Question 1

Can tourists get prescriptions in Portugal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our licensed doctors issue electronic prescriptions (Receita Sem Papel) that are valid in any pharmacy across Portugal — no Portuguese ID or insurance required.

Most patients are seen the same day, often within 15 minutes. You can choose the next available slot or book a later time that fits your travel schedule.

Question 3

Is Six Medic a real medical service or just a chatbot?

Accepted Answer

Six Medic is a real licensed telemedicine service. Every consultation is conducted by a human doctor registered with the Ordem dos Médicos. We are not an AI chatbot — you speak directly with a qualified physician by video call.

How much does an online consultation cost?

Accepted Answer

A standard video consultation costs €80. This includes the consultation, any prescription issued, and a medical certificate if needed.

Question 5

Do I need a Portuguese health number to book?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need a número de utente, a Portuguese NIF, or any local insurance. You just need a valid email address, a phone number, and a device with a camera.

Question 6

Is Six Medic regulated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All doctors hold an active cédula profissional from the Ordem dos Médicos — the official regulatory body for medical practice in Portugal. All prescriptions carry the doctor's license number, making them legally valid in Portugal and across the EU.
