Exactly as described so far so good they were very quick and in depth got me out of a predicament I was in due to scheduling issues got a fast response and gave me the help I need so far so good. People need to understand this is a temporary solution they even state that in their description if I ever need in the future I will definitely be coming back to helixvm. All of these bad reviews are just people trying to request things that I’m positive they don’t really need, don’t let the bad reviews discourage you from using this service if you have a legitimate issue and medical records to back up your claim you should have no problem with receiving help. I have a strong feeling a lot of these bad reviews are people expecting to get a controlled substance when they don’t really need them get mad when they get charged for this by not reading the terms beforehand if you have a legitimate reason you should have documentation to back it up.

I recently tested positive with the flu and this service was EXTREMELY helpful during the busy holiday season. They were able to immediately prescribe me with remedies and the visit was easy and effective. I totally recommend to anyone who needs quick and reliable treatment and the providers were knowledgeable and truly cared about my well being. 10/10 experience.

The process for making an appointment was quick and easy, and the appointment itself was quick yet efficient. The need for such quick care was addressed thoroughly, and the physician on my video call was extremely kind and attentive. Other video healthcare visits in the past have make me feel like I was just one more person on the agenda to get checked off. I actually felt heard with Helix medical and genuinely cared for.

The first impression is a lasting impression and with that being said, I will never recommend this service for anybody that I know anybody that I dont know even my enemies. Im a type 2 diabetic, and I want was a freestyle libre so I could better monitor my numbers which Im willing to pay for out of my own pocket. HelixVM did not help me. Im just trying to be proactive with my own healthcare.

I had appointment 12/23/24. I just needed prescription refilled. They were able to refill for me. I should of known at the pharmacy that these people scammed me but did not realize till later on (until the insurance went thru for appointment). But the main problem was how they billed my insurance. Clearly they scammed the insurance. I saw in my email there was a claim that went thru so I checked to see what went thru. It was these people. They billed my insurance $1,000 just for prescription refill. I asked insurance what office put thru since it was clearly a billing problem. The insurance said there were 2 $500 charges, one was for office visit but didnt know what the other charge was for. I just know they said they are out-of-network (which ok fine I was unaware and so I knew to pay whatever they charged). I tried asking HelixVM and pretty much said I think they billed insurance wrong cuz it should not be $1,000 for my visit. To recheck how they billed me cuz it was clearly wrong. Their response was literally ask your insurance why amount so high. These people were of no help. Now Im stuck having to pay $1,000 for their billing mistake.EDIT -- 1/13/25 I received an email from Helix saying they were charging $78 and never once tried putting thru $1,000. Apparently since insurance did not pay claim they were charging self pay price, and claimed insurance should of told me the price that was sent over needed to be adjusted. I emailed back showing the $1,000 they sent over to insurance. Still never heard back after that. I added screenshots of the $1,000 they denied sending over. I guess they dont want to admit some people actually check and will see, maybe going with someone not checking and not realizing what they did.

This was my first time using this site. I feel like they could give you the opportunity to type in symptoms, as their options werent inclusive of everything I had going on. It would have given the doctor a better idea of a treatment plan.

It was easy to schedule, but I was never connected to a provider after waiting 45 mins. No one even came on to say they were running late or that someone would be with me in a few minutes. Probably will not try to use again, which is a shame because I would use it if was available.

The service itself is fine, but the back end billing is terrible. They claim they contacted my insurance and were told that it was only secondary insurance. That is ridiculous. Our is the only insurance I have, routinely pays quickly, and has no record of contact from Helix. I would absolutely use someone else.

Couldn’t get into my PCP so I Did a virtual visit for stomach issues. No fever, no extreme symptoms. It’s a peptic ulcer I’ve had them before. Nothing that warranted a trip to the ER. Doctor said “nothing I can do, go to the ER”Now they want to charge me even though their website states they help with stomach issues. They were no help. I’ve used other online services with no issues before. I definitely don’t recommend HelixVM. Use a different service. Save yourself a headache.

I literally never spoke with a Dr, or received any kind of service do to my insurance being denied. Yet theyre still emailing me, saying they cant reverse the charges made on my bank card, nor will they stop it from being charged again. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY, 100%. WHAT KIND OF COMPANY TAKES YOUR MONEY AFTER YOU ASKING THEM NOT TO, FOR A SERVICE YOU NEVER RECEIVED? THIEVES....THATS WHO!!!

