What's New

Plus, it’s customisable per practitioner and based on when they last saw the patient!

Exclusive sessions allow you to offer only specific appointment types to be booked online during a specific session time, excluding all other appointment types from being booked.

We’ve updated our feature to ensure it’s compliant with the new Medicare benefit form approved by Services Australia for Telehealth bulk billing

We’ve digitised the MyMedicare patient registration form and created a MyMedicare Broadcast template, both of which are now available in your HotDoc Dashboard

Our latest feature streamlines written consent for all Telehealth bulk billed appointments, including those booked via HotDoc or through your practice.

Easily set up practitioners to receive payments directly to their own accounts.

To make the Reminder settings more user-friendly, we redesigned the layout with more options to edit and update your appointment reminders.

If your practice has registered for MyMedicare’s Voluntary Patient Registration model, you can start informing your patients and capture their interest in registering at your practice.

Practitioners can now select item numbers to claim and prompt patients for their bulk billing consent during video consults. When accepted, it automatically writes back to the Practice Software.

Forgot the details of a feature update? Go back in time and scroll through recent releases, improvements, and tips by clicking the Messages button at the top right corner of your Dashboard.

Easily access Recalls information, check their progress, and see an actionable summary of tasks to complete on the brand new Recalls summary page.

Streamline the patient journey by exempting certain patients who are usually bulk billed from adding their payment method online.

You can now search by the patient’s name on the Future Reminders, Unsent Reminders and History pages to see if the reminder has been sent/not sent and check the status of this reminder.

Practice booked payment requests will convert to more completed transactions now that we send a push notification in addition to SMS and email.

Stripe users, this one’s for you. Stripe now pre-authorises the full amount for repeat requests and only processes the payment when you click “Approve” on the Prescription or Referrals Requests page.

Forget manual calculations and sticky notes on your monitor with appointment costs written on them. You can now automatically pass the payment processing fee on to patients.

Not sure how many Broadcast credits your practice has available? If there are available credits, you’ll see the balance on your Dashboard.

Patients will now see hotdoc.com instead of htd.io in the Recalls SMS link they’ll have to click on.

Set up individual practitioner payout accounts to automatically settle consultation fees via HotDoc.

Payments reporting and reconciliation have become much easier with the new and improved reporting page. Find more search filters, subtotals, payment status and type, and bulk reconciling.

Control a patient’s ability to book online appointments at your practice by creating a patient alert using the patient’s mobile number.

Payments, Repeats and Referrals have become a whole lot cheaper now the processing fee is reduced from 2.75% to 1.75% (+ $0.30) per transaction.

Add an extra layer of protection to your HotDoc account by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA gives you the choice of either receiving a verification code by email or through an app when you log in.

Simply send patients a payment request by SMS or email for all types of appointments directly booked at your practice with practice booked payments.

Consent and custom forms just got a lot more flexible with an extra setting where you can choose how often you want patients to fill in the form.

Easily enable or disable email notifications for your HotDoc user accounts for Sidebar actions, appointment confirmation requests, appointment cancellations, and more.

Our search filters and support articles are upgraded to help people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities find covid vaccine appointments in their language.

All Recall letter templates have been updated to address patients by their preferred name, instead of their first name.

Finding the information you need is easier than ever through our new and improved Support Centre.
