An e-visit is an increasingly popular form of conversation with a doctor, which enables quick contact with a selected specialist. How do I find an e-visit doctor? We check who offers telemedicine services and how to arrange a telephone consultation or a video call.
Why is it worth using telemedicine advice?
Though initially suspicious of healthcare informatization, the COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be extremely useful during the coronavirus pandemic. You don’t have to leave the house when using teleportation. All you need is a phone or a laptop to connect with the selected doctor. Thus, you can avoid queues at clinics and not expose yourself to bacterial and viral infections. In addition, thanks to the e-visit, the borders have been abolished – a person from outside a given city or province can choose the best specialist without worrying about transport.

Telemedicine services are also an ideal solution for people who live outside Poland or have gone on vacation. If they need contact with a selected doctor, they can easily arrange an e-consultation. In addition, the specialist receiving the TV visit can write an e-prescription or refer them to tests, and the results will be directly delivered to him if the patient wishes to continue the treatment.
How do I find a visiting doctor for an e-visit?
It is best to find the attending physician as part of an e-visit on the website of the selected e-facility or online store that offers medical services. The largest platform for telemedicine services from various fields of medicine is Medonet Market. The website includes not only offers of the most frequently chosen doctors (internists or family doctors), but also offers for specific people or age groups.
Using the services of Medonet Market, you can not only book an e-visit for yourself, but also for your loved ones. It is possible to buy a voucher, which will be an ideal gift showing care for parents or grandparents.
Another way to find a visiting doctor during an e-visit is to make an appointment with a specific specialist on a selected service (eg Medonet haloDoctor).

Who offers e-visits?
Patients most often choose an e-visit with a family doctor or internist, but a telemedicine consultation can also be made with specialists in other fields, which turns out to be extremely helpful in the case of chronically ill patients and people who need to contact a doctor as soon as possible. They can take advantage of the advice of doctors in various fields:
- Gynecology and obstetrics;
- Orthopedics;
- Ophthalmology;
- Laryngology;
- Dietetics;
- Cardiology;
- Psychology;
- Neurology.
On the website of the selected medical facility, it is also possible to order tests, and their results can be sent directly to the doctor.
Do you want to use an e-visit with a specific specialist?Familiarize yourself with the doctors’ offers on the haloDoctor platform and choose the consultation that is right for you. You can also transfer to a primary care physician in a telemedicine clinic. In this way, you will gain access to remote e-visits to a family doctor as part of the National Health Fund.
How to make an e-visit?
To make an e-visit, go to the website of the selected medical facility, then select a specialist and the appropriate date of the visit. Then the patient will be asked to provide their data, which will be used by the doctor not only to verify the data, but also to write an e-prescription.
The next step is to pay the visit fee (if it is a paid visit). After performing these activities, a consultant from the e-facility will call the patient to confirm all the data. If we are unable to arrange an e-visit, we can ask for help from our relatives or call the selected e-clinic. The consultant will guide the patient through all registration steps.
