I have to say that both the service and the app are incredibly inefficient. My recent experience is illustrative. A simple request required a more than three hour phone call, speaking with five different staff members and waiting on numerous holds. This was followed up by messages in the app requesting information already provided, with exceptional delays, including requiring me to update the software, repeatedly fill out the same unnecessary questionnaire, repeatedly provide personal contact information already there, multiple requests to recreate the backup pin number, and repeated requirements to login again. My time is valuable, and this process is unduly burdensome for anyone, let alone patients fresh out of surgery. It is simply unacceptable. Accolade should be paying me for my time. Do better.
And a postscript: the musical sample that plays over and over again while on hold if you call Accolade has to have been selected to intentionally discourage callers from waiting on hold. The volume range and shrill notes are completely inappropriate.
