How it works

Your prescription in 3 simple steps

No waiting room. No video calls. No hassle. The process is asynchronous and is used in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Step 1
Choose your treatment

Browse the available treatments and select the one that best describes your situation.
If you have any questions, the Urgent Medical Consultation is a good place to start.

Step 2
Complete the medical questionnaire

A short set of questions, designed by doctors, about your medical history and symptoms. Everything is encrypted. Everything is confidential.

No camera, no call, no waiting.

Step 3
Get your digital prescription

After reviewing your case, if it is medically appropriate, you will receive the prescription via email.
Valid at any pharmacy in Portugal and the European Union.

Our Mission

Healthcare as it should be: fast, professional, and hassle-free.

We created DoctorNow because we saw too many people giving up on treatment due to long wait times, difficulty scheduling appointments, or simply feeling embarrassed to discuss certain topics in front of others. Our asynchronous telemedicine model—already common in the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom—puts you back in control of your health.

Frictionless

Choose your treatment, fill out a medical questionnaire, and, if approved, you will receive a prescription.
No video calls. No travel.
Without missing half-day of work.

Real doctors

Each case is reviewed by licensed Portuguese physicians who are registered with the Portuguese Medical Association. It is not an algorithm that makes the decision—it is a physician, using their qualified digital signature.

Complete privacy

Your data is encrypted and never shared. When it comes to sensitive topics—erectile dysfunction, STDs, hair loss—there’s no need to explain anything to a receptionist.
Just you and your doctor.

As I do not yet have a family doctor and have several medications I need to take on a daily basis, I am pleased that I can renew the prescriptions for these medications from home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you get started

1. Do I need to schedule a video call with the doctor?

No. The entire process is asynchronous. You fill out a clinical questionnaire designed by doctors, and your response is reviewed by a licensed Portuguese doctor. If it is medically appropriate, you will receive a digital prescription without needing a video call.

Yes, absolutely. We are telemedicine providers certified by the Health Regulatory Authority (ERS), and all prescriptions are digitally signed by doctors registered with the Portuguese Medical Association, using a qualified digital signature as required by Portuguese law. The prescriptions are valid at any pharmacy in Portugal—and in any European Union country, under Directive 2011/24/EU.

For most services, within 10 minutes of payment and completion of the questionnaire, during business hours. For sick leave and medical certificates (driver’s license), the turnaround time is up to 1 business hour. You will always receive them via email and SMS.

Yes. All data is encrypted and processed in accordance with the GDPR. Only the doctor responsible for your case has access to the questionnaire. Nothing is shared with third parties, nor does it appear in records visible to other users or companies.

Yes. You can suggest your preferred treatment in the questionnaire. The doctor will assess whether it is medically appropriate for your case. If it is, they will prescribe it. If not, they will suggest a safe alternative and explain why—by email or phone, if necessary.

That is indeed the case, and it is the correct procedure. If your situation requires a physical examination, additional tests, or direct observation, the doctor will refer you to the appropriate in-person appointment, and we will issue a full refund for the amount paid.

Prices are always clearly displayed for each service—ranging from €30 to €60 for sick notes and medical certificates. There are no monthly fees, membership fees, or hidden costs. You only pay for the medical evaluation you request.

Payment is made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard) or MB WAY through our secure checkout process. The questionnaire is sent to the doctor for review only after payment has been confirmed.
