Online consultations are also possible within a minimum of 30 minutes.
*The time until an online consultation can be conducted varies depending on the doctor's availability, consultation content, time zone, etc. We do not guarantee a response within a minimum of 30 minutes.
This service utilizes Medifellow's online medical consultation system, which includes over 500 Japanese specialist doctors across 33 specialties. Medifellow has historically supported the medical anxieties of Japanese people around the world by optimizing medical visit behavior, confirming treatment policies, transmitting medical information via referral letters, advising on over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and assisting with communication at local medical institutions.
The individual plan is offered at a fixed rate of 198 USD for 180 days. During the contract period, continuous consultations can be made without additional charges, based on specified terms of use.
