§ 3.
Conditions and organisation of the provision of Services

  1. The Provider's current offer of Services is available on the Portal.
  2. Services are provided against payment in accordance with the prices listed on the Portal.
  3. The Patient is obliged to provide the Provider with all information and circumstances that may be relevant to the Service provided, in particular the information indicated in the form appropriate to the Service, as well as copies of medical records and test results that may be necessary or helpful for the provision of the Service in question. In case of refusal to provide such information and documents, the Provider may refuse to provide the Service.
  4. The patient shall be solely responsible if he or she provides false information or withholds information referred to in the preceding paragraph.
  5. By providing health data, the patient confirms that this data is factually correct and is aware of the consequences that may arise if false or incomplete data is provided.
  6. The process of ordering and providing the Service includes, in particular, the following steps:
    • indication of complaints by the patient,
    • filling in a form (request for an e-consultation) by the patient appropriate to the ailment, containing, in particular, information on the patient's general state of health, treatment to date, medication taken, etc,
    • making payment for the Service,
    • verification of the form (request for e-consultation) and the data contained therein by the doctor,
    • depending on the nature of the Service requested, the provision of medical advice by a doctor, the making of a recommendation, the interpretation of test results, the issuing of a referral or e-prescription or the issuing of other documents and the taking of other actions according to the circumstances and the nature of the Service.
  7. As part of the performance of the Service, the doctor may recommend that the Patient make an in-patient visit, call an ambulance or obtain medical assistance at another treatment facility or other institution.
  1. If the Patient's condition deteriorates rapidly, the Patient should immediately call for help or go to a healthcare facility.
  2. The standard waiting time for a consultation with a doctor is about 1 hour, during the doctors' standard working hours, from 8:00 in the morning until 22:00 .
  3. Doctors are only obliged to prescribe medicines when it is in the patients' interest to do so. In other cases, the doctor is obliged to refuse to prescribe a medicine, even if the patient clearly indicates that he or she needs it. The doctor's assessment following the medical e-consultation is crucial here.
  4. In justified cases, the doctor will propose the alternative treatment he or she considers most appropriate.
  5. The doctor makes the decision to prescribe a medicine or e-consent after a medical consultation has been performed. Its execution makes it impossible to receive a reimbursement of the funds paid by the patient.
  6. In the event that the doctor needs to speak to the patient, he or she will make two attempts to contact the patient by telephone. For this purpose, the patient is asked to stay on the phone until the doctor calls them. Such contact will normally take place within one hour of sending the request, between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. In justified cases, contact with the doctor may be prolonged. When the lack of contact with the patient prevents the e-consultation from taking place, it is closed and the patient is not entitled to a refund.
  7. A doctor may refuse to prescribe a psychotropic, narcotic or growth hormone drug if he or she considers that its use is not indicated or is dangerous. In such a situation, the doctor gives advice and the patient is not entitled to reimbursement.
  8. Reimbursement for the service provided is only possible if, as a result of a system error, the doctor does not perform the medical consultation. In a situation where a doctor has performed a consultation and decided not to issue a prescription and/or e-consultation, no reimbursement is possible.
