Great idea that just doesn't work...
My employer has only offered the service of MDLIVE for about a year now, and until last week, I had never had to use it. My older daughter came down sick and we went through the steps to set up a consultation with a doctor and were put in line. We initially were told it would be an hour and a half (even though it says the average wait time is 15 minutes)...that time frame came and went and we were contacted periodically being told it was unusually busy which was the reason of the extra long wait. After several hours, we had to contact them again and were told the doctor who was assigned to consult with my daughter was not even scheduled to be in to work until 5pm (which was several hours from that point in time). Why would a reputable company assign a patient to a virtual waiting room with no chance of speaking with a doctor who is not even on his shift yet and would not be working for several hours after the appointment time? I thought it may have just been a glitch in the system, so today, when my younger daughter came down sick with almost the exact same thing, we decided to give MDLIVE another opportunity to show how they run their business. We went through the same process as before, and were told it would be about an hour wait, it has now been over 3 hours. We contacted customer service who told us they had no idea how long the wait would be and they had not way of checking. In my opinion, the statement that MDLIVE has placed on their website which states an "average wait time of only 15 minutes" needs to be taken down or it should read more like " average wait time is 5 hours". A wait in the urgent care clinic would have taken less time that this without all of the frustration! I'd give MDLIVE zero stars for a rating if it was an option. Absolutely terrible! .
