Doctor On Demand is a healthcare service that provides convenient online access to board-certified doctors, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and psychiatrists from any device with a front-facing camera, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Doctor On Demand providers can treat most common, non-emergency medical issues through live, face-to-face video visits. Our approach to care is all about breaking down the walls of an office and supporting your health wherever you are. Doctor On Demand by Included Health’s US-based, board-certified doctors, nurse practitioners, therapists, and psychiatrists are available on your schedule. Urgent and everyday care visits are available 24/7/365 and mental health care visits such as therapists and psychiatrists need to be booked in advance. A Care Team representative can help with scheduling in network appointments for referrals as necessary.

If you have already seen a specialist and you need to send your records to Doctor On Demand, you can contact Member Support team for assistance either through the messaging tool within the Doctor On Demand app or by calling Doctor On Demand’s support team at 1-800-929-0926. The Doctor On Demand support team is available via phone 24/7. Patients can also message us directly through the app and upload consultation notes from specialists as attachments to the message.

If your treatment includes a prescription, the provider will review the order and confirm your pharmacy during the visit. The provider will then electronically order the prescription, and it will be ready for you to pick up once your pharmacy prepares your medication. You can select your preferred pharmacy anytime in the Doctor On Demand app.

The process for each is similar to what you’d expect when going to see a doctor in person. Here’s how it works:

1. If your Doctor On Demand primary care provider orders imaging for you, they will review their recommendations with you during your visit.
2. Following your visit, you’ll be contacted by a member of our Care Team who will help you find a convenient location within your network for you to get the imaging done.
3. A member of the Care Team will help you schedule any necessary appointments and provide you with documentation to bring with you to the imaging center.
4. Once the imaging center sends results back to Doctor On Demand, the results will be sent to us to review. Your Doctor On Demand primary care provider will then contact you with information about what the results mean and if any further action or follow up is necessary.

During your visit, if the provider thinks a lab test would be beneficial for you, they have the ability to order a lab test. You simply choose the lab location closest to you, have the test run, and the results will be sent to you from Doctor On Demand along with the ordering clinician’s interpretation of the results. All lab work completed at LabCorp or Quest will be ordered electronically and any other lab orders will be submitted via fax.

In the event your Doctor On Demand primary care provider needs to see you regarding your lab results, a member of the Care Team will reach out to coordinate scheduling the visit. The lab results will also be available for you to review under “Me” and then “Lab Tests” in the app.

The process for seeing a specialist or getting a referral is similar to what you’d expect when going to see a doctor in person. Here’s how it works:

1. If your Doctor On Demand primary care provider recommends that you see a specialist or need to see a doctor in person, they will review those recommendations during your visit.
2. The provider’s recommended order will be automatically sent to our Care Team who will follow up with you in a timely manner.
3. You’ll receive a message confirming that your provider has made this recommendation for a referral and that you’ll hear from us soon.
4. A member of the Care Team will contact you with recommendations for nearby, affordable, and high quality providers that are your network. Our care team can help you schedule an appointment or give you the provider’s contact information so you can schedule directly with an in-person clinician.
5. A member of the Care Team will also provide you with any documentation you’ll need to bring to your appointment.
6. After you’ve seen the specialist, your Doctor On Demand primary care provider will review the findings and recommendations, and if needed, will schedule a follow-up appointment for you so that they can review your results and create a treatment plan that’s personalized and appropriate for you.
