Why did I receive an email confirming an appointment I booked?

If you have received an email from Goto.health confirming an appointment made directly with your clinic, this has been sent to you on behalf of your clinic who uses our services.

These emails are automatically sent as a courtesy for any appointment at the clinic regardless of whether it was booked using HotDoc or directly at the clinic. The purpose of these emails are to (1) confirm your booking, and (2) provide any additional information such as access to a digital New Patient Registration form

Can I opt out of receiving these emails?

If you would prefer not to receive these emails, you can unsubscribe via the link at the bottom of the email or by letting your clinic know that you'd like to opt out of this kind of communication.

Payment information and saftey

I have been asked to add my card details via SMS after registering, do I need to enter them again?

No, Goto.Health pre-authorises the card at the time of registration, if you choose to skip this step, it will be prompted when you make your first appointment.

What will my card information be used for?

Your payment information is taken to ensure there is a valid payment method.

When will I be charged for my appointment?

You will only be charged after your scheduled appointment with your chosen provider has ended. The charge should take between 3–5 business days to fully process and clear.

How is my card information kept secure?

Your card information is securely stored using sophisticated encryption methods by our global payments partner, Airwallex. This means that your data and any transactions you make via Goto.health are kept secure and confidential at all times.

Does it cost me anything to add my card details?

No. Adding your card details to your Goto.health account is 100% free; however, it may appear on your transaction statement as a notification. With Goto.health, just add your card details once – during a booking or when you’re setting up your account – and when you’ve completed your scheduled appointment, the payment will be automatically processed. It’s that easy.

What happens when I add my card details?

Goto.Health will only pre-authorise your payment information and not charge you anything until your appointment is made.

Does adding my card cost me anything?

No, the pre-authorising process should not incur a financial deduction, however, it may show up in your transaction statement to notify you.
