Notifications are a mess
When chats get long, the app will randomly open up to a message MONTHS in the past, forcing me to scroll all the way down to the present. There’s no “skip to latest” either. And the scroll is janky.
This causes me to miss messages from providers.
Also the constant canned “auto responses” whenever I send any message is so annoying. I can’t tell if it’s from a human. Sometimes it’s obvious I’m just responding to a provider/nurse but I get the full “hi I’m <random customer support person> let me review your convo history” “oh I’ll send this message along” “is there anything else I can help you with?” 3 spam messages almost anytime I message anyone.
This makes the chat unbearable when messaging actual Included Health staff or nurses which is the ONLY way to get in touch with them normally.
Make it stop. Seriously.
Also the second opinions and “find an expert/provider” services are extremely unreliable. More often than not the second opinion experts don’t fully answer my questions. I’ve only had one good experience with the second opinion. Please find better experts.
As for the “finding an expert/provider” this is also hit or miss, sometimes the clinic/provider they give me doesn’t even offer the services I’ve asked for. Other times it’s spot on, like a 30% success rate.
Please give us the ability to rate the provider found or the person we got an expert opinion from.
Didn't think my condition was serious
So convenient
Terrible service that adds no value
Basic functionality is broken or missing. The link to request an insurance ID card just dumps you into the Messages section. We tried their provider recommendation service and received exactly one recommendation — a doctor more than two hours away.
And even when the portal is technically working, it’s so bare-bones that it’s barely useful. There’s no meaningful search functionality for claims, no useful prior authorization status screen, and very little that I can’t get more reliably by going directly to my health plan.
I genuinely don’t understand what value Included Health is supposed to provide. It has added another unnecessary layer between us and our health insurance while doing a worse job of presenting the information. Terrible service and completely unnecessary.
Saved me a doctor visit!!
She also warned me to watch my A-fib and blood sugar call back if no improvement in 3 days for antibiotics.
I am very happy.
