#teladoc — Public Fediverse posts

Anyone else having issues with CVS and perscriptions from Teladoc lately? CVS wouldn't fulfill my perscription today because of a "license issue" with my prescriber. Called Teladoc and they told me CVS's computer system is buggy. Got my perscription transferred to a Walgreens and they filled it no problem. #meds #teladoc #telemedicine #medicine #cvs

Teladoc bug is preventing me from scheduling any appointments in 2024. When I select a specific time of day, the year of the selected date changes to 2023. #softwaregore #bug #bugs #iOS #teladoc

Welp, I’m retracting my previous wholehearted recommendation of #Teladoc, because when I called them today after my positive test (boo!) I got a different doctor, and was told I couldn’t get #Paxlovid because I hadn’t had a recent kidney function test.

Who the fuck is out here getting routine kidney function tests? Nobody gets their kidneys tested unless there’s a problem with them. 🤬

Anyhow, the upside I guess is that I don’t have to bother masking in the house anymore. 🙃

If you get #covid and your regular doc doesn’t want to give you #Paxlovid for some reason, but your insurance company or employer contracts with #Teladoc, call them instead.

I’m picking up a scrip for my husband this afternoon, no hassle whatsoever (this is after his PCP said she wouldn’t write a scrip because pharmacists would want a kidney function test before filling it).

TITLE: More on BetterHelp Settlement

I believe this has a bit more information in it than the earlier
report.  The fine is still "proposed", but:

-- BetterHelp agrees with the settlement
-- BetterHelp is banned under the settlement from continuing to share
customer health data for marketing purposes
-- BetterHelp continued to do this even after being purchased by Teladoc
-- BetterHelp denies there is anything wrong with what they did and
assert that **its standard industry practice**.
