What is a follow-up visit and how to add it?
A follow-up visit is a consultation that takes place after an initial appointment.
Follow-ups help ensure that your clients or patients continue to receive the best possible care.
To add a follow-up visit to your profile:
Go to My Profile.
Select Add Consultation Type.
Choose Follow-Up Visit.
Enter your fee for this visit.
Once saved, your follow-up visit will appear among your available consultation options — making it easier for returning clients to book with you again.
Follow-Up Settings in the Schedule
The doctor can configure the following parameters in their schedule:
Follow-up consultation duration — how long the visit lasts.
Follow-up consultation validity period — until when the patient can book a follow-up visit.
Booking calendar days limit — how many days in advance patients can make a booking.
After the First Consultation
After finishing a consultation, the doctor can (optionally) recommend a date for the next visit.
⚠️ The recommended date cannot be later than the Follow-up consultation validity period.
This step is especially useful when:
The patient needs to return for test results or a progress check
The doctor wants to ensure continuity of care
Summary
By setting up follow-up options, you make it easier for patients to:
Book timely repeat visits
Stay consistent with treatment
Maintain better communication with you
