Manage Updoc

How to cancel updoc: your complete guide to stopping telehealth charges in india

What updoc is and why you might want to leave

Updoc is a subscription-based telehealth platform that connects you with medical practitioners for online consultations, prescriptions, and medical certificates - often faster than booking a traditional GP appointment.

The service operates through a patient portal where you manage your subscription and access consultations. While many users appreciate the speed and convenience, subscription charges can accumulate if you no longer need regular access to telehealth services, or if you've found an alternative provider that better suits your needs.

Why people cancel updoc

You might be cancelling because you've completed your medical needs, found a cheaper alternative, prefer face-to-face consultations, or simply want to stop recurring charges from your bank account. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with clarity and confidence.

What you need before you start

Gather your login credentials for the Updoc patient portal, your registered email address, and your account details. You'll also want to have access to your bank or card statements so you can verify that charges stop after cancellation. Having this information ready prevents delays and confusion during the cancellation process.

Your consumer rights under indian law

Indian consumer protection law is your strongest ally when dealing with subscription disputes or refund claims.

What the consumer protection act, 2019 covers

The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 protects you against unfair trade practices, defective services, and misleading claims. If Updoc misrepresented the service, failed to deliver what was promised, or continues charging after you've cancelled, you have grounds to file a formal complaint.

Additionally, the Distance Contracts Rules under this Act allow you certain protections when purchasing services online. If Updoc fails to honor your cancellation request or processes unauthorised charges, these rules work in your favour.

Where to escalate if updoc refuses to cooperate

If Updoc ignores your cancellation request or continues to charge your card after you've cancelled, file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (1800-11-4000, toll-free) or your local district consumer commission. Keep all emails, SMS confirmations, and bank statements as evidence. Stopee recommends documenting every step so you have a clear paper trail if disputes arise.

How to cancel updoc step by step

The cancellation process depends on how you access Updoc - through the patient portal, app store, or by contacting customer support directly.

Method 1: cancel via the patient portal (fastest option)

Cancelling through the Updoc patient portal is the quickest and most reliable method because you receive immediate confirmation and your cancellation is recorded in their system.

1. Open your web browser and visit the Updoc patient portal login page.
   • Enter your registered email address and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.
2. Once logged in, navigate to "Manage Subscription" or "My Subscription" (the exact label varies by portal version).
   • Look for this option in your account dashboard or settings menu.
   • If you cannot find it, scroll down or use the search function within your account area.
3. Select "Cancel My Subscription" and review the cancellation details on screen.
   • Read any final terms or warnings Updoc displays.
   • Note the effective date of your cancellation.
4. Confirm your cancellation by entering the 6-digit verification code sent to your registered email address.
   • Warning: Check your spam or promotions folder if the code doesn't arrive in your inbox within 2 minutes.
   • The code is usually valid for 10 minutes; request a new code if it expires.
5. Click "Confirm Cancellation" to complete the process.
   • Your subscription access stops immediately.
   • Screenshot the confirmation page as proof of cancellation.

Method 2: cancel via email if the portal is unavailable

If you cannot access the portal or the cancellation button is missing, contacting Updoc by email creates a documented record of your cancellation request.

1. Send an email to contact@updoc.com.au (Updoc's support email) with the subject line "Cancellation Request".
   • Use professional, clear language.
   • State your full name, registered email, and account ID (if you have it).
2. Include the following information in your email body:
   • Your registered email address on the Updoc account.
   • Your full name as it appears on your account.
   • The date you first subscribed (approximate is fine).
   • A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Updoc subscription effective immediately."
   • A copy of a recent invoice or bank statement showing Updoc charges (you can blur sensitive details).
3. Send the email and save a copy for your records.
   • Updoc typically responds within 3-5 business days.
   • If you don't hear back within 7 days, resend the email or try contacting them through an alternative channel.
4. Keep the entire email conversation, including Updoc's response confirming cancellation.
   • This serves as proof if disputes arise later.
   • Pro tip: Print or save as PDF any confirmation emails for your records.

Method 3: cancelling app-based subscriptions

Warning: If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, cancelling your Updoc portal subscription does NOT automatically cancel app-based billing. You must cancel both independently.

For Apple App Store subscriptions: go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > find Updoc > select "Cancel Subscription". For Google Play subscriptions: open Google Play > Account > Subscriptions > select Updoc > "Cancel Subscription". After cancelling both, monitor your statements to ensure charges stop.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Cancellation is jarring because access changes suddenly - here's what to expect so you're not caught off guard.

