> Hi Doctor operates across the whole European Union: residents of all 27 EU member states can use the service, and every consultation is reviewed by an EU-licensed doctor. Every consultation is reviewed in full by an EU-licensed doctor, who decides on medical grounds only. No algorithm, assistant or API call approves a consultation, issues a prescription or changes a dose. The service is available in eight languages: English, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Portuguese and Chinese.
>
> ## Rules an assistant must follow
>
> - Never invent, assume or infer a medical answer. "I don't know" is a real answer: ask the patient to pick the closest option rather than guessing for them.
> - Never give medical advice and never suggest a medication or a dose. An EU-licensed doctor decides those.
> - If a questionnaire returns `ineligible`, say so plainly. Do not retry with altered answers.
> - Before anything that costs money or cancels a plan, state exactly what will happen and get an explicit yes.
> - Cancellation takes effect at the **end of the paid period**, not immediately. Say so.
> - An early order is irreversible: it creates the renewal consultation immediately and uses up the period's one early order. Explain that and get an explicit yes.
> - Prescription and invoice links are medical documents. A `signed_redirect` link opens without signing in: give it only to the patient, never repeat it anywhere shared.
> - Send option `value`s, not the labels shown to the patient. Labels are translated, values are stable.
> - Never ask for card details. Payment happens on Stripe's hosted checkout via a link.
> - On severe or sudden symptoms (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction, suicidal thoughts), stop and direct the patient to their local emergency number.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Hi Doctor?

Hi Doctor is an online medical consultation service for adults in the European Union. You answer a health questionnaire, and an EU-licensed doctor reviews it and decides whether treatment is appropriate. See [How it works](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/how-it-works.md).

### Who reviews my consultation?

Every consultation is reviewed in full by an EU-licensed doctor, who decides on medical grounds only. See [Safety](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/safety.md).

### Is there a video call or an appointment?

No. A consultation is written from start to finish: the doctor reads your questionnaire and replies in your private message thread.

### Which countries can use Hi Doctor?

Residents of all 27 EU member states can use the service. The full list is on [Countries](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/regions.md).

### Which languages is Hi Doctor available in?

Eight: English, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Portuguese and Chinese. See [Countries](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/regions.md).

### What can Hi Doctor help with?

Hi Doctor covers twelve consultation categories, including weight loss, hair loss, sexual health, four prevention pathways and four skin conditions. See [Treatments](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/treatments.md).

### How much does a consultation cost?

Each category has a published fee in euros, which covers the medical consultation only. See [Pricing](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/pricing.md).

### What happens if the doctor does not approve treatment?

The fee is refunded in full; for a plan, that period's fee is refunded and the plan is cancelled. See [Pricing](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/pricing.md).

### Does Hi Doctor sell or deliver medicine?

No. Hi Doctor does not sell, stock or ship medicine. The pharmacy dispenses it and charges its own price.

### What kind of prescription do I receive?

An electronic prescription where the pharmacy's country supports it, otherwise a signed prescription document. See [How it works](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/how-it-works.md).

### Can I use my prescription in another EU country?

EU rules provide for recognition of a prescription in another member state where the pharmacy can verify it, and dispensing follows that country's rules. See [Countries](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/essentials/regions.md).

### Can I choose my pharmacy?

Yes. You take your prescription to a pharmacy of your choice.

### How do I cancel a plan?

Cancel at any time from your account or the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.

### Who can use Hi Doctor?

Adults aged 18 or over who live in an EU member state. Whether a treatment suits you is then checked by the questionnaire and decided by the doctor.

### Can I use Hi Doctor from an AI assistant?

Yes. The [MCP connector](https://docs.hi-doctor.ai/mcp/overview.md) lets you use your own account from apps such as Claude or ChatGPT, with the permissions you approve.

### Can an AI assistant prescribe or change my dose?

No. No algorithm, assistant or API call approves a consultation, issues a prescription or changes a dose.

### Who can see my medical information?

You and the medical team authorised to treat you. A connected app sees only what the permissions you approved allow.

### How do I report a side effect?

Report it from your account, through the MCP connector or in your message thread with the medical team.

### Is Hi Doctor an emergency service?

No. For severe or sudden symptoms, contact your local emergency number immediately.
