How to get a medical prescription in Mallorca
1) Having a face to face consultation with a registered doctor in Spain, in a clinic or a home/hotel visit.
2) By tele-consultation with a registered doctor:
In some cases, like lack or loss of prescriptions from origin, or some kind of pathologies which doesn’t need an comprehensive physical examination, the telemedicine application method could be very useful, as it is much faster and less expensive for the patient.
Our registered doctors can perform telemedicine and make telematic prescriptions valid in all the Spanish territory through the Receta Privada Electrónica system.

How it works:
The patient books an appointment or contacts us. If it is considered that a telematic consultation is possible, we request the patient to fill the GDPR Consent form.
A payment link will be sent from a secure server platform from the bank. Once the payment is made, it’s possible to procced with the telematic consultation.
Once one of our doctors makes the tele-consultation and evaluates your case.
If prescriptions are needed, after the doctor finishes making them (normally a couple of minutes after the payment is done), they are sent to your email in an attached PDF file with a QR code, valid in all Spain through the REMPe platform.
Note: You don’t need to download any App The PDF with the QR code is enough for most pharmacies to provide the prescribed medications. It’s important though, that you take to the pharmacy the patient’s ID.
In the case that the doctor considers that you need to go to a hospital for further evaluation or tests (blood tests, image tests, etc.), we can indicate the closest and more convenient options, depending on your case and location.
In the case of prescriptions for medication (lost or finished):
The form will take around five minutes, and our doctor will review your request the same day, and may call or email to confirm a clinical detail before deciding.
What we need:
Recently, a comparative study of teleconsultations versus face-to-face consultations has been published in PubMed, revealing a high degree of concordance between the two sets of diagnoses: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11571079/
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Controlled substances, such as narcotics, cannot be prescribed in teleconsultations.
Please discuss alternative options with our healthcare professionals during your appointment.
Your safety and well-being are our priority. Thank you for understanding.

Payments:
When a home/hotel visit is made, or in the case of telematic consultations or prescriptions, we use the Paygold system for payments, where you can pay with your credit/debit card in a secure way.

You just need to follow some simple steps there, as in any internet payment case is done.

Sometimes some credit cards/ banks need a confirmation by SMS, so it’s important that the patient knows how his/her card works with his bank, his PIN number, and have a connection to a phone network.
This is the only remote payment way we accept (we don’t use paypal or bank transfers).
