How Dr.Online's weight consultation works
You pick a slot, register and pay, then join the consultation through a link on your phone, tablet or computer. Its terms say a phone call is possible at your request. The GP evaluates you, may issue blood test requisitions for a lab of your choice and emails a treatment plan. If the doctor decides treatment is needed, the prescription goes by HSE Healthmail to your nominated pharmacy. Follow-up consultations review progress and adjust the plan.
What it costs and who runs it
The initial weight consultation is from €55 and follow-ups from €45. The fee does not cover medicine bought at the pharmacy. Dr.Online's terms name Dr Online Inc, registered in Delaware, describe its doctors as self-employed and IMC-registered, and say you must be in the Republic of Ireland during the consultation. The terms set out a 14-day right to cancel.
