Benefits of Teleconsultation Services
Enhanced Convenience
Do distant commutes to visit a healthcare professional sound daunting, especially when you’re feeling unwell? Teleconsult services help to avoid these inconveniences by bringing doctor consultations to you online.
More Accessible
Visiting a clinic or hospital can be difficult for those with mobility challenges or living far from healthcare facilities. Teleconsultation makes healthcare accessible by allowing patients to connect with medical practitioners remotely. This ensures that essential healthcare advice is within reach, regardless of your situation.
Cost-Effective
Teleconsultation offers a cost-effective solution with transparent pricing. Knowing the costs upfront helps you budget better and avoids unexpected bills. Additionally, it helps you save on transportation expenses and reduces the need for taking time off work.
Increased Comfort
If you feel uneasy discussing sensitive health issues in clinical settings, teleconsultation offers a more private alternative. Online consultations with a doctor from the comfort of your home can make these conversations less intimidating and encourage openness.
Reduced Exposure
Teleconsultations limit your exposure to crowded waiting rooms and potential infections that can spread in clinic environments. Plus, you get to avoid long waits and only engage when it’s time for your scheduled appointment, saving valuable time.
Seamless Follow-Ups
Running low on leave days? Now, follow-up consultations can be done online through teleconsult, allowing you to manage your health without the hassle of taking time off.

Teleconsultations in Singapore are suitable for individuals that don’t require in-person visits, such as:
- Mild illnesses (e.g., colds, flu, mild allergies, diarrhea)
- Skin conditions (e.g., rashes, acne)
- Chronic condition management (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)
- Have mobility issues
- Follow-up consultations
- Prescription refills or adjustments

Frequently Asked Questions About Teleconsultation in Singapore
Considering your healthcare options? You can choose to either get a home visit or access online healthcare services like teleconsultation for your convenience. Here’s how:
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
You can cancel or reschedule your appointment. However, there is a cancellation cut-off time, which you will receive via email after booking. This email will also outline the penalty for any last-minute cancellations. Therefore, if you need to cancel or reschedule your teleconsultation appointment, please contact us in advance. This allows us to adjust to your changes and arrange a new date that works for you.
Will my insurance cover teleconsultation?
Insurance coverage for teleconsultation in Singapore can vary, but teleconsultation services are generally not claimable through insurance. However, you might be able to claim if you have a hospital insurance plan and the teleconsultation occurs within one year of a hospital discharge, or if your policy covers specific conditions addressed during the teleconsultation. It’s always best to confirm your coverage with your insurance provider. Our claims specialists are also available to help you navigate this process, so feel free to contact us for assistance.
Can I have an on-call doctor consultation at night or on weekends?
On-call doctor consultations at VitaLife Clinic are available daily, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, including weekends and public holidays in Singapore.
Is telemedicine only for adults, or can children also be seen?
Telemedicine services in Singapore are available for both adults and children. However, it is recommended that children under 18 have a parent or guardian present during the consultation to ensure proper communication and care.
What happens if the online doctor consultation is inconclusive or requires further tests?
If the online doctor consultation is inconclusive or further tests are needed, the doctor may recommend a blood test, which can be conveniently done by our home visit team, or diagnostic imaging, which can be easily arranged at one of our centrally located partner centers. This ensures you receive the appropriate follow-up care and diagnosis.
Is it necessary to have a video consultation for telemedicine, or can I consult a doctor by phone?
No, it’s not always necessary to have a video consultation. Many online doctor consultations can be conducted via phone if preferred, though video calls are recommended for more thorough assessments, especially for conditions requiring visual evaluation.
