What happens in an online GP consultation?
Your GP takes your history, asks follow-up questions and assesses what can safely be assessed over video. You can use a phone, tablet or computer without installing an app.
If remote care is suitable, the doctor explains the treatment plan. A prescription, sick note or referral may be provided when clinically appropriate. If you need a physical examination or urgent care, the doctor will tell you.
hiDoc is not an emergency service. For severe symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding or signs of stroke, call 10177 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Questions
The things people ask us first.
How much is an online doctor consultation in South Africa?
hiDoc consultations currently start at R150. The exact fee and appointment length appear before you submit a request.
Can an online doctor issue a prescription or sick note?
A GP may issue a prescription, sick note or referral after an appropriate clinical assessment. It is the doctor’s decision and is not guaranteed.
Do I need an app?
No. The appointment and secure video call work in a modern web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
How fast is an immediate consult, really?
During consulting hours, you can request the next available appointment. The clinician confirms the request before a video consultation begins. We do not promise a specific wait time until enough availability data supports it.
Are your doctors actually registered?
Every clinician must provide a current HPCSA registration number before they can consult through hiDoc. Clinician onboarding is managed directly by the company.