Dr Carmelle Beauvais was not great. I understand you’re a teledoctor but the medication I was asking for was not a controlled substance. the symptoms I was describing felt reasonable for the medication I was inquiring about. Besides this, the dr did not let me speak. She went on a rant informing me specialists I need to see when I explained to her I had already seen them. I am perfectly healthy and was worried on a particular symptom I had while being on another medication. She is the expert and I respect her look on it but she could’ve articulated it in a better, respectful manner. She did not “want to spend any more time of this” because other providers “would better assist me with any other questions I had”. Felt very rush and extremely dismissive. No advice either. I believe an essential key to being a doctor is having empathy and understanding and if you lack this, your tittle of job should not be a doctor. My advice, have doctors that have empathy and a level mind of understanding for their role. You are teledoctors and if you want returning customers I can assure you, I will not be one. There are other teledoctors who do a better job out there and can provide me with the outcome I want with a better explanation as to why a medicine should or should not be prescribed to someone.

I was in a bind with my Dr quitting where he was working and was not notified so when I showed up for my appointment there was nobody there to assist me and I needed a prescription that you were not able to stop immediately so I tried Helixvm. I provided all my info and that same day a Dr. had sent over a temporary prescription to my pharmacy. I am very grateful as now at least I can find another primary physician. Thank you for doing what you do. Russell

3 stars because your app and website are hard to navigate around. Communication about what would happen next was unclear. They sent an update of a treatment plan that I clicked on and it would not open. Not the most user friendly experience. Please work on that. I didnt know I actually had an order called in until I got a message from my pharmacy that my meds were ready. Poor communication.

I used this service a year and a half ago and it was pretty good. I.trurd to refill the same prescription at the same dosage that they filled for me a year and a half ago so I thought there would be no issue. Unfortunately they have gone way down in terms of intelligence and patient care. They refused to refill fluoxetine generic Prozac at 40 mg despite the fact that I have been taking it for years and they already filled it a year and a half agoThe wan who contacted me told me they are not able to refill a prescription at a different dosage despite the fact that they had filled the exact same rx before and the fact that Walgreens could have verified that you was taking that dosage for the last two years. So they also charged me 75 dollars and when I was transferred to their billing department I got an answering machine. Order your online medication somewhere else. They are just taking 75 dollars to leave me without my medicine and its terribly unprofessional.

No one answers the phone on site. All automated email responses. They have on their site you can get a Z packw out a Dr visit having 2 small children and just being to the Dr and the antibiotic wasn’t working and a zpack always does. They took my ins info. Charged my card and then told me I would need to go to a lab to have blood work done. Total,scam. In process of filing a fraud charge and having my insurance do the same.

Appointment was scheduled same day (within 1hr). The questionnaire was seamless and straight to the point. Was seen by a doctor (virtual/video). Very quick and painless. From the time I registered (11:30am) I was picking up my script from Walgreens by 3:30pm hassle free. Will definitely use HelixVM again. Definitely recommended!

Don’t do it they charged my insurance over $1000 multiple times For one visitand then tried to drain my bank account. I had to dispute charges and order new cards. I already reported them to the BBB and plan on suing do not use them If you want a virtual urgent care, use Teladoc helix Has been reported So many times for fraud. And they are well known scam artists I also had to report them to my insurance, so hopefully they’ll be shut Down soon

I signed up online. There was no correspondence with the doctors office. Helixvm sent me warning emails to make payment or they were automatically charging my credit card. No live agent to speak to except through slow email support. I never did get my prescription and their customer service still billed me. I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company. STAY AWAY or use a different site. Save yourself the headache.

First I was greeted by a friendly nurse who helped me with check in since I could hardly walk. Then an attendant came to get me and found a wheelchair for me and then I met the doctor who was very friendly, helpful and we came to a decision of how to treat my condition. I’m very grateful since my symptoms immediately improved after the prescriptions were administered! Thank all of you!

This place is a scam. I was never contacted by a doctor but I was sent a billing statement saying my card would be charged. For what service I don’t know. None of my emails or texts were answered except with an automated response that someone would contact me. Can’t reach anyone on the phone. Very sad that they are taking advantage of people. False advertisement.

Scam artists. 9/6/24 I was immediately denied my request for prednisone- I never spoke to a doctor through call, video, text, email, or any other format. They sent me a bill for $143 and have been trying to withdraw money from my bank for months. I went to the BBB and Helixs response was that I picked up a prescription they wrote for me. Wrong- I picked up a prescription two days ago that I got from BeeperMD.

