I’ve been with hello alpha for 2.5…
I’ve been with hello alpha for 2.5 years on glp-1 medication. During that’s time one provider was prescribing me 90 days of medicine and I would see them like every 3 weeks. So my medicine had build up and I had extra refills at the pharmacy. So around May of 2024 I decided to just continue refilling my prescriptions and not visit with a provider so I wouldn’t have a monthly fee. So I came back that November and had labs ready to show them. All of a sudden my A1C was too low and they took me from 15mg to 5mg because they haven’t had any contact with me. So I’m not happy about this but hey I built a relationship with this telehealth company so I just have to build my way back up right? So during my 3 months on 5mg I ask for an increase I kept getting denied and then saying my A1C was too low. My PCP where I go in for office visits didn’t have a problem with my labs and mind you my A1C has been as high as 12. They have all the labs paperwork and my A1C has been 4.5 on average for the last 1.5 years. Soo now I’m out of medicine I’ve gained 20lbs and they feel like I need to try metformin. That does not work for me either. I’ve wasted time and money and I felt like this was my online provider for these meds. There is no doctors you can have conversation with only nurse practitioners and they follow one another’s remark. I’ve tried to find ways to speak to a higher authority but no luck. I don’t recommend you using the online service for long term. Maybe to get started but follow up with a physical provider who can keep up with your progress. I have to look for another provider because recently I’ve changed insurance and my old pcp doesn’t except it. So I’m doomed.and the support thread doesn’t work. They still have the last say. You can not talk to anyone but the nurse practitioners. No help whatsoever. I’ve emailed customer service and no respond. I asked how to file a complaint and no respond either.
