How Med Call works
-
Contact the Medi24 medical advice centre first if you have health issues or before you go to the doctor.
-
A Medi24 specialist recommends the best treatment pathway for you.
-
After consulting Medi24, you decide for yourself whether or not to see a doctor.
-
You have a free choice of doctor if you decide to consult one.
-
In an emergency, go straight to an emergency doctor or hospital and tell Medi24 afterwards what treatment you received.

Exceptions and obligations
You must always contact Medi24 – by phone or using the Well app – before you make any appointment for treatment with a doctor, therapist, midwife or hospital.
Medi24 will recommend the optimal treatment pathway for you. It is then up to you to decide whether you want to follow it and which doctor you consult.
If you do not want this freedom of choice, you can save even more money on premiums with our two other telemedicine models Tel Doc and Tel Care.
You can go straight to the doctor without contacting Medi24 in the following situations:
- Maternity
- Gynaecological check-ups and treatment
- Outpatient eye examinations and optical aids
- Dental treatment
- Emergencies
In an emergency, you must inform Medi24 by phone or using the Well app at the next possible opportunity.
Med Call provides round-the-clock advice, a free choice of doctor and treatment, and a discount on your premium. We can only provide these advantages if you comply with the obligations set out above.
The first time you fail to contact Medi24 before making an appointment and go straight to a specialist, for example, we will send you a written reminder of your obligations. The second and third times, we reserve the right to reduce the benefits we pay by 50% or 100% respectively. The fourth time, we will transfer you from Med Call to ordinary basic insurance.
