DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
My insurer is Cigna. They have the option to use MDLive. You have to pay $55 for a phone consultation FIRST before you are even assigned to a doctor. I uploaded a photo of my swollen foot and needed a prescription. They assigned Dr Utibe (with a 2-star review on google). Utibe told me that I did not need a prescription and should take an alleve or go to Urgent Care for assistance. He was so rude and dismissive that I was stunned. He then "closed" my case so that there would not be any follow-up. After I complained, they assigned another dr @8:30 at night. Please keep in mind that I had been in pain all day and was desperate for a prescription to reduce the swelling and the pain. I already gave them all of my medical information and uploaded a photo of my foot. All I needed (and actually begged for) was a prescription. It is a ridiculous and time-consuming process. You will die waiting for help. You are better off in an ER. The ER wait may be awful, but it is far worse to be in continuous pain without any resolution. Cigna was of absolutely no assistance in sorting this out and still offers MDLive as a suitable alternative.
