98point6 by Transcarent

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 don’t have insurance so $20 for a year is an unbelievable deal!! I’ve been sick for over a week and after doing a ton of research online and trying to find the best service for the best price I landed here. Within an hour I’ve already spoken to a doctor and got the meds I need. And to have the peace of mind to know that I can just pop on here any time in the next 12 months is truly priceless for someone on a tight budget with no insurance! I cannot thank the people who came up with this idea enough. Honestly, even the post-first-year price of $120/year is a deal. That’s only $10/month to see a doc anytime. I think I’ll be sticking with this app for the long haul. Once I’m no longer sick I’m looking forward to trying it for things like my birth control and getting back on thyroid meds. Thank you all so much!

So I’ve used this app twice. The first time I had a definite ear infection. Was told to use saline nasal spray. When a I explained (again) that this had been going on for several weeks, at home treatments, etc. she finally agreed to prescribe antibiotics. This quickly cleared up the infection. The second “visit” I awoke to a super sore throat and white spots on my tonsils. Was told it might be strep throat but they couldn’t diagnose strep - that I could go to the minute clinic. Well, no kidding. If I had time to go a minute clinic, I wouldn’t be using this service. Then I was told it could also be a variety of other ailments, no offers of what it could be or how to treat, what symptoms to watch for, etc. When the visit was over, I received an after care list saying I had been diagnosed with strep throat! But no help, no prescription. So... Total waste of time (and money). I almost feel like the doctors are told not to prescribe anything unless there’s no way around it, and you’re just kind of brushed off. I realize I can go to an actual doctor’s office, but isn’t that the point of paying for this service?

I highly recommend this to anyone who has trouble getting in to see a doctor. Or anyone who needs help with symptoms they aren’t sure what so do about! These doctors are fantastic, and they help you to know what you should do at home,, as well as what should be done if your symptoms worsen. I would also recommend this to anyone whose college is covering it! That’s how o was able to get a plan. Healthcare can be hard in college, so this has been immensely helpful for me, so that I know how to take care of myself when something new crops up. Wait times are short and convenient for both parties, and the doctors are lovely. Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who needs a medical app to evaluate their symptoms from home, and needs to chat with a medical professional.

This app is everything! The subscription cost alone is minimal and worth every penny. Not to mention it’s only $1 for each visit. So the app itself is pretty great and very easy to use. Speaking to a doctor is a breeze. You give a bit of information as to what’s going on and then you wait in the comfort of your home (or wherever) for the doctor to see you. You can do other things while you wait which is a huge bonus. Everything is through text so no need to worry about video chat and looking presentable. I needed labs done and a new prescription. Everything was completed through the app. No need to go to an office and worry about catching someone else’s sickness. As I said, this app is everything!