BEWARE!!! My doctor stopped seeing patients so I saw this and thought it would be convenient as I had taken a very lose dose anxiety med which they advertised as prescribing from convenience of home.. In asking what current meds I take I wrote in Suboxone which I have my own provider for and have taken for over 10 years but I guess to them I am still considered an addict because they wrote in capitals WE DONT PRESCRIBE SUBOXONE and closed the case denying me a visit even . Funny because I never inquired about it I just filled out the current meds part .So now on a weekly basis I am harassed for a $98 bill .. so I guess they charge to discriminate based on what your regular doctor prescribes...In short, if you dont want to get charged for being denied a visit .. stay away..

I was very disappointed with HelixVM. Their website claims they refill prescriptions and write new ones if needed but when I asked them to refill my insomnia medication (Clonidine), Kenneth VanDerBeck instantly replied with We dont do that. Go to a primary doctor ..... It might not be a very good idea to false advertise.... theyre quick to bill your insurance though! HelixVM is a scam. A report will be filed with the Better Business Bureau, they need to be investigated.

I did not think the patient experience was good. Needed a quick refill on the weekend before going out of the country. Was asked to submit some additional information, which I did, then never heard anything back. Then was charged for the service with no additional information or communication. I emailed and asked what happened and was informed my refill was declined because my rx was more than 2 months old. Horrible communication and still charged me. Dont recommend.

Great visit at Helix. Clean facilities, staff at front desk were efficient at getting me signed in and squared away with insurance, and my wait time was very short. Leo and Dr Pruett were very efficient and friendly, which goes a long way when one feels under the weather. Overall it was a 5-star experience.

Went to Helix Urgent care years ago when I had an ear infection while on vacation and I just went again recently because I got an ear infection yet again. The girl at the desk was friendly and very helpful with signing me in quickly and efficiently and the nurse and doctor were quick to check out what was wrong with little wait time. The doctor was extremely helpful, friendly, and was very good at explaining what was wrong and what I needed to do to recover. After coming here twice it’s safe to say I know that if I ever need to see a doctor ASAP I won’t hesitate to come here.

This company is a fraudulent, they charged me over $1500 for a service I never received. For urgent care that I’ve never been too.

Dont use this company. When they mess up (and they just make things up about your medical history - doc looked at the wrong record or made it up), theres NO way to contact them to correct their error. They give you a phone number, and when you call, they have a message informing you they dont accept patient calls. What kind of doctors office doesnt accept calls from patients?? Im filing a complaint with BCBS. Absolute scam. AVOID if youre smart.

Absolutely awful. Clearly dont care about helping people. I requested for a virtual visit then they denied me. Their reason being we cant give you any refills as youve had one recently. First off, Im not even on medications. Second off Ive never been seen here before. Third off, I didnt even ASK for a refill. I was asking for an appointment. I think hm maybe a mistake. So I try AGAIN to get an appointment. They set it up and then cancel it without ANY explanation as to why. What an absolute joke.

I’ve been to this emergency clinic three or four times, and each visit has been a positive experience. The staff here is incredibly nice and kind, making what could be a stressful situation much more manageable. The waiting times are surprisingly short, which is a huge relief when you’re not feeling well. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone in need of prompt and compassionate care.

Helix is a scam. They denied my prescription and I didn’t even have a televised visit or even a phone call. They just decided to deny my prescription (non controlled substance) and charge me $98.00 anyway. No way to call them and no way to get in touch with “my doctor” Joel B Durinka. Just took my money, ignored my response and went fishing for the next sucker. Reporting this fraudulent scam also.

Virtual appointment went well, trying to get the prescription was the issue! Needed a prior authorization, they never sent anything even after saying they started it, even after I provided them the fax number to send the PA, even after the pharmacy reached out to get more information! NEVER GOT THE MEDICATION! Save your time and money, just got to an actual doctor’s office if you can, this is not it! Won’t be using again. Good luck to whoever does!

I have set up 3 appts with these people to try to get help regarding my seizjdss, migraines and sleep. literally all three times all the doctor would say is you need to go back to the hospital. like if i wanted to go to a hospital thats what i would have done, i set up appts and got billed so that i wouldnt have to go to the hospital. they were no help and def would NOT recommend. also!!!! i only got to talk with a doctor once on video, the other times they billed me with out letting me speak with a doctor just to tell me to go back to the damn hospital. the one time i did get to speak with a doctor, she was NO help, very rude and rushed me.

