For example there's a community doctor's surgery in a town, it's free for people who live in town 1 and town 2.

As someone living in town 3 who has searched and found this community doctor's surgery but it won't be free or available to me, what's the best approach to explaining this?


Updated with example Below is a very simplified example of what happens in the current process, I've shown the offline and online version as I think it's important to recognise it's directing people to a physical location.

  • Can you provide more context, such as visual mocks that explain your specific use case, constraints, and details?

  • @MikeM added some more detail on the current flow. As you can see on the 'results page' there's a content warning that services might not be available. We could add additional postcode (zip code) validation some point after the initial search.

The solution here is to ask for the zip code, or, if the user offers permission, add a "localize me" button as an alternative to asking for the zip code. If the service is unavailable let them know as early as possible, before commencing the flow.
