General Medical Consultation

When you're not yet sure whether specialist expertise is needed

When you have a non-emergency health concern but are not yet sure what level of expertise you need, a General Medical Consultation can provide a clinical starting point and help frame the appropriate next step.

Starting price
From $99

Consultations are not currently open for public booking through this website.

It may suit you if you are thinking

  • I have a non-emergency health concern, but I don't know whether I need a specialist.
  • I need to talk through what has been happening before I know what to do next.
  • I may need an examination or tests, but I want to understand the next step.

Illustrative situations, not client quotations.

What you may receive

  • Discussion of a suitable general health concern and relevant history
  • Clinical advice where remote consultation is appropriate
  • Identification of questions that may require local examination, tests or imaging
  • Consideration of whether specialist expertise or another local service may be appropriate

Good to know

General medical consultations are not emergency care and cannot replace physical assessment, investigations or treatment where those are required. Availability depends on clinician, jurisdiction and clinical suitability.

Specialist Consultation

When the relevant specialty is already clear

You may already have a local doctor and a clear understanding of the problem. What is harder to reach is deeper expertise in a particular medical field.

Starting price
From $149
Not currently available.

Consultations are not currently open for public booking through this website.

What you may receive

  • A consultation with a specialist whose clinical field is relevant to the question
  • An explanation of the clinical considerations that matter in the case
  • A written consultation summary, where applicable, that can be shared with the clinicians involved locally
  • Questions and possible next steps to discuss with local care

Good to know

Specialty and clinician availability varies by location, professional registration, applicable requirements and clinical suitability. Remote consultation cannot provide every examination, investigation or treatment that may be needed.

Expert Second Opinion

For another view on an existing diagnosis or proposed treatment

An important decision is easier to make when it has been considered more than once. A second opinion is not a verdict on the clinicians already involved — it is an additional specialist perspective on the information available, for the patient and the treating team to weigh together.

Starting price

Consultations are not currently open for public booking through this website.

It may suit you if you are thinking

  • A major operation has been proposed, and I want to be sure before agreeing to it.
  • The diagnosis is serious, and I would like it looked at by another specialist as well.
  • I have been offered more than one treatment option and I am not sure how to weigh them.

Illustrative situations, not client quotations.

What you may receive

  • An independent specialist's assessment of the information provided
  • An explanation of how that specialist reads the diagnosis, findings or proposed plan
  • Where relevant, other reasonable options and the considerations behind them
  • A written summary the patient can discuss with the treating clinician
  • Questions that may be worth raising locally before the decision is made

Good to know

A second opinion adds another professional perspective; it does not direct the treating clinician and does not automatically replace an existing plan or care pathway. The scope depends on the records available, clinician, jurisdiction and clinical suitability.

What to expect

The same simple steps for each consultation.

The details depend on the consultation and the clinician, but the shape of the process stays the same.

  1. Share the question

    Provide the clinical question and relevant history or records that may help the clinician understand the case.

  2. Review suitability and expertise

    The request is reviewed for remote suitability, relevant expertise, availability and jurisdiction.

  3. Consultation or specialist review

    An independent clinician considers the question and provides an assessment, perspective or written summary, depending on the pathway.

  4. Understand the next step

    Any examination, treatment, investigations or follow-up continue through appropriate local healthcare services where needed.

Information that may help

You do not need a complete clinical record; relevant context helps focus the consultation and makes its remote limits clearer.

  • A description of the concern, symptoms and when they began
  • Relevant medical history and current medicines
  • Known allergies or previous reactions where relevant
  • Any recent results, reports or advice already received
  • The questions that matter most to you

Trust and transparency

Clear about who does what.

Independent clinicians

Where clinical services are offered through Tibacare, they are provided by independently practising healthcare professionals, who remain responsible for their own assessments, advice, decisions, documentation, and professional practice.

Tibacare provides technology, coordination, governance, and operational infrastructure.

How clinicians are verified 

Fees

Starting prices apply to the standard form of the service. The final price can vary with the preparation, specialist expertise and case complexity involved.

What remote care cannot do

Remote consultation is not appropriate for every medical situation. Physical assessment, investigations, treatment, and continuing hands-on care remain with appropriate local healthcare services.

Clinician, service, and market availability depends on specialty, location, professional registration, jurisdiction, pathway readiness, and clinical suitability.

Your information

Share medical records or identity documents only through the secure workflow approved for the relevant service. Do not send sensitive information through a general public channel.

Questions

Common questions about consultations.

Should I start with a general or specialist consultation?

A general medical route may help frame a suitable non-emergency concern when the relevant specialty is unclear. A specialist route may be more appropriate when the clinical field is already known. Suitability still needs to be assessed for the individual situation.

What is an expert second opinion?

It is another relevant clinical perspective on an existing diagnosis, proposed treatment, or important decision. It complements the professionals already involved and does not automatically replace an existing care plan.

What could happen after a consultation?

Depending on the clinician, pathway, and clinical need, next steps may include clarification, a summary, suggested questions for a local team, local assessment, further expertise, or follow-up. No single outcome is guaranteed.

Who provides clinical advice?

Clinical advice is provided by an independently practising clinician, not by Tibacare. The clinician remains responsible for their advice, decisions, professional conduct, and scope of practice.

Does Tibacare replace my local doctor or hospital?

No. Physical examination, investigations, medicines, procedures, emergency treatment, and hands-on continuing care remain with appropriate local healthcare services. Remote expertise complements those services where suitable.

Are all specialties available everywhere?

No. Specialty and service availability depends on clinician participation, clinical suitability, the pathway, and jurisdiction. A specialty name on the website should not be read as universal availability.
