What is Updoc
Overview
Updoc is a subscription-based software platform for healthcare documentation and workflow management used by providers and patients.
It focuses on streamlining clinical paperwork, telehealth workflows and issuing documents such as prescriptions or fit-to-travel letters.
Who uses it
Typical users include healthcare professionals, clinic administrators and patients who need quick access to medical documents or consultations.
The service is delivered as a web-based platform with linked app experiences for some users.
How to cancel Updoc
Primary cancellation method (Patient Portal)
- Log in to your Patient Portal.
- Go to Manage Subscription.
- Select Cancel My Subscription.
- Verify the cancellation by entering the 6‑digit code sent to your email.
- Confirm & Cancel to complete the process.
Access ends immediately after confirmation.
Notes and important caveats
- This web-based cancellation method applies even if you originally subscribed via the App Store or Google Play - you must cancel through the Patient Portal.
- Save confirmation screens or emails as proof of cancellation.
What happens when you cancel
Immediate access and renewal
Access to Updoc ends immediately after you confirm cancellation in the Patient Portal.
The subscription stops renewing at the next billing cycle once cancelled.
Data and account retention
Your account data and documents may remain accessible to you or the provider depending on account policies and data retention rules.
If you need specific records removed or exported, request this from Updoc support and keep written confirmation.
Will I get a refund?
Official refund policy
Updoc does not provide refunds for unused portions of a subscription period unless required by law.
The official support guidance states there is no refund for unused time.
Exceptions and how to proceed
- If the service was misrepresented, charged in error, or you can rely on consumer law, you may be entitled to a refund or remedy.
- Document your case, contact support promptly, and consider a bank chargeback or a formal complaint if necessary.
There is no stated 14‑day cooling-off period in the support documentation for digital subscriptions.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Key statutory protections
South African consumer law requires full and proper disclosure of material terms and prohibits unfair, misleading or deceptive practices.
These protections can limit a supplier’s no-refund clauses where misrepresentation or nondisclosure occurred.
Practical remedies
- Document cancellation attempts, quotes, billing records and communications with support.
- If you believe the subscription terms were misrepresented, you can pursue chargebacks via your bank and lodge complaints with consumer protection authorities.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users report Updoc delivers medical documents quickly and conveniently, such as fit-to-travel letters and prescriptions.
Users praise the speed and ease of obtaining simple clinical documents.
Negative feedback
Several customers report unintended enrolment into recurring subscriptions instead of one-off payments.
Common complaints include difficulty cancelling, continued charges after cancellation attempts, and slow or automated customer support replies.
Documentation checklist
What to save before and after cancelling
- Cancellation confirmation screen or email (screenshot or PDF).
- Billing statements showing charges and dates (bank or card statements).
- Screenshots of subscription settings and the 6‑digit verification step.
- Email correspondence with Updoc support and timestamps of calls or chats.
- Transaction IDs, invoice numbers and the exact time and date of cancellation.
Why this matters
Keeping clear records strengthens disputes, chargeback claims and regulator complaints.
Provide concise evidence if you need to escalate the matter to your bank or consumer protection agency.
Common mistakes
Assuming App Store/Play cancels work
Some users assume cancelling via the App Store or Google Play stops the Updoc subscription.
For Updoc, cancellation must be done in the Patient Portal - otherwise the subscription may continue.
Poor documentation and late action
Not saving cancellation confirmations or waiting too long to dispute charges reduces the chance of a successful refund or chargeback.
Always record verification codes, confirmation screens and follow up in writing with support.
