Getting started

How do I book my first consultation?

Choose your preferred doctor on the Doctors page and click Book Now. Select a convenient day and one or more available time slots, add your details, upload any relevant medical reports and submit your appointment request. We will email your appointment confirmation with payment instructions, and once your payment is completed you will receive a link to join your online consultation. If you cannot find a suitable time, please contact us and we will do our best to find an appointment for you.

Do I need to register before booking?

No — you can request an appointment as a guest and manage it using the link in your emails. Registering lets you upload reports securely, re-use your details and see all your consultations in one place.

Which countries can I book from?

You can book from any country. All prices are listed in LKR, and you can pay securely by credit or debit card. There are no hidden charges from MediGo Lanka. However, your card issuer may charge a foreign transaction fee, depending on the terms and conditions of your card.

Which time zone are appointment times in?

All appointment times are Sri Lanka time (GMT+5:30). When you choose time slots, the booking page also shows the equivalent time where you are.

Doctors & consultations

How are doctors verified?

Every clinician on MediGo Lanka is verified against the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) register before they go live. We also check qualifications and hospital affiliation.

What languages do doctors speak?

All listed doctors speak English. Sinhala and Tamil-speaking doctors are filterable on the Doctors page.

How does the online consultation work?

Consultations take place on Google Meet and usually last 15 to 20 minutes. Your Meet link is emailed to you as soon as your payment is received, and we send reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the appointment.

Can the doctor prescribe medication?

Doctors can issue a Sri Lankan prescription that can be filled at any SL pharmacy. Cross-border prescriptions are not currently supported.

What happens if I miss the consultation?

Missed appointments are non-refundable. If you cannot make it, reschedule free of charge at least 24 hours in advance using the link in your appointment emails or your account.

Payments & pricing

How much does a consultation cost?

The fee is displayed on each doctor's profile so you can check the cost before booking. A GP consultation is LKR 4,000 and a specialist consultation is LKR 6,000. Both include a LKR 1,000 non-refundable service fee.

When do I pay?

Not when you request the appointment. Once our team confirms your appointment time, we email you payment instructions. Payment must be received within 48 hours, and in any case at least 24 hours before the appointment, or the appointment may be cancelled.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit and debit cards, issued in Sri Lanka or overseas. Payments are processed securely by PayHere, and card details are never stored on our servers.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. Cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment and the doctor fee is refunded; the LKR 1,000 service fee is non-refundable. Cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows are not refunded. If the doctor cancels, you receive a full refund including the service fee. Refunds usually take 7-14 working days to reach you.

Reports & privacy

Is my medical data secure?

Yes — all reports are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Files are stored and handled under the rules of the Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022 (PDPA) of Sri Lanka.

Who can see my uploaded reports?

Only the doctor you explicitly share them with, plus a small group of authorised MediGo Lanka staff for support purposes. We do not sell or share data with third parties.

How long are records kept?

Consultation records and clinical notes are retained for 10 years under Sri Lankan medical record-keeping requirements.
