Waiting Time

Global Telehealth doctors are available with no time constraints. We know that time is important when you aren’t feeling well. The length of consultations can vary but the average consultation time can be anywhere up to 30 minutes.

Appointments are typically scheduled for the same day+. Careful consideration of your language preference and the current time zone are key factors in determining when an appointment can be scheduled.

Consultations

The Telehealth doctor is assigned based on date, time and language preference in your particular time zone. Most likely, it will be a different doctor from the one you consulted with during the initial session. However, the doctor you confer with will be able to review notes from your previous Telehealth consultations. This provides consistency and assures that you’ll receive optimal care.

Yes. Doctors will be able to call you back to follow up on your care when needed.

Yes. When the doctor has enough medical information on your case, and when legally available* then a prescription or treatment recommendation can be provided. Should you receive a prescription, you’ll need to take it to a local pharmacy to order and collect your medication. There may be times when a Telehealth doctor may not be able to provide a prescription** or feels that an in-person consultation is needed in order to obtain a prescription.

After a video consultation, notes and any applicable prescription(s) by the Telehealth doctor will be uploaded to your Cigna Wellbeing® app, where they can be accessed and viewed. After a telephone consultation, the doctor’s notes and any applicable prescription(s) are emailed to you.
