Start your Ayurveda telemedicine practice today

Video consults, digital prescriptions, and payments — built for Ayurveda doctors.

You can start seeing patients online through AyurConnect without any upfront setup cost — a verified profile, a video room, a prescription pad, and payment collection are all built in. Telemedicine is legal for registered BAMS practitioners under the MCI Telemedicine Practice Guidelines issued in March 2020, and the framework is straightforward to follow.

What the MCI 2020 Guidelines Permit

The Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 permit registered medical practitioners — including Ayurveda doctors registered with a State Ayurveda Council — to consult patients via audio, video, or text. You may issue digital prescriptions for Ayurveda formulations and OTC medicines; certain schedule drugs require an in-person visit first. The guidelines require you to maintain a record of each teleconsult. AyurConnect automatically logs consultation notes and prescription records to your dashboard so your compliance documentation is always up to date.

Setting Up on AyurConnect

Once your profile is verified, go to your dashboard settings and enable online consultations. You can set your video consultation fee, available time slots, and languages. Patients searching for online Ayurveda consultations will see your profile and can book directly. No external video software is needed — the built-in video room opens in the browser for both you and the patient at the scheduled appointment time. The prescription pad opens alongside the video window so you can write and share a prescription before the call ends.

Prescription Pad and Digital Records

The prescription pad generates a PDF with your name, registration number, date, and the patient's details pre-filled. You add the formulation, dose, duration, and any dietary advice, then share it with the patient in one click. The prescription is also stored in the patient's consultation record on your dashboard. For classical formulations the platform provides a reference panel showing standard doses from Sahasrayogam and Ashtangahridayam, which you can pull into the prescription without switching tabs.

Collecting Payments

Payment collection is integrated — patients pay before or at the time of booking using UPI, card, or net banking. Fees are credited to your linked bank account on a regular settlement cycle. You can see payment status for each appointment in your dashboard without needing a separate payment processor account. For patients based outside India — common if you have a diaspora following — international card payments are also supported.

FAQ

Is telemedicine legal for Ayurveda doctors in India?

Yes. The MCI Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 explicitly include practitioners registered with State Medical Councils under the Indian Medicine Central Council Act — which covers BAMS doctors. You must be registered with your state Ayurveda council to practise legally.

Can I prescribe Ayurveda medicines online?

Yes, you can prescribe classical Ayurveda formulations and OTC Ayurveda medicines via telemedicine. The guidelines restrict certain Schedule H and X drugs without a prior in-person examination, but standard Ayurveda formulations are not in those categories.

Do I need any special equipment to start telemedicine on AyurConnect?

No special equipment is required — a smartphone or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection is sufficient. The video room runs in the browser without any app download for either you or your patient.

What happens if a patient misses their appointment?

Missed appointment policies are set by you in your dashboard. You can choose to charge a no-show fee or offer a free reschedule — the platform supports both. Patients receive automated reminders before their appointment to reduce no-shows.