Review №51

I have NEVER used their services before and NEVER use my CashApp card to pay for any services. I only use my CashApp for in store purchases at local convenient stores, but today I went on my CashApp app and saw that “Helix Medical Virtual” was trying to charge my card $8.75. I don’t keep cash on my card. I load it as necessary so there wasn’t enough funds on the card for it to be processed. I am going to contact them to see what this is all about because I also have never even used a virtual doctor except for my own designated psychiatrist (has no affiliation with HMV) so this is definitely sketchy. Be weary of them because I am reading a lot of reviews that they over charge patients who have already paid or already collected from someones insurance. There is absolutely no reason for them to have my billing information and no reason for them to be trying to charge me for services. No services were ever requested or provided. Idc that it was only $8.75. I want to know how they obtained my credit card information!

Review №52

Their online practice is 100% a scam. I attempted to use their FastTrack Rx and was billed for the pleasure of messaging with absolutely no one while failing to receive a prescription. Thankfully, it seems that I got away with a lighter bill than some other reviewers - to the point that I would rather just pay it and get them off my case forever rather than fight - but yeah. Stay far away for sure.

Review №53

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a completely fraudulent practice. My virtual care meeting was exactly 2 minutes. I was provided a bill that I paid in full after receiving it. I never received care from this practice after and after 8 months of silence, was hit with a surprise bill related to the visit and multiple demands to pay it. I tried in earnest to call and have some explanation of the charges but they don’t take phone calls. They sent me sham, nonsensical invoices over email to explain the costs and when I detailed how the invoices didn’t make sense, they stopped responding. This practice should honestly be shut down, it’s very shady.

I couldn’t get a timely prescription from my doctor of a medication that would stink to go without. HelixVM was able to send me in a 7 day supply.

Didnt see a doctor. Filled out a form, then sent a perscripton but the medicine is $1200 and my insurance wont cover it so they decide to charge me. I contact them, they give a robot response of pay your bill or it will go to collections. They took the money and it paid it off. No services rendered other than them sending a random perscripton not hacked against if my insurance would cover it or not then said youre on your own now. They are refusing to delete my account and seemingly are going to keep sending in perscriptons so they can charge me every month. Ludacris! Do not use these people unless you are 100% sure your insurance will cover the medicine that the website says guaranteed will be $99 or less. Wrong very wrong.

I wish there was a no star option because this company doesnt even deserve 1 star. I wish I would have looked into the reviews beforehand. This company is absolutely fraudulent. Im healthy, not on routine medications,all ai was needing was a sleeping pill Ambien. They automatically said no (because they dont prescribe controlled substances which Ambien is) and gave me a referral to see my primary doctor. The only reason I tried to get it through HelixVM is because I work M-F 8a-5p and I drive an hour to work each day so its hard for me to take off to see my doctor. Billed my insurance $500 & is now trying to collect $148 from me. I have contacted my insurance company and reported this company as fraudulent. I will not be paying this company a single penny.

EDIT:Coincidentally after this review, I got a call from HelixVM and they informed me that my prescription was sent and it would be ready in 3-4 hours. This was true and my medication was finally sent.Original:This place is a scam. They have charged me for my visit but there was no visit nor medications prescribed. There was a visit summary claiming I would get treatment and that my treatment had been sent to the pharmacy. I contacted them to told them that my pharmacy had no such information. HelixVM CM rep stated that the prescription was sent. This was 3 weeks ago (after they have charged me for this visit as well), and they continue to tell me they are sending my request to the medical team, but continue to not get a response other than an automated reply.

Review №86

Worst experience I’ve ever had with an online Dr. They filled my prescription the first time, but when it was time for a refill they took my monthly payment and didn’t give me my medication. It was BP medicine, nothing crazy. I had no new symptoms or any reason why they couldn’t fill it. I called and customer service told me the dr said I needed to be seen in person. Which is fine, I’ll do that. But they refuse to refund the money they took from me. I thought I could trust them, they seemed legit. I would just caution any new person, don’t give them your bank information. I’m so disappointed and absolutely done with online medicine after this.

Thank you thank you thank you . Helix VM pulled through. My type 2 dibetes came back . No prescription for metformin. HELIX had a precription waiting for me at walmart the same day.I was skeptic about online companies. This company more or less saved my life . My blood sugar is down and I am alive . I highly recommend helix. Even just the piece of mind was well worth using helix . 5STARS absoluely

This company is absolutely horrible, first off the doctor that I had my virtual visit with was acting like she didnt want to be there, had an attitude and basically said okay to anything I said without even really listening or explaining. Then when I got my bill I was a few days late and they sent me a bill literally every day to where I had 15 bills in 3 days on top of that they would call an email me basically harassing me until I pay them of course I paid them and now Im fighting with them to get my account deleted

Skip this for any male issues. They make you goto a real Dr anyway to get labs. Regardless of how healthy you are. They will give you one month, then they make you goto a real Dr to get labs dawn. Skip this! Just go to your general Dr and get your script. So much easier. Even if you wanted to get labs the app Helix they make you use has no way in the app to send your labs to them.

