VIRTUAL HEALTHCARE
What to Expect From Your Online Video Consultation
How do I check if I’m eligible for a video consultation?
Video consultations are suitable for most patients who do not need a physical examination. They may not be appropriate if you require hands-on physical examination or need laboratory tests that cannot be done remotely. Video consultations are not a substitute for your regular doctor if you have a serious or life-threatening condition.
How do I complete my health profile?
Before booking, ensure your health profile is up to date. Your clinician will use this information to provide safe, personalised care. You may need to provide current medications and supplements, known allergies and adverse reactions, existing medical conditions, previous surgeries or hospitalisations, family medical history (where relevant), current symptoms or health concerns, height and weight (for BMI calculation), and blood pressure readings (where required).
How do I check my device is ready for a video consultation?
Make sure NowPatient has permission to access your camera and microphone, you have a stable internet or Wi-Fi connection, and you are using a compatible smartphone, tablet, or PC.
How do I select a service?
Log in to your NowPatient account and navigate to the relevant Service Card on your homepage. Follow the prompts for the service you need (e.g., NHS Pharmacy First, Weight Loss, Buying Treatments Online). Please remember, some services have eligibility requirements before you can book a consultation.
How do I choose a date for my appointment?
Select your preferred consultation date. You can add notes at this stage to help the clinician prepare for your session. Click Continue.
How do I choose a time for my appointment?
Select your preferred appointment time from the available slots and click Continue. Slots are available up to 7 days in advance.
How do I choose a clinician?
Browse available clinicians trained for your chosen service. You can filter by gender or spoken languages. Each clinician's full name, licence number, and specialist credentials are displayed. Select your preferred clinician and click Continue.
How do I review my booking?
Check the summary of your appointment and read the Pre-consultation Requirements for tips on how to prepare. Click Continue.
What safety information do I need to provide?
Enter your consultation address (where you will be during the call) and emergency contact details. You can also opt in to receive an SMS reminder 30 minutes before your appointment.
How do I confirm my booking?
Click Confirm Booking. You will receive an in-app confirmation pop-up, push and in-app notifications, and a confirmation email with details of what to expect.
How do I take my blood pressure via the app?
Some services require a recent blood pressure reading before your consultation. If prompted, open the blood pressure tool in the NowPatient app, read and agree to the disclaimer, enter your age, height, and gender, and follow the on-screen instructions. The tool uses your smartphone's front-facing camera — no cuff or wearable required. Classified as a Class I Medical Device (CE and UKCA certified). Available on iOS and Android only.
How do I join my video consultation?
At your scheduled time, open the NowPatient app and join your consultation.
How does identity verification work?
Your clinician will introduce themselves and verify your identity. Please have your ID ready.
What declarations do I need to confirm?
You will be reminded that you must complete the consultation for yourself, disclose all medical conditions, illnesses, and operations, disclose all prescription medications you are currently taking, and provide accurate and honest responses throughout. Withholding or providing false information can severely harm your health.
What happens during my clinical assessment?
Your clinician will carry out an assessment relevant to your chosen service. Depending on the service, this may lead to issuance of a prescription (added to your cart), guided counselling, discussion of test results, or general health advice.
What does it mean to consent to inform my doctor?
With your consent, your clinician may inform your regular doctor of the consultation outcome. NowPatient strongly recommends agreeing to this, as your GP is responsible for your overall care.
How will I receive my post-consultation summary?
You will receive a notification summarising the outcome of your appointment, any referrals made to your doctor, and any advice given by your clinician. If a referral letter was issued, you can view it in the Documents section of your account.
How do I complete my order if treatment was prescribed?
If your clinician prescribed a treatment, go to your Cart, complete any payment exemptions (such as NHS Exemption Declaration if applicable), select Checkout, choose your delivery address and method, confirm your billing address, review your order and submit payment. Your order will be sent to NowPatient’s licensed online pharmacy for processing and dispatch.
How do I complete the feedback survey?
You may receive a short survey about your experience. NowPatient encourages all patients to complete it — your feedback helps improve the service for everyone.
How do I cancel a video consultation, and what happens if I miss my appointment?
To cancel an appointment:
Go to the Consultations section of your account.
Select Upcoming Consultations.
Choose the appointment you wish to cancel.
Click Cancel and confirm.

HOW IT WORKS
Common Questions About This Service
How does NowPatient help with medication costs?
NowPatient offers five different ways to reduce the cost of your Tri-Lo-Sprintec prescription. Each program works differently and has its own eligibility rules. The FAQs below explain what each option is, how to find out whether it is available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec, and exactly how to use it.

What is Canadian Rx Savings and how does it work?
What is the Canadian Rx Savings program?
Canadian Rx Savings connects you with Prescription Help, a licensed Canadian pharmacy partner. Because prescription drug prices in Canada are regulated by the government, many medications cost significantly less than they do in the United States — sometimes 50–80% less for the same brand-name drug.
