Refund Policy

A full refund can be requested and issued in the following cases:
- Cancellation 24 hours before the visit. A patient cancels their appointment at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. For cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled time, a $50 fee is applied as a late cancellation charge.
- Late cancellation or late rescheduling from the provider’s side. A provider cancels or reschedules the appointment prior to its time, and a patient declines to reschedule the appointment.
- Technical issues on the provider’s side. In the event of technical issues on the provider’s side that prevent the consultation from starting, MEDvidi specialists will make every effort to reschedule the appointment at a mutually convenient time. If rescheduling is not possible, a full refund of the appointment cost will be provided.
- A need for another medical provider. If a patient has scheduled an appointment with a medical provider not licensed in the patient’s state, or if a patient appeared in such a situation after rescheduling an appointment, the MEDvidi team will make every effort to reschedule the appointment or initiate a refund if rescheduling is not possible.
- No-show or late arrival of the provider. If the provider arrives 15 minutes late or more, the no-show fee is not applicable, and the patient has the option to be rescheduled at the earliest available time.
- Unavailable time slots. If a patient has paid for their visit and there were no appointments available that would accommodate their schedule in a reasonable and timely manner, a refund can be requested.
Refunds cannot be requested and issued in the following cases:
- The appointment started. Once the appointment starts, no refund can be requested or issued unless the circumstances stated in points 1.3 or 1.4 are effective.
- External issues on the patient’s side. MEDvidi is not responsible for any external factors that may impact the quality or availability of the online video consultation, including but not limited to internet connectivity issues on the patient’s side.
- No-show or late arrival of the patient. If a patient fails to show up for a scheduled appointment or fails to log in within 5 minutes of their scheduled appointment time, and the provider was available, a refund request is not warranted. The prepaid funds remain in the patient’s account, and the patient is charged the $50 no-show fee. Before a patient reschedules an appointment, they would need to replace the amount previously deducted from their account for the no-show fee.
- Pharmacy and medication availability issues: MEDvidi is dedicated to delivering quality healthcare services during your appointment but cannot guarantee that your selected pharmacy will fill your prescription, if one is prescribed to you. The availability and acceptance of prescriptions are subject to the policies and stock of individual pharmacies, which are beyond MEDvidi’s control. Refunds will not be issued if prescriptions are not filled due to pharmacy policies or stock availability issues.
  Before scheduling your appointment, we strongly recommend that you verify with your pharmacy whether they will fill prescriptions issued via telehealth.
