Terms and Conditions

  1. This website (medonline.co.nz) is owned and operated by MedOnline. These terms apply to this website and GP services accessed by booking on this website. Your continued use of this website and the services provided through MedOnline constitute your acceptance to these terms and conditions.

  2. MedOnline reserves the right to modify its terms, conditions and services at any time.

  3. TO use our servces you must be a New Zealand citizen, resident or visiting New Zealand. You must be 18 years old or over. In some situations we can provide services to those with New Zealand Working Visas, and non-residents living in New Zealand (see NZ Eligibilty conditions from the Ministry of Health - we will let you know if you are not eligible for funded prescriptions when you submit your Eligibility form online). You must also have a current valid Government issued form of photographic identification such as a Passport or NZ Drivers Licence that can be visualised during a consultation if requested.

  4. The advice given through MedOnline is provided by a New Zealand Registered Medical Practitioner (“MedOnline Doctor”). They operate under a Code of Ethics which is the same code of ethics as a regular doctor would have if they were seeing a patient face to face.

  5. MedOnline is not a pharmacy, it does not directly dispense medicines. As a doctor we can of course provide your nominated pharmacy with a script which will enable you to then secure your own medicines, or we can arrange delivery of those prescriptions directly to you from Zoom Pharmacy.

  6. Following consultation, MedOnline will inform your nominated General Practitioner of the consultation and of the medications prescribed (if any). If however you either do not nominate a General Practitioner or you do not give us the authorisation to contact that General Practitioner it will be your responsibility to inform your existing General Practitioner of any medications prescribed.

  7. Prior to the prescribing of some medications, your MedOnline Doctor may require you to have your blood pressure checked. MedOnline or the MedOnline Doctor will advise you if this is a requirement prior to the issuing of any medication. The taking of your blood pressure will be your responsibility and can be done, for example at pharmacies or you can purchase a home blood pressure cuff suitable for home use.

  8. You agree that any product, medicine or medication that MedOnline Doctors prescribe will be solely used for your own personal use and that you will not allow any other person to take, use or have access to that medication. You agree that if medication is provided or delivered to you that you will only take that medication in conjunction with any other medication that you have already disclosed to the MedOnline Doctor prior to the issuing of the prescription. You agree that before taking any medication prescribed to you, you will read all information provided to you by the MedOnline Doctor, the dispensing Pharmacist or by the manufacturer of the product and will follow that advice. If there is any conflict between the advice provided by the MedOnline Doctor and the manufacturer of the product or the pharmacist you must contact the MedOnline Doctor before taking the medication.

  9. If while taking medication you suffer any noticeable side effects that are causing you concern, you must re-book an appointment with the MedOnline Doctor to allow that medical practitioner to monitor the effect of the medications prescribed to you, or you must see your usual General Practitioner for advice. For urgent care, in New Zealand dial 111 and ask for the ambulance.

  10. If during the course of your consultation with the MedOnline doctor, transmission fails, your MedOnline Doctor may contact you by telephone or some other method in order to complete the consultation. If the cause of the communication failure is technical, you may be contacted by a member of the MedOnline support team to assist you with your reconnection.

  11. If you use our video facility, you must not attempt to record the consultation, whether visually or by audio or take screenshots or copies of images of that meeting. You must not abuse, intimidate or threaten those people using the facility or engage in behaviour which is offensive. We reserve the right to terminate any consultation if you fail to comply with these terms.

  12. In some circumstances, an online consultation will not be appropriate for your particular problem. MedOnline reserves the right to discontinue the provision of advice, or the prescribing or delivery of medication to you at any time. MedOnline may also withdraw, suspend or discontinue any of its services to you at any time without providing a reason to you.

  13. You agree that all information that you provide to the MedOnline Doctor will be true and complete to the best of your knowledge, and that you will not intentionally omit to provide information that could reasonably be judged to be relevant to the MedOnline Doctors in providing their services to you. This includes any allergic reactions, or previous medical experiences or treatments.

  14. Cancellations and Refunds

    MedOnline charges a fee on booking a medical consult. If you are unable to attend this appointment we will take all reasonable steps to rebook this appointment, however if you miss the appointment you will need to pay to book a new one. (You are booking a doctors time, if you do not turn up we cannot re-use that time to see someone else!) If the consulting MedOnline Doctor considers it appropriate (e.g. if they have been unable to carry out a safe or effective consult they may decide to refund the fee - less transaction expenses of 5%). If you email us to cancel the appointment and give us more than 1 working days notice (so we can rebook the appointment) we will refund the fee (less transaction expenses of 5%).
