Hello AlphaReviews of helloalpha.com

Super easy to communicate with my provider, super easy to get an appointment and my provider answers less than 24 hours. I love having healthcare on the go and on my time.

I was VERY dissatisfied with the care I received from a certain NP on your platform. I requested a refill of Linzess 72mg. I’ve been taking this medication for 13 years! My IBS-C symptoms are stable with medication, I have absolutely no new or concerning symptoms. I’ve been using Hello Alpha for 2 years for my Linzess refills and have never had any issue until now. This NP drilled me on seeing a Gastro-which I’ve never been asked before because it’s not necessary for me to see a Gastro at this time. I’m not even in the colon cancer screening age yet. Even Dr. J-the medical director at one time refilled my med with no issues. This NP told me that this platform doesn’t manage IBS and I need to see an in-person provider. Why have I been treated for 2 years on this platform if that’s truly the case? Because of her you’ve lost a long time subscriber!! I’m an RN and I do not recommend this platform to anyone.

I have been stung by these guys twice and I won't add one more to that! I don't recommend wasting your hard earned cash with them.

Doctors are great, listen to you and give you the best medicine for your condition. When I started using this service, you could pay per visit which was great. The last time I used the site, they started requiring a monthly membership which I absolutely did not want. I looked at reviews very carefully and found it was easy to cancel after paying for the first month which is what I did. I don't know what will happen in a year when I want to renew my prescription, but I hope they go back to giving a per visit option.

I have used hello alpha 3 years in a row to get and renew a prescription. The service is always easy, convenient, and fast. And I think the price point is great!

Quick response and resolution of my needs.

Easy process, they listened and helped me get what I needed. Highly recommend

I spent $79 dollars for this service for mental health. I spent the better part of an entire hour entering in all the required information. When I tried to enter in the information on my Medicaid card, it wouldn't take. The mental health system where I'm at is absolutely AWFUL and I've threatened suicide MANY times because I'm not getting the help I need. So I decided to go AROUND Medicaid by paying the $79 out-of-pocket each month to get the mental health services I DESPARATELY needed from Hello Alpha. I paid $79 a month to Hello Alpha, which claims that they are all about inclusion. I spent 45 minutes online at their website filling out forms so that I could have my "visit" with a counselor, which seemed to be what they offered since they used the word "visit." After answering all the questions, it asked me if I wanted to use a Medicaid card. I checked "no." I wanted to pay the $79 a month out of pocket because all the counseling clinics that I've been to in the state of Georgia where I now unfortunately live are AWFUL. However, the next page at the site prompted me to enter my Medicaid card. I don't know why because I clearly checked "no" when I was prompted. They didn't take Medicaid, so obviously it didn't work. I just wanted to pay the $79 to get around Medicaid so that I would get the help I need so I didn't feel like committing suicide anymore. After this disappointment, I pleaded my case to them in an online message because they never have anyone to speak to on the phone. When I finally got a reply, I saw that they left a voicemail and I called them back. They said that they don't take Medicaid, but if I paid the $79 a month I could get in. After some more conversation, she told me that they DON'T do counselling-- ONLY medication management. I told her that Hello Alpha was sending the message that they have counselors and that they are all about inclusion. I said that not offering counseling and only medication management isn't very "inclusive," especially noting that they don't treat people who suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder AT ALL. How the hell is that "inclusive?" In the end she apologized and mentioned a couple other online resources that I could try, but she said she doesn't know if they accept Medicaid and if not, she didn't know how much it would cost. How does that help ME? In the end I faced the usual situation-- Having to start ALL OVER AGAIN to look for help that may not be available to me (AGAIN) and that I possibly CANNOT AFFORD (AGAIN). To sum up, Hello Alpha has misleading language on their website that leads those wanting help astray, which is a cruel tease for those at the end of their rope.
