Provisional License

A provisional license permits a healthcare Provider to deliver care directly to patients residing in an overseas territory via our  tele-health platform. This includes transmission of electronic prescriptions, lab and radiology requests to partner service providers on GoDocta.com.

A provisional license does not permit in-person care outside of the jurisdiction where a Provider holds a full license. 

Example: “if you are fully licensed to practice only in Antigua and Barbuda; a Provisional License issued by a governing body in Saint Kitts and Nevis does not permit you to provide in-person care to patients in that country.”

Once approved by GoDocta.com, an overseas Provider may begin delivering care via our website using our Provider Bridge arrangement

Meanwhile, the information submitted here will be forwarded to the local medical council in the territories where GoDocta tele-health services are offered. The decision of the local licensing authority supersedes any internal processes for approvals on GoDocta.

Provider Bridge

A provider bridge allows an overseas practitioner to deliver care across borders to patients requiring specific expertise not typically available or easily accessible in their home country. 

HOW IT WORKS

GoDocta.com serves as bridge connecting an Overseas Provider (usually a specialist) to another Local Provider (usually a GP or family Practitioner) holding a full unencumbered licensed to practice in the same country as the patient receiving care.

The Local Provider coordinates care in collaboration with the Overseas Provider by facilitating lab and radiology order requests and results, prescriptions, follow up and monitoring where required in the jurisdiction where the patient resides.

This arrangement is deemed a Professional Collaboration and not a business agreement between the parties. Both practitioners are expected to charge independently for their services at fair market value and there is no obligation to maintain this relationship beyond the period it is deemed relevant or mutually beneficial.

GoDocta.com strongly discourages any financial arrangements (referral bonuses, duplication of services) that increases the costs of delivering care to the patient beyond what would ordinarily be paid if the services were individually solicited.
