Payments & Refunds

Unfortunately, telehealth consultations are not covered by Medicare or most private health insurers. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm their current policies.
What is your refund policy?
We strive to provide the best care possible during your telehealth consultation. If you’re not satisfied with the consultation for any reason, please contact us at hello@scripted.clinic within 7 days of your consultation. We may offer a partial or full refund depending on the circumstances, such as:
- If there was a technical issue that prevented the consultation from taking place.
- If the consultation was deemed inappropriate or not in line with the services we provide.
Refunds will not be issued if the consultation was completed successfully, and the treatment plan was appropriately prescribed according to medical guidelines.
Please note that consultation fees are non-refundable if a prescription is issued, as the consultation itself is a service provided.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all major credit and debit cards. Additional payment methods may be available; please refer to our payment page for the latest information.
What charges will appear on my bank statement?
Charges will appear under the name ‘Scripted Clinic’ or a related descriptor.
