OCBC launches app for video consultations with GPs, specialist doctors

SINGAPORE - OCBC Bank has partnered seven medical groups to launch a mobile app that links to more than 100 general practitioners and specialists,

The consultation fee is kept flat at $20 for each tele-consult and in-clinic visit to a GP during normal operating hours. Patients pay a flat fee of $100 for the first tele-consult or in-clinic visit with any of the 63 specialist doctors from 21 specialties including gynaecology, paediatrics, cardiology, dermatology and oncology. Medication and diagnostic procedures are charged separately based on current practices.

The bank added that as Singapore enters a safe re-opening phase from the recent circuit breaker period, and with the Multi-Ministry Taskforce recommending that individuals continue to minimise physical medical visits whenever possible, convenient access to doctors through telehealth will help to stem the spread of the coronavirus. This is expecially so for those more susceptible to the effects of the virus, such as the elderly, those with underlying conditions and expecting mums.

HealthPass by OCBC integrates directly with the partners' clinic management systems, and information is only accessible by users and their doctors, which provides personal data privacy and security, said the bank. Patients can also access digital medical certificates , clinic invoices and laboratory results through the app.
