How much does a telemedicine consultation cost? +

Our standard 30-minute video consultation is priced transparently (COP 210,000 as of 2026). We provide an exact quote when you message us — no hidden fees. Many travelers and expats use travel insurance for reimbursement.

Do I need to be in a specific location for telemedicine? +

No — telemedicine works from anywhere with internet: your hotel in the Walled City or Bocagrande, a café in Getsemaní, a beach day in Playa Blanca, a boat to Islas del Rosario, or even a trip to Barú. Just need a phone or laptop with camera and stable connection.

Do you provide invoices or notes for insurance? +

Yes — every consultation includes a detailed invoice and medical note suitable for most travel and expat insurance claims. You can submit them directly for reimbursement. We do not direct-bill, but the process is straightforward.

What if it's an emergency? +

For life-threatening emergencies, call 123 (Colombian emergency line) or go to the nearest hospital. We handle urgent non-emergency care (fever, infections, minor injuries, etc.) quickly via video, often same day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I give a thumbs up to DoctorsFor Expats.com. Herman received my initial request promptly and gave clear instructions on how to move forward. I needed a medical exam and documents to apply for a visa renewal. Dr Lopez and I telecommunicated that same day. All necessary documents were then sent via email. It was quick and easy. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got really sick in Bolivia and Colombia and struggled to find any English speaking doctor. I then found Expat Doctors in Bogota. They provide quick replies via whatsapp, you can request a doctor to visit you in the hotel you're staying at or have a videocall. They have an easy booking and payment system. The coordinator Hernan provided excellent care and quick responses to get me to see a doctor and obtain a fit to fly certificate as I was having a lot of trouble with my travel insurance following inaccurate Spanish medical reports from previous doctors/practices who didn't speak English. Dr Julian from Expat Doctors was great, spoke excellent English, and examined me in the hotel and provided the medical report and fit to fly certificate that same night. He was very professional and was far more knowledgeable than most doctors I've seen in my life. This is the only place in Colombia I would trust to go to for anything medical as a foreigner. Everything was taken care off quickly and systems and documentation were of high standards.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent and super fast service for getting a telemedicine consultation, plus a sick leave note I got from them which I needed to provide to my employer. I managed to get a consultation within the same day I made the request and got medication prescription from them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I needed a very quick turn-around for a medical and psych eval for our visa renewal.  Because of the earthquake a few weeks ago we lost our documentation and had to return to the US to get it all over again (ouch $$$ last minutes flights and hotels.)  I contacted Doctorsforexpats on what's app about 4:45 pm, the young man who answered the phone was quick, efficient, and got us booked for a consultation with a doctor the next morning.  This was the best part of my visa application this time and the first time.  Give them a call.  You'll notice the difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my goal to see a doctor during my vacation in Bogotá in August and I found doctorsforexpats via an online search. I am so glad I used their services.

The scheduling and payment via WhatsApp was incredibly easy and their receptionist is very quick to respond. Dr. Vargas came to my airbnb and gave me a thorough checkup. Nurse Roa came to my Airbnb a few days later to do some bloodwork and a couple of hours later I had the results of the bloodwork in a .pdf file sent to me.
Dr. Vargas left me a voice message explaining what all of the results actually meant.
Easiest experience visiting a doctor I’ve had in my life!
If you are visiting Bogotá and would prefer an English speaking doctors appointment I would highly recommend doctorsforexpats. It’s a shame something as simple as a doctors visit in the USA has to take half a day and cost a fortune just to speak to a doctor for about two minutes!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a bit ambivalent, but this company was wonderful. Was traveling in Bogota for school and had the flu, but wanted to rule out malaria. I contacted them and they responded within 5 minutes. Got a telehealth visit scheduled a couple hours later, and then got an in-hotel visit to get blood work done that same day. Everything was super easy and everyone was extremely nice. Couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone traveling to Bogota!
