Dr. Now Supports Full Delivery Fee for Medicine on First COVID-19 Consultation

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Remote medical platform DoctorNow announced on the 29th that it will provide free delivery fees for non-face-to-face medical prescriptions for COVID-19 patients.

DoctorNow explained that, with the recent full-scale resurgence of COVID-19, it has decided to operate a temporary support policy to minimize the cost burden on confirmed patients. From this day forward, anyone who registers on the DoctorNow app can receive support regardless of region, age, or other conditions.

When users select the COVID-19 treatment option on the DoctorNow app and receive treatment, the free prescription drug delivery fee benefit is automatically applied. Users can access non-face-to-face medical treatment and drug delivery services nationwide through over 1,500 DoctorNow partner medical institutions. Additionally, one-on-one chat consultations with a 'dedicated doctor' and a 'medication reminder' service are provided to support health management after non-face-to-face treatment.

Jang Ji-ho, CEO of DoctorNow, said, “DoctorNow has medical staff specialized in COVID-19 treatment such as internal medicine, otolaryngology, and pediatrics, as well as a nationwide network of partner pharmacies, enabling fast non-face-to-face treatment anytime and anywhere. By providing a system that covers the entire process from COVID-19 testing site verification to non-face-to-face treatment, prescription drug delivery, and expert health management services, we are striving to help confirmed patients regain a healthy daily life.”
