The member must, therefore, be aware of this vital information; and apply to the nearest health institution he would prefer in his location for physical examination, if he thinks is necessary.

The healthcare staff will, during the remote communication, conduct assessment, only limited to the information as orally provided by the member, and as provided on the documents uploaded to the system, if any; due to which, the staff may not form complete, adequate or decisive opinion in respect of the member’s health status.

The general and private data which will be provided to healthcare staff by the member during the remote communication may neither be exported out of the system nor be disclosed to third parties in such a manner as that it will cause pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages, and infringe personal rights.

During and after the remote communication, the member may not tape audial or visual records of the communication, export it out of the system and disclose to third parties, in such a manner as that it will cause pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages, and infringe personnel rights, to the detriment of healthcare staff.

Timeless cancellations may jeopardize our ability to provide the medical assistance our members need to receive at the right time.

Cancellation Policy based on timing is at following;

  • The Hospital Online provides its members with reminders through notifications via mobile apps and e-mails for further assistance. Remembering the appointment is the member’s own responsibility. The fact that the member has not received a reminder e-mail or notification does not provide any cancellation privilige for the consultation she / he does not attend. We do not provide any refund if the member does not attend the appointment which is approved by doctor or the healthcare professional and finalised.
  • If the doctor or healthcare professional does not approve your consultation request because the medical question you ask is not in his / her area of expertise or for any other reason, there will be no decrease in the number of call right in your package.
  • If the doctor or the healthcare professional cannot attend the appointment, there will be no decrease in your package and a new appointment will be planned as soon as possible.
  • If our members who purchased a single consultation do not prefer a make-up call, they can use their right on a different consultation or they can request a refund.
  • If the member cancels the appointment 24 hours before the appointment, the right will be reserved. Our members who purchased a single consultation can use their right on a different doctor or a healthcare professional.