I agree with the previous reviewer who suggested that I do not waste my time and money. I should have read the one-star reviews first! I needed a fast response service due to positive Covid test and flu-like symptoms. Over twelve hours after I first requested service, HelixVM were asking me to use an app to schedule a video chat (at a time to be scheduled hours later!) and were sketchy in advance about exactly how much I was to pay. I went with a competing service and received my Paxlovid prescription within two hours. I wasted my time and will ensure that these scammers dont get my money. SUPER SLOW SERVICE!

BEWARE: SCAM and INSURANCE FRAUD.Their customers service is absolutely impossible to get ahold of and they will charge your insurance over $1000 a couple days later for nothing. I thought I was just having a consultation and was never in clear communications with any doctor or find anyway to reach out to them. Their patient portal is terrible to navigate as obviously they’re a scam. I had a consultation with them in April and they sent me lab-works to do but I ended up just not going through fully as I was never able to reach out to anyone, they said they accepted Cigna my insurance and I was charged $98 for which I already emailed them back in April why I’m even being charged for this and now my insurance said they’re claiming we own them $1,100. I don’t understand how all our bad reviews don’t show up on top as MANY MANY other patients have the same exact experience but they only show the good reviews. For everyone please for the sake of your time and money do NOT EVER use this company. I hope someone can file a class action lawsuit against them so all of us don’t have to keep worrying and dealing with this disgrace of a company out of our billable hours.

Review №106

I received 5 days supply on a refill for a co trolled substance sleep medicine I’ve been getting 30 day supplies of previously before I moved. I do not have an established doctor because I’ve lived here for three weeks, and my insurance is to be used at Ascension only yet Ascension physicians haven’t been able to take any new patients because of the hack that’s been all over the United States in the news. So I went onto the website it said it would refill a controlled substance. I made tea, paperwork and payment and they took the $95 and they gave me a five day supply. I could’ve went out of pocket anywhere in the area and gotten a 30 month with probably at least one refill to get me through anywhere else if I just would’ve waited a few days and made an appointment. But because it seemed very easy, they said they except sleep medication and there wouldn’t be any issues and yet I only got a five day supply for $95 and they won’t refund my money back. I have asked them and giving them an explanation of the fact that I have been out of a job for two months and I really don’t have this kind of money to spend for five days supply and if they didn’t want to refill my prescription, they didn’t have to take my money but instead they took the money and only gave me five days supply. It’s not acceptable if you’re going to exclude controlled substance that exclude them on your website or when they ask you and tell them no they’re not going to give you a refill that I wouldn’t have done it, but it says that they accepted it spoke to someone they said they wouldn’t be any issues and they won’t refund my money.. there are many other places you can use their way less money to refill prescription or to give you a new prescription that are online! Don’t use them

Glad to see I’m not the only one who was SCAMMED by this company. I scheduled visit in November ‘23 and my appointment was canceled as the provider was “held up”, a term others have said was used on them too. So then I was supposed to be rescheduled and nothing. So I went to CityMD virtual and had great experience. Month later I receive bill and see they charged my insurance over a $1000 for a visit that never happened with a Dr. Mary Buggia (a doctor others have mentioned in complaints) when my doctor I was scheduled with was a Dr.VanDerBeck. I see messages on app that prescriptions were sent to what pharmacy who knows but definitely not for me. My insurance company starts investigating and says they found in favor of the provider so after hours of calls back and forth and three way calls with Helix customer service, same girl each time, and promised someone would get back to me, no responses. Then I leave voicemails n emails and nothing. My insurance rep actually lost her patience with them when told a “manager” would get back to me personally but she could NOT provide a name of manager, not even a first name. Really fishy. Usually I’d research first but I was sick and day after Thanksgiving so I just wanted to get treated and instead I got stuck like a turkey. Now reading all these reviews and on Trustpilot, similar MO for this company and obviously racking u thousands of dollars in insurance fraud and credit card fraud. I am looking into filing class action lawsuit and want to reach out to attorney general in Florida as this company and its owners need to be held accountable and jailed. Don’t know how they got away with this for so long doing the same thing repeatedly and following same scripts. Will keep you posted! For new people, HEED THE WARNINGS, STAY AWAY!

