Medefy simplifies your healthcare experience and saves you money in these great ways, all by chatting with a Care Guide or choosing from the in-app menu:
You can connect with a Care Guide anytime, day or night, 24/7. Log into the Medefy App and choose “Chat with a Care Guide” to start a private chat with a live human Care Guide. Ask about finding a provider, medication and care coverage, and more.
You can find in-network providers by opening the app's home screen and tapping “Find a Doctor or Facility.” A Care Guide will reply within 60 seconds or less and match you with high-quality, low-cost care.
Yes. Employees and dependents 18 years and older can have their own account.
Share the app with your dependents 18+ by going to your profile page and tapping “Invite Dependents.” Enter your dependent’s email address to send them an invitation.
For privacy reasons, we recommend that each member who is 18+ years old has a personal account.
Due to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations, any covered dependent 18+ is considered an adult, and their health information is protected unless they give explicit consent. If your dependent wishes to share their health information with you, they can complete a HIPAA release form that permits us to discuss protected health information with you.
Use digital cards instead of physical cards whenever you need to provide your insurance information. Your HR team will upload your cards to the digital wallet when they sign you up for the Medefy App. Here’s how it works:
Yes. From the “My Insurance Cards” screen, select the card you want to share from the top navigation by swiping left or right and following these steps:
Yes. Tap “My Health Benefits” on the home screen menu to view deductible and OOP information, including how much you’ve spent towards both.
Select “Documents Center” on the home screen to view your benefits summaries.
Yes. Chats that are over 90 days old and closed will be archived. But if you start a new chat thread, a Care Guide can reopen previous chats.
We help you save by connecting you with your plan’s low-cost care options. Picking the right facility can save you thousands of dollars on procedures like MRIs or surgery. We also help you identify zero-cost options, like preventive care visits and flu vaccines.
If you receive a medical bill that isn’t clear, send it to us, and we can review it to ensure you’re never overpaying.
If telemedicine is part of your company’s benefits offerings, when you log in to the Medefy App, you’ll see an option for “Virtual Care” or “Talk with a Doctor.” From there, you’ll find contact information for your telemedicine provider or an option to call them directly from the app.
You can contact support by going to the “Profile” button on the bottom menu of the Medefy App and clicking on “Contact Support.” You’ll fill out a brief form (full legal name, email, and description of your issue), and our support team will contact you to help.
Tap “My Other Benefits” in the home screen menu to access all your benefits information.
Yes. All medical records and in-app messages are securely stored, adhering to strict HIPAA standards.
