Online Consultation Jobs for Doctors
An online consultation job is medical work paid per patient consultation rather than by salary: licensed doctors see patients over secure video, document the encounter, and are paid for each booking. On GeraClinic you set your own consultation fee, keep 85% of it, and receive payouts within 3-5 business days — working entirely from home, full-time or alongside another role.

How consultation-based work differs from a salaried job
Per-consultation pay
Income follows your bookings: your fee × your consultations, minus the 15% platform fee. No fixed salary, but also no fixed rota and no cap set by an employer.
You own the price
You set — and can change — your consultation fee at any time from the Doctor Dashboard, based on your specialty, experience, and market.
Fast, trackable payouts
Patients pay at booking; your earnings are paid out within 3-5 business days via bank transfer, mobile money, or digital wallets depending on your country.
Admin built in
Scheduling, secure video, clinical notes, and e-prescription tools are part of the platform — no separate systems to buy or maintain.
What a safe online consultation covers
Not everything can — or should — be handled by video, and good telemedicine practice means knowing the difference. Consultations that translate well online include everyday illnesses, medication reviews and repeat prescriptions, visible skin complaints, mental health support, chronic disease check-ins, and reviewing test results. When a physical examination or urgent in-person care is needed, your job is to say so and direct the patient appropriately — safety-netting is part of every consultation.
