On demand access to a team of international doctors by telephone or video call
We know how important it is to get the healthcare you need, when you need it. In addition to the worldwide network of doctors and facilities available on your health plan, we’ve teamed up with Teladoc Health to bring you Global Virtual Care - providing confidential, 24/7 access to a team of international doctors by telephone or video call, at no additional cost.
Members who are insured by Sukoon with an International Private Medical Insurance plan that is internationally administered by Bupa Global, you have access to same day medical consultations with a doctor at a time that suits you. With multiple language options available, you will be able to speak with a doctor in a language you are comfortable in. And, where local regulations allow, receive prescriptions and referral letters sent directly to your phone.
Bupa’s Medical Director, Dr Robin Clark, chats with Dr Debs Basu, GP and Clinical Lead at Teladoc Health, discussing the benefits of telemedicine and the many ways in which the Global Virtual Care service can support our customers day to day.
For a telephone consultation you can select one of the following languages:
For a video consultation only English and Spanish are available.
You can have an unlimited number of consultations. Any follow-up care outside this service is subject to your policy benefits.
Doctors will issue prescriptions and referrals based on diagnosis and local regulations. They can provide advice on over-the-counter medication and self-care.

However, any support or treatment provided as part of the service, does not confirm that any subsequent treatment is covered under your health plan. If you are unsure of whether a treatment is covered following your virtual consultation, please contact us to request pre-authorisation.