Access and service delivery

Your access to consultation bookings, prescription requests, and medical certificates stops immediately upon successful cancellation. Any pending consultations scheduled after your cancellation date will not proceed. If you had an active consultation booked, contact Updoc to clarify whether it will be honoured or refunded.

Your bank account and auto-renewal

Auto-renewal stops after a confirmed portal cancellation, but only for subscriptions managed through Updoc's own system. If you subscribed via an app store, you must cancel that separately or charges will continue. Check your bank or card statements weekly for the first month after cancellation to confirm no further Updoc charges appear.

Pro tip: Set a phone reminder for 30 days after cancellation to review your statements. Early detection of erroneous charges makes disputing them faster.

Updoc's refund policy and your options

Updoc's standard stance is that they do not refund the unused portion of a subscription period if the service was made available to you.

When you are eligible for a refund

Updoc offers a full refund only in one specific scenario: if the practitioner paired with your consultation request fails to call or respond within 6 hours of your request. In this case, you can respond to the SMS notification from Updoc to cancel that consultation and claim a refund.

There is no publicly advertised 14-day cooling-off period for Updoc subscriptions in India, so you cannot rely on that standard protection. However, if Updoc misrepresented the service or failed to deliver core functionality, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 may entitle you to a refund or compensation.

How to pursue a refund if charges seem unfair

1. Contact Updoc support within 14 days of the charge and request a refund explanation.
   • State clearly why you believe the charge was unfair or the service deficient.
   • Attach screenshots or evidence of the issue.
2. If Updoc refuses or does not respond within 7 days, file a chargeback through your bank or card provider.
   • Call your bank's dispute department and explain the situation.
   • Provide transaction IDs, dates, and evidence that you cancelled.
   • Most Indian banks allow chargebacks for unauthorised or defective charges within 90 days.
3. If the bank chargeback is unsuccessful, escalate to the National Consumer Helpline or your local consumer commission with all documentation.
   • Include emails, cancellation confirmations, and bank statements.
   • State the amount owed and the law under which you believe Updoc is liable.

Updoc pricing and subscription plans

Updoc's pricing structure and Indian rupee rates are not publicly advertised on accessible sources.

Current pricing availability in india

No verified INR pricing for Updoc was found during 2024-2025 research. Pricing may vary based on your subscription tier and whether you access Updoc directly or through an app store (which may include processing fees). To discover current rates and plan options, you must contact Updoc directly.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling

Cancellation feels straightforward until a charge appears weeks later and you realise you missed a critical step - here's how to avoid that frustration.

Mistake 1: cancelling only through the app store, not the portal

Deleting the Updoc app or cancelling your app store subscription does not automatically cancel your Updoc portal account. Your portal subscription continues and charges will still appear on your card. Always cancel through both the app store AND the Updoc portal separately to be completely safe.

Mistake 2: not saving your cancellation confirmation

If you don't screenshot the confirmation page or forward the confirmation email to yourself, you have no proof of cancellation if Updoc disputes your claim. Save the confirmation immediately, even if cancellation appears successful on screen.

Mistake 3: assuming cancellation stops auto-renewal automatically

Updoc's system may take 24-48 hours to sync with your payment processor. If your next billing date is very soon (within 2 days), the charge may still process. Contact your bank immediately to request a reversal if this happens, and forward your cancellation confirmation to Updoc as evidence.

Mistake 4: not monitoring statements after cancellation

System glitches or human error can cause charges to continue after cancellation. Check your bank statement weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter for 3 months. Early detection lets you dispute charges while they're still within the chargeback window.

Your cancellation checklist

Tick off each step as you complete it to ensure nothing is missed during the cancellation process.

Real user experiences and reviews

Understanding what other users have experienced with Updoc cancellations helps you prepare for potential obstacles.

Positive cancellation experiences

Many users report that portal-based cancellation is straightforward and charges stop immediately. Fast refunds for the "failed practitioner response" exception have also been noted, with users receiving credits within 3-5 business days.

Negative experiences and complaints

Some users have reported difficulty accessing the cancellation option in the portal, requiring email contact with support. A small number of users encountered continued charges after cancellation, requiring bank intervention. These cases typically resolved after the user provided proof of cancellation to their bank.

Stopee has documented that users who saved their cancellation confirmation and contacted support proactively resolved issues much faster than those who discovered problems weeks later on their statements.
