Running low on your regular medication and can’t get the time off work to see your doctor?
Just booked in with your specialist and they have informed you that you need a new referral?
Sage Medical is now offering an online request facility via our website and the HotDoc app that has your needs covered. You simply need to submit your request and payment details online and wait for us to do the rest. A fee is charged for each request and will vary based on urgency and delivery method.
Electronic prescriptions will be sent via SMS and referrals via email directly to your specialist.
We have streamlined the process to allow for standard requests to be fulfilled within 3 business days and URGENT requests to be processed within 1 business day.
