Book a Doctor Online

Search the clinician directory by name, speciality or town. Each profile shows the doctor’s HPCSA registration, where they practise, the languages they speak, their fee, and whether they consult by video.

Choose in person or video, pick an open time, and pay the fee shown on the profile. Your booking is confirmed straight away and appears in your appointments with a reminder.

After the visit, anything the doctor issues — a prescription, a sick note, a referral — is added to your record and carries a code anyone can check at nuhealth.co.za/verify.

Each doctor’s card in the directory shows when they next consult — “Consulting today” or the next day they have open times. If nobody near you is free today, a video consultation is often the quickest way to be seen.

If it is an emergency — chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, severe bleeding — do not book: call 10177 for an ambulance (112 from a cell phone) or go to your nearest emergency unit.

Every doctor sets their own consultation fee, shown on their profile before you book. You pay per visit; you do not need a subscription to book.

If your medical scheme reimburses consultations, keep the receipt from your records to claim it.
