Given the current circumstances, I really didn’t want to go into my primary care office for a check up. It was a small issue, and my sister had just tried this app, so I gave it a shot too. Info took a few minutes to input but I didn’t feel they were asking for ‘too much’.

I requested an appointment, was paired with a doctor in my state, and was told my insurance would fully cover the visit. Quickly, I was in a chat room with a professional. The doctor I got was amazing and answered all my questions easily. I could tell she was putting thought into her answers and not just copy/pasting some sort of script into the chat. She asked me a few questions, and gave me her professional opinion, like at a regular office.

This is a really helpful service not only for people during a pandemic, but people who have agoraphobia or physical disabilities that make it difficult to leave the house. You’d obviously need to go somewhere if you broke a bone or needed bloodwork or something, but this for colds and questions like mine (mainly medication detox symptom worries, lol) is just so convenient. Way easier than trying to make an appointment with my normal doctor for the same thing.

I have used this service multiple times for a variety of things (stomach flu, foot pain, random questions) and each time I am amazed by how easy it is to use! I absolutely hate going to the doctor for things I think are trivial or that I’m just going to be asked to make another appointment next week to “check back in” and waste another 3 hours of my life, so 98point6 has been a great solution for me to actually get in touch with a doctor (and limit anxiety doing so!). Now the “check back in” part of getting care, if I’m not feeling better, takes 15 minutes, not half my day. Never once has a 98point6 doctor I’ve talked to made me feel silly for asking a question or not knowing information, and each time I learn something that I never have time to ask my actual doctor about in our annual 10 minute check in. Overall 11/10, would recommend. I tell all my friends to use this whenever they are sick at home or not feeling well at work, seriously try it out.

I have tried all day to get my 6 year old son seen today. I could not get him In yesterday and with it being a Saturday today the only places near me where Urgent Cares which we’re wanting $100 upfront even with insurance. I felt defeated because I did not have the money at the time. I saw my insurance offered this app at $0 cost so I tried it. I’m so glad I did it was super quick and easy to use. We had a short video chat but most of it was by text. The doctor was very nice and helpful. She sent in a lot of useful information. He was diagnosed and sent in a prescription to the pharmacy of my choosing. Now my son can get better thanks to this app and the very appreciated doctors.

It is a great app to use for adults and parents that are unable to drive or that just is having a hard time being seen by someone same day. The have doctors available every day of the week on this app. I’m so lucky to have used it. Thank you 98point6!
