Do not fill out the questionnaire info because they will charge you immediately. They do not wait until after your appointment.
My experience with this company has been concerning enough that I strongly recommend potential customers research NextMed’s history with the FTC before signing up. I signed up after seeing information indicating that I would not be charged until after approval. Instead, $79 was taken from my account before I had seen a medical provider, received a prescription, or been medically approved for medication. I contacted customer service almost immediately. During my first call, I was told I could not cancel until after my next payment date. A second representative eventually cancelled future billing, but I was still refused a refund for the $79 already taken. This is particularly concerning because NextMed has already been the subject of FTC action. In December 2025, the FTC finalized an order against Southern Health Solutions, Inc., doing business as NextMed. The FTC alleged, among other things, problems involving billing without express informed consent, cancellation and refund requests, misleading pricing, and manipulation of consumer reviews. The order requires NextMed and its principals to pay $150,000, expected to be used for consumer refunds. I wish I had known about that FTC case before I signed up. If you are having a similar experience, document everything. Take screenshots of the advertising and checkout pages you saw, appointment availability, billing information, emails and chats. Keep records of your calls and send cancellation/refund requests in writing so you have a record. Consumers can also report their own experiences to the FTC, their state Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. If you believe a charge was unauthorized or inconsistent with what you agreed to, contact your financial institution and explain exactly what happened. This review describes my personal experience. I encourage anyone considering this service to research the FTC’s NextMed case for themselves before providing payment information. Finding info on openloop, who Nextmeds is now using isn’t hard either. So you have the info for the other company from Nextmeds reply. Use all of that and do your research. And if you already got scammed, do not be afraid to use the avenues available to you.

Hi Dana, we recognize that you had concerns with the timing of your provider appointment and your experience after signing up. We do, however, need to clarify one important point in your review. The FTC settlement you referenced involves Southern Health Solutions, Inc., which operated under the names NextMed and Next Medical. NextMeds is not affiliated with that company in any way, nor are we connected to the FTC matter you referenced. We have never been the subject of an FTC action or settlement. We understand how the similar names could cause confusion, but because this is a serious allegation, we felt it was important to clarify that distinction publicly.
