How does 98point6 handle prescriptions and lab tests?
98point6 providers can and do prescribe medications when they are appropriate. If a prescription is part of your treatment plan, we’ll send it electronically to your preferred pharmacy. 98point6 does not prescribe controlled substances (such as opioids) or lifestyle medications (such as Viagra and Propecia).
If a 98point6 provider determines that lab work is necessary, they will order a lab test. Once ordered, simply visit a nearby LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics or preferred lab location and when your results are ready, we will reach out to walk you through your results.
How do eligible dependents register for and use 98point6?
Dependents ages 18 years and older: Download the 98point6 app on their mobile device through the App Store or Google Play, sign in using their mobile phone number and create a profile. They will then be able to accept coverage through the primary subscriber’s employer and will be asked to confirm the last four digits of their SSN for verification. Once registered, they may start a visit right away.
Dependents ages 1-17 years old: Care for children ages 1-17 years old must be requested by a parent or legal guardian who is eligible for 98point6. In order to receive care, the child must also be eligible for 98point6 through the parent or guardian’s plan.
A NOTE ABOUT PRIVACY: Rest assured, your text-based visit is private. We are deeply committed to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of our patients’ personal information. As a medical provider, 98point6 is HIPAA compliant, and we are compliant with privacy and security laws in each state in which we operate.

Does 98point6 support languages other than English?
Yes, 98point6 offers support for other languages during a visit. Providers are supported by interpreters in over 350 languages who connect with the patient via audio within the app to assist with your medical evaluation. Other parts of the 98point6 experience, including the Automated Assistant and your Care Plan, are currently only available in English.
How do I request care for my child?
If your child is eligible for 98point6*, care for children ages 1-17 years old must be requested by a parent or legal guardian eligible for 98point6. In order to receive care, the child must also be eligible for 98point6 through the parent or guardian’s plan.
To request care for your child, begin a visit as you normally would. A list of your eligible dependents ages 1-17 will appear. Select who you’re seeking care for, and complete the child’s profile.
Next, the automated assistant will gather information about the child’s symptoms, then will deliver the information to one of 98point6’s board-certified physicians. The physician will have a text-based conversation with you about your child’s symptoms, using audio, video or photos as needed. For younger children (i.e., under age 5), the physician will likely request a brief video encounter.
More information about pediatric visits can be found in our general FAQs.
