NOTES ON TELECONSULTATION

HiDoc teleconsultations are ideal for people who need to see a specialist for a second time or more. Our teleconsultations are also recommended for those who need a second opinion on a medical condition.

Teleconsultation is not suitable for all medical conditions.

Patients with chronic or mental health conditions are not encouraged to use teleconsulting.

Symptoms such as bleeding, wounds, fractures, fainting, severe headache or dizziness, numbness, or loss of vision or speech are also not suitable for teleconsulting, because they may require the immediate medical attention of the Accident & Emergency department at your nearest hospital.

See our FAQs for a list of conditions that telemedicine can help with. If in doubt, please visit your nearest medical clinician in person as soon as possible.

If there’s no available doctor who can conduct a teleconsultation with you right away, HiDoc gives you an option for a call back. You simply need to report your symptoms and the doctor will call you back as soon as possible. You may also return to the app at a later time to teleconsult. We seek your kind understanding as our doctors may be busy attending to other patients.
Waiting times depend on the number of patients who have selected the same doctor, and who have started the teleconsultation process ahead of you.
HiDoc teleconsultations are available from 9am to 6pm, 5 days a week (Mondays to Fridays). All e-visits completed after 6pm will be reviewed the following business day.
Please be reminded that HiDoc teleconsultations are only recommended for people who need to see a specialist for a second or subsequent times, as well as those seeking a second opinion on a medical condition. We advise that the first consultation be done in person.