05/24/2024 UPDATE: A manager called and apologize for the situation and although it took a few months, did do the right thing and refund my total charge. Obviously I dont need the medication anymore anyway. Just be careful when dealing with these companies go in person if you can but I will say I respect this and most companies wouldnt have called . 1 star -> 3 starsLike others have mentioned, was billed for a service I never received. They claimed I was never assessed and then right under it having an assessment section LOL. I received a summary of my visit that never occurred recently for March 4 at 7 AM that also never occurred (was sleeping). They said the prescription request form i sent over could not be fulfilled because it was a controlled substance. So I literally never met with anyone never spoke with anyone nothing. They didnt bother to directly email or call me with a message or options. But thats fine. Whats not fine is sending me a summary document filled with stuff that never happened, bogus vitals, and then the day later charging me the full fee of now $100. My bank did the right thing because when I couldnt get in contact with these people it appears they would not. Stay away

Edit: I have never, ever wished I could leave a negative star review, but Helix has outdone itself. I had hoped leaving a one star review was enough, but incessant texts and emails about collecting $103 from a 2-4 minute video call where a doctor says We dont do that. I cant help you. Heres a referral. Good luck is their preferred marketing technique. I attempted to return the call from the gentleman investigating the one star review (since they are more concerned with Google Reviews than patient outcomes) and have yet to hear back, which shows just how much they care.This was a complete and utter waste of both time and money. Despite advertising itself as beginning a healthcare journey and care, and despite being under the purview of primary care, my appointment was actually a five minute video call of We can only discuss one issue per visit and Oh, you need to see someone else. Heres a referral. Bye. If you need urgent care for one issue, this might be useful. If youre looking for a service that actually provides care, I wouldnt bother.

I made an appointment online and they said they took my insurance. I got medication that didn’t end up working, I did my whole appointment through answering questions on an app and never met with a doctor, which was fine by me. I was charged $10. Then three weeks later I got charged $98 on my card.

This is a SCAM- please go to an in person doctor and AVOID using this platform. I recently was experiencing intense stomach pain, and was unable to get an appointment with my general doctor within the time frame needed. I set up my portal as a quick alternative expecting to meet with a doctor via call. Instead the “doctor” was an AI generated questionnaire which ultimately prompted me to “seek in-person medical care”.After giving me no helpful information, or access to a real doctor- or person. I was billed close to $100 for the 10 min online questionnaire they provided.It was my fault for being so ignorant to poor reviews, please don’t make the same mistake I did.

My pharmacy didn’t have the prescription and they tried to reach out to the doctor to ask for an alternative. The doctor knew I left for the trip soon, and never responded. I had to go through a different doctor to get a new prescription. I was charged by these people $98 out of pocket. And my insurance was charged a whopping $1000.

Scam / fraud. I needed a refill on my asthma inhaler and my Dr clinic was closed. I stumbled upon this and they claimed to take my insurance. They had an option to use refill without speaking with anyone. They claimed to send script to my pharmacy but it never went through (similar to others here). After repeated attempts and about a week later, they finally sent it over; by then I didn’t even need it. About a month later, they bill my instance 500 bucks and charge me close to 80. Firstly they claimed to take my insurance and then they still manage to charge me a crazy amount just for a refill. On top of that, all of my “ chart” is wrong and they falsely documented my vitals, didn’t ask me for my medical history or anything. This seems like a money mill and taking advantage of people / salon to insurance fraud (over billing). I will be filing complaints to the state licensing board among various other organizations.

This place is an absolute joke. False advertising frauds. I had an appointment and confirmed with the provider where my pharmacy was, the one I input myself before the appointment.

AVOID. SCAM.Somehow got forced into a request for a prescription only instead of a Teladoc visit. They advertise prescription sent without a visit. How the hell can a physician prescribe medication with a new patient without ever having visited them? The reason for the visit was fairly benign, howeverthey canceled the request and simply stated go to the ER for an abscess complaint on the gum line. They canceled the request and simply stated go to the ER for an abscess complaint on the gum line.

Was actually googling quick at home remedies when I came across this place. Everything seemed/sounded great, super convenient. Did the Fast Track option at 4am bc I felt awful but had to work in the morning. Super easy, but I didn’t think anything was going to happen. Later on in the evening I received a text that they sent the prescription, followed by a text from my pharmacy that it couldn’t be filled. Called and they told me they put in a request for an alternative bc my insurance didn’t cover that one (something I’ve never heard of). It was just a simple antibiotic, I’ve literally never had one that my insurance did not cover. I called the number Helix gives on the website and got voicemail telling me to leave a message. No response. I sent an email and the only response I received was that they’ll look in to it further. It’s been 3 days and nothing, however I’m sure my insurance got billed for the “visit”. It’s either a scam or incredibly inconvenient for an “urgent care” kind of situation. A) why send in something crazy that my pharmacy doesn’t even carry and insurance doesn’t cover when there are a billion other more common options B) if it takes a week+ then it’s pointless

Do not waste your time. I booked an appointment to see about getting a psych referral. I met with a doctor via a telehealth appt and the doctor did nothing other than put the referral in. 6 weeks later, I’ve still not heard back and they charged $500 for the visit. Apparently the doctor who booked the referral put in a “treatment plan” basically telling me to walk outside and exercise to relieve anxiety. Thats what the $500 charge was for. That wasn’t the reason I asked for an appointment though.Based on my experience, it appears that this organization cares more about money than it does patient care.

