Via an e-consult, you can quickly ask your healthcare professional a question online. Healthcare professionals make the choice themselves whether to use the e-consult, so it is not available in every Healthspace.
If your healthcare professional uses the e-consult, you will find a button in the top left corner of your Healthspace Worksheet:
Suitable questions for the e-consultation are:
- questions about test results
- questions about chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or asthma
- questions about medication
- questions about lifestyle advice, such as weight loss, nutrition, alcohol consumption, and quitting smoking
- questions about (physical) complaints for which you have previously visited the consultation
- questions arising from a previous consultation
Not suitable for the e-consultation (but please call the practice for advice or an appointment):
- urgent questions
- questions where you are unsure about the urgency
- complaints that worsen or change
- questions about new physical complaints
- questions about emotional problems
Reimbursement
The e-consultation is not free, but is reimbursed by your insurer.
