Launch of a teleconsultation service

Teleconsultation is the natural extension of Doctolib. After having contributed to the development of online medical appointment scheduling, Doctolib is diversifying its services in favor of access to care with the upcoming launch of remote consultation.

Doctolib developed this new service with 500 partner practitioners before offering it to its 60,000 user health professionals from January 1, 2019.

Stanislas NIOX-CHATEAU, Co-founder and President of Doctolib, believes that “teleconsultation is obvious. This is obvious for practitioners, who will work in more flexible and comfortable conditions, better value their medical time and improve the care of their patients. This is also obvious for patients, who will consult their practitioners more easily and more quickly. With 20 million patients each month and 60,000 partner practitioners, we have a unique opportunity to improve access to care and to make France one of the pioneers of teleconsultation in the world.. "

Doctolib's teleconsultation service respects the principles defined by Health Insurance and the liberal medical unions. On the one hand, teleconsultation will not be the only method of consulting the doctor: it will be integrated into the current practice of practitioners, who will be able to alternate between physical consultations and remote consultations. On the other hand, except in the exceptions provided by Health Insurance, teleconsultation will only be offered to patients already known to practitioners, whether generalists or specialists, and will go through the attending physician. If the patient hasno attending physician, Doctolib will refer him to the nearest coordinated care facility.
