Paying for your appointment in HotDoc
When you book online through the HotDoc app or website, you may be prompted to enter your credit or debit card details before your consultation. The request will come from HotDoc and is safe and secure. This will hold your booking, and your payment will only be processed through HotDoc after you’ve been seen for your appointment.
Similarly, when you book an appointment over the phone or in person at our clinic, you may be sent an SMS or email containing a secure link to safely add your credit or debit card details.
Your appointment fee will NOT be deducted until after your appointment. The card number secures the appointment and confirmed the date and time. If the doctor decides to bulk bill, there will be no funds withdrawn.

Recalls and reminders
It is best practice to operate a recall system for abnormal results for pathology, radiology or specialist. Your local SmartClinics has a recall system in place and we ask for your understanding and acceptance of this policy. If necessary, you will be contacted by one of the Doctors, Nursing Sisters or Receptionists – by letter, phone or SMS – usually to make an appointment concerning these results.
Pre-consultation questionnaires
Your doctor may use BetterConsult pre-consultation questionnaires to give you the privacy and time to answer questions about your history, symptoms and current medications more accurately. This secure pre-consultation questionnaire lets your doctor spend more time with you during your appointment, discussing treatment options, answering your questions, and focusing on your health outcomes.
Before your appointment, you may receive an SMS with a link to complete this multiple-choice online questionnaire for your doctor. It is safe to click this link, but if you are unsure, please speak with our Reception team.
Be consult ready:
- Help your doctor know the reasons for your visit
- Request scripts and a medical certificate so you don’t forget
- Get more face-to-face time with your doctor
- All your responses are private and confidential
BetterConsult is a safe and secure platform and all data is deleted within 72 hours.
