Charged $65 to have the doctor call to say Telehealth is only for acute issues
MDLive is a scam and useless. My wife called and was screened. She explained her very specific issue and what she was looking for. They set up a call for a doctor to call and recap what she has already told them for the screening and after a 6 min call told her there's nothing they can do because telehealth is only for acute issues and go see a PCP. Why do I need to pay $65 to have a doctor call to say they can't provide service. Am I paying to get told by a doctor to go see a doctor? There's a "treatment plan" in an online portal to go see a doctor. What a joke. I called in to dispute it. You can't talk to the doctor, they can't see what the doctor said, they can't see the treatment plan, you can only talk to the doctor if you create a portal account and the doctor enables the feature to talk with them. But she made a "treatment plan" so it can't be refunded. If MDLive isn't competent enough to screen properly, or if the doctor isn't smart enough to notify MDLive they can't help but needs to call to justify a charge, that's not on us. This is a group of scam artists. Oh, btw the manager I was escalated to was unfriendly.. sounds like she gets these calls all day long. Now I wait 45 days for billing to likely reject my escalated dispute. I don't need to call in and talk to someone again.. refund my money.
