Answers to the questions we hear most. Can't find yours? Contact support and we'll help.

Booking & appointments

How do I book an appointment?

Search for a doctor, dentist, specialist or service under Find care, pick a practitioner and choose an open time slot. You get a booking reference straight away and the appointment shows under Appointments on the website and in the app.

How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment? Patients

Open Appointments, choose the booking and tap Cancel. Some practices charge a late-cancellation fee inside their notice window — the fee, if any, is shown before you confirm. To move a booking, cancel it and book the new time.

What do the green, orange and red practitioner colours mean?

Green means the practitioner can see you within 30 minutes, orange means a slot in today's queue, and red means they are not available today but you can book a future date.

What does booking cost?

Nothing. You pay the provider their listed fee. There is no booking fee and no subscription for patients.

Video consults

How do video consultations work?

Book a slot marked Video, or use See a doctor now. Ten minutes before the appointment a Join video button appears in your appointments on the website and in the app. You need a camera, a microphone and a stable data connection.

Medical shuttle

How do I book the medical shuttle?

Go to Shuttle, enter your pick-up and drop-off address and choose a vehicle (standard, comfort, wheelchair or stretcher). You see the fare before you confirm and can book the trip home at the same time. Track your driver live on the map.

Can I cancel a shuttle trip? Patients

Yes. Open the trip and tap Cancel. Cancelling before a driver is on the way is free; after that a cancellation fee may apply, and it is always shown before you confirm.

How are shuttle fares calculated?

By vehicle class and distance, quoted before you confirm. Waiting time is charged after the first fifteen minutes. Return legs are quoted with the outbound trip.

Payments & medical aid

Is PromptAid a medical aid?

No. PromptAid is a booking and delivery platform. You keep your own medical scheme, and we submit claims to it where the provider bills directly.

Can I use my medical aid? Patients

Yes. Add your scheme and membership number under Profile & scheme. Where the provider bills your scheme directly we submit the claim for you; otherwise you pay the cash price and receive an invoice to claim back.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Card, instant EFT and the other methods shown at checkout. Every fee on the site is the cash price — a medical scheme simply reduces what you pay.

Pharmacy & scripts

What happens if my script is rejected? Patients

The pharmacist tells you why and nothing is charged. Illegible scripts and expired repeats are the two common reasons.

Privacy & your account

Who can see my medical record?

You, and the practitioners you have an active appointment or sharing grant with. Every access is logged and you can revoke sharing at any time.

How do I get a copy of my data or delete my account?

Go to Your data & consents in your account to download your data or ask for your account to be closed. We respond within 30 days as POPIA requires. Clinical records are kept for the period the HPCSA requires even after an account closes.

For doctors & drivers

How do I set my consulting hours and time off? Doctors

In the app open Settings → Sessions to set your weekly hours and Settings → Holiday to block time off. Patients can only book inside your open sessions.

How do I receive shuttle trip offers? Drivers

Go online on the Drive screen and keep location sharing on. New trip offers appear under Offers with the pick-up, drop-off and fare — accept before the timer runs out. Keep your licence and vehicle documents up to date under Profile.
