instantly received by the doctors active at that time. Whether it’s late at night, on a Sunday morning, or on New Year’s Eve, there’s always someone on the other side who’s ready to see you. When you receive an option for an appointment, there’s a person behind it (a doctor) who’s read your request and is willing to assist you.

Can I get antibiotics without seeing a doctor in-person?

Yes, antibiotics can be prescribed during a video consultation with a doctor. In the majority of countries antibiotics are not available over the counter and pharmacies do not have doctors on site. To buy antibiotics, you’ll need to carry a doctor’s prescription to a pharmacy. For example, the cost of antibiotics typically ranges from 5 to 15 euros.

How Doctorsa protects my health information?

Doctorsa complies with GDPR regulations. When you submit a request on Doctorsa, the content of the request is shared with all available doctors while keeping your data anonymized until you select a provider. Once you’ve chosen a doctor and booked with them, your provided information and contact details will only be shared with them. Doctorsa will never sell your personal information.

Can I use my insurance to pay for the visit?

Yes, it is possible to pay with insurance. During the checkout process, you’ll be prompted to provide your insurance carrier information. Alongside this, you’ll also need to enter your payment details. The consultation cost will be temporarily withheld until our team verifies your coverage with your insurance provider. Once confirmed, the reserved amount will be released. However, if we’re unable to confirm your coverage or if your insurance doesn’t cover the payment, the reserved amount will be charged. In such cases, you’ll promptly receive an invoice, enabling you to claim a refund directly.
