Amazon employee here that used this service or it's immediate predecessor. It's just a branded third party teledoc service for internal employees.
I described very clearly that I needed a refill of a common non-scheduled medication. They took my credit card info and charged me $50, transferred me to the NP who immediately told me they could not prescribe it.
A waste of time and money. I went to the NP at the local CVS MinuteClinuc and had the bottle of pills in 30 minutes.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoSo, another way to extract money from people who actually need medical services?
- Consultant32452 7y agoMore like a way to extract less money from people who need medical services.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoFrom the experience of the parent post, it looks like a more streamlined way to extract money without providing a legitimate service.
- Consultant32452 7y agoNot every case of bad customer service is a conspiracy to extract more money from you.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoI agree, I am a bit suspicious and skeptical toward big corporations and for-profit healthcare. Maybe taking someone's money without providing a service is a one-in-a-million case. It is still encoded in workflows and software, and no easy way to get a refund. So, instutionalized.
- plughs 7y agoI've used a service like this from my insurer. I sent them a photo of my finger, they prescribed me an antibiotic, and Sunday morning I was on the mend. Beat the heck out of a 2 hour appointment during business hours.
