The app was advertised on Banner Aetna's site as an alternative to see your PCP. I spent over an hour registering and answering questions from something that sounded like an AI bot just to be informed at the end of the session that I would need to see my PCP for my health concern. I just needed a refill for my medication.... which would cost me 100% of the copay through my insurance. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME and PIECE OF GARBAGE APP. It is portrayed as an alternative to see your primary doctor, but all it is is a waste of time. Do not use!!!

Doctors were entirely dismissive of me and when I said "no, you're dismissing something that needs actual medication" (I got bacterial conjunctivitis from a kid at the daycare i work at) I was accused of being too hostile and needing to see a PCP (which I can't afford to, hence the use of a cheap telemedicine app). They need to get themselves together and start respecting their patients.

I am a healthcare provider. I am sick with sinusitis. It is a chronic condition - I have had sinus surgery. This happens maybe once or twice a year. The drainage is purulent and somewhat bloody. Temp 99.2 I also have ear canals that are swollen and hot because when I lay down the sinuses drain into the eustachian tubes. I need an antibiotic. I tried 98point6 because I was hoping to get a jump on treatment. She did not even read the intake assessment, as I had to reanswer all of the questions that took me time to type in. The pathetic prescriber told me to get "elderberry" etc. etc. etc. and would not treat me with an antibiotic. What the hell is wrong with new doctors? How horrible is healthcare becoming?? Save your time, go to your primary provider, or go to an urgent care clinic, but see someone in person - this is neither safe nor convenient.

This is supposed to be a telemedicine site, touting you can use it for Primary Care. In reality you cannot. All the Dr. Did was recommend I be seen in person by a PCP. I have a god awful rash that no cream will help but all they did was prescribe another cream and will not give oral medications. Save your money and go to MDLive or Teledoc, at least they write prescriptions, making the 90 dollar visit worth it. Welcome to the virtual fleecing of uninsured Americans
