Questions

About mental health & behavioural care.

Who can book this service?

Home visits are available to patients with a verified profile — an identity document and a photo confirming it is you, reviewed before the option unlocks. This protects the professional travelling to a private address. Online consultations in this category do not require verification.

How is the price worked out?

Per service, not per hour. Each professional publishes a fixed price for each service they offer and you see it before booking. Fixed pricing avoids the disputes that hourly billing creates.

What if the professional does not arrive?

Payment is held rather than paid across immediately. If the professional does not arrive, you report a no-show in the app and DropDr reviews the booking. Where the service was not delivered, funds are not released and you can be credited or refunded.

Can this professional prescribe medicine?

Only within their registered scope of practice. Where a medicine requires a doctor's prescription, the care provider will refer you to a doctor — which you can do inside DropDr without starting over.

Is this available in my area?

Home visits depend on professionals who cover your location, so availability varies. Online consultations in this category are available wherever you have a stable connection.

DropDr is not an emergency service. If someone is seriously unwell or at risk, contact your local emergency provider immediately. Emergency information.
