As a Doctor
Can every alternate healthcare provider join Carewell Connect?
We go through a verification process when a doctor signs up to get onboard with Carewell Connect. We will confirm if you have an active license and are in good standing to practice. We will also confirm your educational background and specialties mentioned in your profile. You will be sent a code of ethics at Carewell Connect video to understand our quality standards. We will also need a video from you pledging to practice ethically and maintain certain standards during your association with us. Once approved, you can pay the sign-up fee and join the platform, However, we do not make any representations about the doctor’s ability to provide medical care.
How do I update my information on the website?
Please send us an email at [email protected] and we will do it for you. We are working towards creating a doctor’s portal in future, after which you will be able to login and update your profile on your own.
What if a patient contacts me outside of Carewell Connect to modify the appointment?
If a patient contacts you directly to modify their appointment, kindly indicate the change to us so we will reflect the same in your available times.
As a Patient
How much will the online consultation with my doctor cost?
The charges are different for different doctors and you will be notified of this before confirming your appointment with the chosen doctor.
Will I be speaking to the doctor directly?
Once you schedule the appointment, you may receive a call from the doctor’s clinic first to confirm the appointment, understand your problem and make a note of any past conditions or problems you have had. This helps the doctor in being prepared before speaking to you. The next call will be with the doctor. You will not be charged separately for the first call.
Can I use Carewell Connect to book appointments with any doctor?
We are working towards having as many holistic / alternative healthcare practitioners onboard. You can currently book appointments with doctors who have collaborated with us to give you a holistic health solution.
How do I know which doctor to choose?
We believe in empowering our patients to make their own healthcare decisions – but also provide a lot of information about our doctors to help you make that decision. When looking up a doctor’s profile on Carewell Connect, you can find his education qualification, expertise, background, verified reviews, photo and more. Don’t forget to leave a review / feedback after your appointment so that you can help others find the right doctor for their needs.
How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
We hope that patients would honor their booked appointments, but we also understand that cancellations can happen.
If you need to cancel or re-schedule an appointment, you can login to your patient account, find your upcoming appointment and click on the link to cancel or re-schedule. You will receive a confirmation email once you have successfully modified your appointment.
Too many cancellations, rescheduling and no-shows may lead to us having to take an action against your account.
Can I make appointments over the phone?
For a simple online healthcare experience, we allow bookings only via the website as of now. If you are facing an issue with your booking, you can always send us a message here.
How can I be sure that my appointment has really been made?
If you have reached the page that says ‘Your appointment is booked’, stay assured that it is done. You will soon receive an email with all necessary details about the upcoming appointment. You will also be able to see this in your patient login page.
What if my appointment is cancelled or rescheduled by the doctor himself?
Doctor’s can have an emergency sometimes. In such cases, we will email and notify you as soon as possible and help you with the next plan of action.