Is Canadian Rx Savings available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec?
Availability depends on whether Prescription Help currently stocks Tri-Lo-Sprintec and can ship it to your location. On the Tri-Lo-Sprintec page you will see the Canadian Rx Savings panel showing either a price and available options, or the message 'Medication not available'. If it shows as unavailable you can check back at a later date, as stock changes regularly.
How do I use Canadian Rx Savings?
If Canadian Rx Savings is shown as available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec, follow these steps:
- Click the Canadian Rx Savings option on the Tri-Lo-Sprintec page.
- You will be directed to the NowPatient Canadian Rx Savings price comparison tool.
- Enter your medication details and dosage to see the price available through Prescription Help.
- If you wish to proceed, you should open a NowPatient account.
- Add the medication to your Cart and complete the checkout process.
- A valid US prescription is required.
- Prescription Help will process and ship your order from a licensed Canadian pharmacy.
- Delivery is typically by tracked international mail. Shipping times vary but are typically 7–10 working days.
Who is eligible for Canadian Rx Savings?
Canadian Rx Savings is suitable for US residents regardless of insurance status — insured, underinsured, or uninsured. It cannot be used in combination with Medicare or Medicaid. You must have a valid prescription issued by a licensed US physician.
What is a Telehealth Visit and how does it work?
What is a Telehealth Visit?
A Telehealth Visit allows you to consult with a licensed clinician via a secure online video call — from your home, on your schedule. Clinicians can assess your condition, issue or renew prescriptions, advise on your treatment, and in some cases prescribe more cost-effective alternatives to expensive brand-name drugs.
Is the Telehealth Visit available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec?
On the Tri-Lo-Sprintec page, the Telehealth Visit panel will display either a booking option or show as 'Unavailable'. Telehealth availability for specific medications is subject to clinician scope of practice and clinical suitability. If it shows as unavailable for Tri-Lo-Sprintec specifically, other savings options on the page may still apply.
How do I book a Telehealth Visit?
If Telehealth is shown as available, follow these steps:
- Create a NowPatient Account.
- Search for your medication.
- If available, click the Telehealth Visit option on the Tri-Lo-Sprintec savings page.
- Select a date and time that suits you from the available appointment slots.
- Join your video consultation at the scheduled time using the secure NowPatient platform.
- The clinician will review your case and, if clinically appropriate, issue or renew your prescription.
- Your prescription will be dispensed directly through NowPatient.
Who is eligible for a Telehealth Visit?
Telehealth visits are available to US residents. You do not need insurance to book a consultation. Fees vary by clinician and appointment type. The service is not a substitute for emergency care.
What is the Rx Advantage Card and how does it work?
What is the Rx Advantage Card?
The NowPatient Rx Advantage Card is a free prescription savings card that can reduce the cost of medications by up to 90% at more than 65,000 participating pharmacies across the United States, including major chains such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, and Kroger. It is not health insurance — it is a discount program that negotiates lower prices directly with pharmacies on your behalf.
Is the Rx Advantage Card available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec?
The Rx Advantage Card is available for the vast majority of FDA-approved medications including generics. You can check the exact price at your preferred pharmacy by using the Rx Advantage Card pharmacy price checker on NowPatient. The discount amount will vary by pharmacy and location.
How do I use the Rx Advantage Card?
- Visit the Rx Advantage Card section on the Tri-Lo-Sprintec page and click 'Save up to 90%'.
- Use the pharmacy price checker to find the lowest Tri-Lo-Sprintec price near you.
- Download or print your free Rx Advantage Card from NowPatient — no registration required.
- Present the card at the pharmacy counter when collecting your prescription. You can also show it on your phone, from your NowPatient documents section of the app.
- The discounted price is applied immediately at the point of dispensing.
- The card can be used repeatedly for all your prescriptions — it never expires.
Who is eligible for the Rx Advantage Card?
The Rx Advantage Card is available to anyone in the United States — insured, underinsured, or uninsured. It is particularly useful for patients who have not yet met their insurance deductible, whose insurance does not cover a particular drug, or who simply want to compare prices before using their insurance. It cannot be used together with insurance at the point of sale. The Rx Advantage Card is NOT insurance.
What are Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) and how do they work?
What is a Patient Assistance Program?
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are charitable programs run by pharmaceutical manufacturers. They provide eligible patients with their prescribed medications at little or no cost. PAPs are designed for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or who cannot otherwise afford their medication, regardless of whether a generic is available.
Is a PAP available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec?
PAP availability for Tri-Lo-Sprintec depends on which manufacturer is sponsoring the program and whether a qualifying program currently exists for this molecule. On the Tri-Lo-Sprintec savings page the PAP panel will either show available program details or display 'Unavailable'. Because Tri-Lo-Sprintec is available as a generic from multiple manufacturers, a branded PAP (e.g., for Emend) may exist even when the generic panel shows as unavailable.