One of the worst experiences trying to get anxiety meds. they do NOT listen, and are quick to label you as medication seeking if you are opposed to SSRI’s. they will minimize your problems, say you’re “too young” to be on fast acting medications that are proven to relieve your symptoms (I am in my twenties and have been dealing with severe anxiety for almost 10 years), though at this point I won’t make it to the “right” age. they refuse to return calls (or answer them in the first place), and do not answer emails or messages. they don’t show for appointments you have made in advance, and tell you they sent a prescription when the pharmacy never receives anything. of course, they’ll be charging you & your insurance for all this, and even MAKE UP A FAKE APPOINTMENT to charge your insurance for after you said you would go somewhere else. don’t waste your time, money, or mental health on this place.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. A complete scam! Never heard from a physician, was charged $95 for someone to tell me once I called to find out what happened with my appointment to look on the back of my insurance card for a physician. I have recorded all of my phone calls with their customer service telling me they would refund my money since last weekend and it’s Friday I still haven’t received that refund so now those recordings will become TikTok videos unless I receive my refund for this fraudulent foolishness!

There was a couple stumbling blocks getting started. I almost gave up but thankfully a lady who answered when i called customer service named Angela helped me get everything figured out. She was so kind and pleasant. She literally went SO above and beyond to make sure my son and I both got our appointments completed and the medications that we needed. The PA Kenneth VanDerBeck was so lovely. I am absolutely using Helix again and would recommend them.I will say that if youre trying to get through to customer service and nobody answers just literally keep trying until somebody picks up. You will be glad you did.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was trying to get a script filled through them and they sent me a text to give my pharmacy 2 hours to accept and fill it. A whole day goes by, nothing. I try and call them and I keep getting sent to voicemail. I better not be charged! Reporting to better business bureau.

I was told by the director of operations that I would never encounter the same horrible experience with them again as I did in the past and what happens?? I EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN! I used fast track again, said my meds be sent to pharmacy in a few hours then I get an email that everything was CANCELLED! NOTHING and I mean ABSOLUTELY nothing but bad experiences with them. Then they dont even reply on my emails. Worst, most horrible set up ever. Inconvenience. Time wasted with these people AGAIN. Please take my advice! Go elsewhere. Dont waste your time. Thats what it seems like they are out to do! No show doctors. Yeah fast track prescription alright! They need shut down. Keep conducting business like this with people, pretty soon youll have now and more than likely will be shut done. Profit seeking time wasters! Now I am about to take to social media and let everyone there know what I let you know here. Please, dont expect much out of this place. They are ridiculous! Trust me.

This is the fastest appointment to get my prescription I have ever had. No hassles or anything. Since I was between doctors, I was in trouble because the medication that I needed I’ve had filled for five years and without it would be in trouble.

This company is a complete scam. They charged my insurance $500 and I never even finished the consult. Now they want to send me to collections over a $5 bill that I don’t even owe. I’ve reported them to my insurance company for fraud. Hopefully it’s taken care of soon. Don’t use this company.

Scheduled a virtual appointment, provided requested information and received results and a prescription was sent to my local pharmacy. Pharmacy sent a text to confirm the prescription was ready including the $ amount of my deductible. Sounds great, right? Yeah, no. Get to the pharmacy and the prescription was cancelled by this outfit. I called Helix to ask why and they couldnt tell me why but did want to schedule me for a follow-up (at a cost). Fool me once, shame on me. Youre not fooling me twice.

