Question 1

What does a visit entail?

Accepted Answer

Your Virtual Care Visit will include a 20 to 30 minute comprehensive and detailed videocall with a licensed, board-certified nurse practitioner — all from the comfort of your own home. Your provider will ask questions to learn about your symptoms, health concerns, and goals. They will work with you to create an actionable, personalized care plan that may include lab testing, one-time prescriptions, and lifestyle recommendations.

Question 2

What are the age restrictions for visits?

Accepted Answer

At this time, Virtual Care Visits are for patients aged 18 and above.

Question 3

How long will my visit be?

Accepted Answer

The length of your appointment will depend on the topics you discuss with your provider. A typical visit will be 20 minutes long but can range from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the complexity of your case. Your providers’ schedules are maintained to give you the best, most attentive care possible.

Question 4

What is the average wait time to book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are available within 3 hours of booking, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST. This is to provide adequate time for you to receive your insurance pricing estimate via email. If you have issues with scheduling, please view our Support Site FAQ for more information.

Question 5

Is there any type of care I should NOT expect to receive (e.g., mental health care)?

Accepted Answer

A Virtual Care Visit is a starting point to help you understand symptoms, speak with an expert, and devise a care plan with next steps like prescriptions, at-home testing, lab testing, lifestyle changes, or more. If you have not yet been diagnosed with a condition and want to better understand what might be going on, this offering is for you. Virtual Care Visits are not for patients experiencing life-threatening symptoms or patients who have already been diagnosed with a condition and who are interested in recurring prescriptions or ongoing management of a chronic condition Examples of care that is supported: Prescriptions for antidepressants or antianxiety medication Ongoing weight management/weight loss programs Ongoing mental healthcare (therapy) Erectile dysfunction prescriptions Birth control Preconception support Hormone replacement therapy PrEP Long-term management of diagnosed conditions such as diabetes, celiac disease, HIV, etc. Life-threatening symptoms, such as the following.

Question 6

What kinds of providers are available?

Accepted Answer

Your licensed, board-certified nurse practitioners are qualified to prescribe medication, order lab tests, and assess your symptoms and health goals to create a customized care plan for you.

Question 7

Will I get to choose the provider I schedule an appointment with?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we’ll show you the providers who have availability and are licensed in the state you’re located in.

Question 8

What insurance plans are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Many major insurance plans are accepted. To confirm if your specific plan is accepted, you should move forward with the process to schedule your visit and enter your insurance information to have a payer eligibility check conducted. You will receive an email before your scheduled appointment or within one business day from Everlywell partner, OpenLoop, about your estimate and insurance eligibility. Please note: We do not accept Medicare Part B or Medicaid fee-for-service coverage. However, we do accept Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care plans.

Question 9

How much will a visit cost with insurance?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Are prescriptions available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some one-time prescriptions are available for eligible patients. However, recurring prescriptions that require long-term care (i.e. for depression, anxiety, thyroid conditions, etc.) are not supported. If your clinician determines that a one-time prescription is recommended, they will send a prescription to your pharmacy of choice. If your clinician determines that a refillable prescription for a chronic condition may be needed, they can assist with finding appropriate external care.

Question 11

Am I able to speak to a provider about past test results?

Accepted Answer

The virtual visit is for YOU—that means you help set the goals. If you have lab results you’d like to walk through, please have them available to share with the clinician. If you need help on how to do this, check out our support site [insert link to support FAQ]. Note that in the event you share older test results, your provider may recommend updated testing, but this may still provide a great starting point for a meaningful discussion.

Question 12

Are tests and prescriptions covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

At this time, Everlywell tests are not covered by insurance. Everlywell tests are at-home lab tests that do not require an office visit. Everlywell tests are typically priced lower than out-of-pocket costs associated with such visits and in-person tests. Alternatively, recommended in-person lab tests and prescriptions may be covered by your insurance plan. Please contact your insurance carrier to confirm, and review our insurance [FAQs here].

Question 13

If I need a follow-up visit, will I be able to speak to the same provider?

Accepted Answer

If any follow-up care is advised, a certified medical assistant will schedule a follow-up appointment for you. Please note that any follow-up appointments are considered separate from the initial appointment and will come at an additional cost.

Question 14

What kind of next steps might come from this visit?

Accepted Answer

Your provider will document a care plan for each visit that can be found in your My Everly account once the visit concludes. The care plan will include a summary of your visit and personalized next step recommendations. Your plan may include at-home or in-lab testing, one-time prescriptions, and imaging referrals.