You can also check by visiting the NowPatient PAP eligibility checker:
How do I apply for a Patient Assistance Program?
- Click the PAP option on the Tri-Lo-Sprintec savings page, or use the PAP eligibility checker linked above.
- Enter your medication name, dosage, household income, and insurance status.
- NowPatient will display any matching PAP programs and their eligibility criteria.
- Each program has its own application process. NowPatient provides direct links and guidance for each one.
- You will typically need to provide proof of income, proof of residency, and a completed enrollment form signed by your prescribing physician.
- Once approved, medication is usually shipped directly to your physician's office or your home at no charge.
- Approval timelines vary by manufacturer — typically 2 to 6 weeks.
- NowPatient can refer you to its PAP partner should you wish to pay them to handle the paperwork and submission.
Who is eligible for a Patient Assistance Program?
Eligibility varies by program but common criteria include:
- US residency
- Uninsured, underinsured, or unable to afford cost-sharing
- Household income below a specified threshold (often 200–400% of the federal poverty level)
- Valid prescription from a licensed US physician
Some programs also accept patients whose insurance does not cover the prescribed medication. Medicare and Medicaid patients may be eligible for certain programs. Always check the individual program's terms.
What are Drug Coupons and how can they help me lower the cost of my medication?
What are Drug Coupons?
Drug coupons (also called manufacturer copay cards or copay assistance programs) are issued by pharmaceutical companies to help commercially insured patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs. They work like a secondary payer — the coupon covers part or all of your insurance copay or coinsurance, so you pay less or even nothing at the pharmacy.
Are Drug Coupons available for Tri-Lo-Sprintec?
Drug coupon availability is linked to manufacturer programs. Generic medications often do not have manufacturer coupons, whereas branded versions may. On the Tri-Lo-Sprintec savings page, the Drug Coupons panel will show either a coupon offer or display 'Unavailable'. You can also check via the NowPatient drug coupons eligibility checker:
Search Drug Coupons for Tri-Lo-Sprintec
If no coupon is available for generic Tri-Lo-Sprintec, you may wish to check whether a coupon exists for the brand.
How do I use a Drug Coupon?
- Click the Drug Coupons option on the Tri-Lo-Sprintec savings page, or use the eligibility checker linked above.
- Confirm your commercial insurance status — coupons cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government-funded insurance.
- If a coupon is available, you will receive a coupon code or savings card either digitally or by mail.
- Present the coupon at the pharmacy alongside your prescription and insurance card.
- The pharmacy will bill your insurance first, then apply the coupon to reduce or eliminate your remaining copay.
- Some coupons apply automatically via your pharmacy's system — no card needed.
Who is eligible for Drug Coupons?
Drug coupons are strictly for patients with commercial (private) health insurance. They cannot legally be used by patients covered under:
- Medicare Part D
- Medicaid
- Any other government-funded health programme
This restriction is set by the manufacturers themselves in compliance with federal anti-kickback laws. Uninsured patients should use the Rx Advantage Card or Patient Assistance Program options instead.

Can I have my order delivered to my workplace or a neighbour?
Yes. From your second order onwards, you can have your medication delivered to any address, including your workplace, a family member's address, or a neighbour. All parcels are sent in discreet, unmarked packaging, so the contents will not be identifiable.
How do I update or add a new delivery address?
You can manage your delivery addresses directly within your NowPatient account settings. Additional addresses can also be added during the checkout process when selecting your delivery address. Simply select 'Add a new address' and enter the required details.
What should I do if my order hasn't arrived?

What if my order arrives damaged?
If your order arrives in a damaged condition, please do not use the medication and contact our customer care team immediately. Please retain the original packaging and, if possible, take photographs of the damage, as this will help us raise a claim with the courier and arrange a replacement for you as quickly as possible.
My tracking shows delivered but I haven't received my parcel — what should I do?
First, check with any neighbours or safe locations at your property (such as a porch or outbuilding). If you still cannot locate your parcel, please contact our customer care team and we will investigate the matter with the courier on your behalf.
What happens if I miss my delivery?
If you miss a delivery, the courier will typically leave a card with instructions for rescheduling or collecting your parcel from a local depot. For cold-chain deliveries, it is particularly important to arrange redelivery promptly to maintain product integrity. If you have concerns about a missed cold-chain delivery, please contact our customer care team for guidance.
If you ship international, do I need to handle duties?
No. Our prices include customs duties, wherever you are located.
How are NHS repeat prescriptions delivered?
Once your GP has approved your prescription request, NowPatient's regulated online pharmacy will dispense and dispatch your medication. You will be notified at each stage of the process. NHS prescriptions are dispatched via Royal Mail Tracked 24 & Signed for next-day delivery, provided the order is placed before 3:00pm on a
working day.
Is delivery free for NHS prescriptions?