Do not use them. I paid $98 for a month supply of medication for gabapentin they gave me three days worth. When I called to ask about it Tina answered and told me gabapentin was a controlled substance In Florida I let her know she was misinformed and it wasnt thats when she got really defensive and hung up on me. I called back to speak to a supervisor and she refused to let me talk to anyone. I think its really sad that their lead medical assistant doesnt know what a controlled substance is and is giving people false information. You can tell shes not very educated. Luckily I got a refund she told me she was going to make sure I didnt receive a refund but it wasnt up to her and I did receive it. Shes really rude and I would never use this company again because of her

Review №189

This was for a virtual visit with a Cigna patient. Cigna is advertised on your website as being one of the major insurance providers accepted, and in addition you claim that no more than $95 out of pocket to be expected. I got a notification that my visit would be over $600 with FACILITY fees included (the visit was VIRTUAL), and that the provider is not in network! How does this happen with so much discrepancy from what is being advertised on your website?! Ive NEVER had to pay more than $100 for a virtual 10-minute lasting visit. Thats insane to think that I now owe more than $600! Scam!!

I was very Leary and sceptical to use an online service but today is a holiday and I didnt want to go to the ER for a UTI and waste time and resources but from a quick entry online no phone call or back to back communication I just picked up my antibiotics. From start to finish it was about an hour.

I had CoVid and a corneal abrasion at the same time. My local opthamologist clinic was not seeing patients in person. Go Telehealth, right?When my visit started, I began explaining what was happening, but the PA rudely interrupted me asking why I was there. Apparently, he had not looked at my chart.I explained I had CoVid and a painful corneal abrasion-- and my local opthamology clinic was not seeing patients with CoVid. I was in acute pain- my eye was visibly inflamed! Again, he asks why I came.Maybe I insulted him when I said that corticosterioids eye drops reduce inflammation, pain and prevent further injury. This was immediately refused.He then asked if I needed anything else? Hesitantly, could I have tylenol w/ hydrocodone for pain? Of course not! He would have to see my eye first! Wait, isnt this why I was there?To add insult to injury, instead of billing my insurance-- Helix charged my bank $97.00! What happened to using my insurance info that I uploaded?I called customer service and was promised three times a supervisor would return my call. Nope. But I did get two emails stating everything went just as it should, service was provided, end of discussion, pay up.The Helix PA did not hear my pain or care that his suggestion that I see a specialist was not possible. He lacked compassion and made me cry. Oh, and made no attempt at any sort of examination or interview.Hopefully, more patients will not be turned away and shamed when they are in need. It was a bitter pill to say the least:/Janiece in CA

If I could write this place at zero Stars I would! The very first telehealth visit that I had with them went smoothly. The doctor was very kind patient and understanding to my concerns. But today marks a different story. I used the AL Driven Technology for the fast scripts, where theres no need to see the doctor. This is only supposed to take about 2 or 3 hours at the most well since about 11am, and it is now five, still no prescription at my Pharmacy. I made two telehealth appointments to see the doctor virtually also today one at 2:00 well no call no nothing. So I called them and only thing you can get is an answering machine that doesnt call you back until who knows when. And then I make another appointment for 2:30 and the same thing. No doctors appointment. No notifications of it. Nothing from Helix! So they say this is convenient no in my case its not. I have an infected tooth that I needed antibiotics for and now Im sitting here in pain with my mouth swollen because twice theyre our technology did not send my prescription into my Pharmacy and twice on top of that my appointments that I made to actually see the doctor virtually were not even completed! Would I recommend them to anyone after my first visit yes I would have. But after today after four tries, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

Review №198

She had an impatient tone all the way through. I told her what 3different doctors prescribed for the depression and she insisted they were wrong the Bupropion was NOT a booster to the Sertraline I’ve been taking for 3 years…She said I didn’t submit the Sertraline to the web site… it was first on the list.She scolded me saying this isn’t going to be a full submission, I never asked it to be. She said it’s just to get me from running out of meds to my next Dr appointment… I said, yes, that is what and why I calling…Then I said I needed Meclize for the bad heart burn, she yell at me saying I didn’t tell her that… um, I told her from the start about the GURDS, then the middle saying I get bad heart burn, she said I know, I already got it…But hello how can she say I didn’t tell her when I wasn’t finished telling her what I was out of…..she ended saying she was going to review and see if she will send these over!She was horrible to deal with! I’m as highly educated as she is, and can guarantee I’ve had more life experiences! I don’t talk to her or anyone the way she spoke to me! she has no right to talk down to me like she did!Not to mention last night I was scheduled for a 7:15 appointment and I waited for 2 hours on the phone and NO ONE EVER GOT ON!

Negative stars… Advertise max 95.00 out if pocket… false advertising, should be investigated! Charged $1000.00 for a UTI. Advertised Cigna- Cigna out of network. Called in, didnt talk to a doctor only answered a questionaire, knowing it was a UTI. Was charged 500.00 facility charge and 500.00 physician charge. So much for telehealth lowering health care costs. This is nuts! Helix Telehealth should be investigated.
