Provider Quality

Our provider match engine contains 200+ quality models. These models consider a wide variety of factors influencing clinical quality, including:

  • Safety: Does the provider practice medicine in the top of their field with a demonstrated adherence to national clinically-validated standards of care and prevention? For example:
    • Adherence with national standards of care – how closely does this provider adhere to national clinically-validated standards of care and prevention?
    • Has this provider been sanctioned by state medical boards?
  • Effectiveness: Do the provider’s methods resolve the member’s clinical need? For example:
    • Outcomes – how often do this provider’s patients have good clinical outcomes? How often do their patients have to re-do care or experience complications?
    • Patient retention and adherence – how often do this provider’s patients stay with the provider over the long term? How likely are their patients to complete their treatment plans?
  • Efficiency: Does the provider avoid wasteful and unnecessary treatments? For example: 
    • How often does this provider over-use testing, prescriptions, etc. when they are not necessary?
  • Price: Does the provider charge a fair and reasonable fee? For example:
    • Does the provider charge prices that are fair for their local area?  

Included Health applies quality models to a provider based on their specialty as well as the types of conditions they treat and procedures they perform. Included Health filters out physicians and mental health providers who have been sanctioned. For other non-physician provider types and facilities, Included Health applies distance based models. 

Specifically for our Communities vetted providers, the hand-vetting process looks for very specific criteria when determining if a provider can be indicated as culturally competent  for LGBTQ+ and/or Black members. For LGTBQ+ friendly providers, these criteria include:

  • Assessing the provider and their patient-facing support staff’s use of pronouns
  • Whether the office has a gender-neutral bathroom and staff who identify as or look like members we would be referring
  • Clinicians’ knowledge of PrEP, specific gender-affirming surgeries, or practice of including critical preventative screenings in annual wellness exams

To evaluate whether providers have experience in the Black community, these criteria include:

  • Evaluating the office for their enthusiasm in supporting the Black community and their comfort discussing race as a determinant of health
  • Seeing  if the office has staff who are diverse and identify as or look like members whom we would be referring
  • Assessing whether the provider and their patient-facing support staff have clinical experience addressing chronic conditions more common among members of the Black community, such as diabetes and heart disease

Members are able to refine their search based on their specific needs. Examples of this are:

  • Searching for providers that perform a specific procedure or treat a specific condition 
  • Filtering the search results on distance, language or gender

In some cases, highly narrow filters may impact the number of providers we have available to show for a given search. In other cases, the inherent filtering we do on network status and provider quality may also impact the number of providers we have available to show for a given search. Upon request, Included Health can also help you search for out-of-network providers. For more detail and to get started contact the Included Health care team by visiting includedhealth.com/wf or calling 833-200-7683.

Beyond provider quality, Included Health also considers convenience (distance from the member, new patient availability) and cost (network status, billed amounts) when ranking providers in provider match. Included Health also always filters out providers who have been sanctioned by a medical board. In some cases, such as when searching for a primary provider, Included Health will also personalize the list of providers based on the member’s health history – so, for example, if the member has a chronic condition like diabetes, Included Health will make sure they get a doctor with expertise treating that condition.

When searching for providers using Included Health, you will only see in-network providers as default. As provider networks can change regularly, Included Health suggests checking with the provider when members schedule the visit to confirm network status. 

If you select “my insurance is not listed” in the self-serve tool, Included Health will show all relevant providers based on quality and location, including those who are out of network.

Members of the Included Health care team can also help you find a provider, including finding in- or out-of-network providers based on your unique needs. For more detail and to get started contact the Included Health care team by visiting includedhealth.com/wf or calling 833-200-7683.

No, Included Health’s provider recommendations are ranked solely on quality models that rank their ability to deliver the best outcomes for patients. Patient reviews are difficult to quantify and frequently lack additional clinical context that is critical to evaluating the quality and appropriateness of the care they deliver. We provide links to patient reviews where available to help members get a deeper understanding of some of the subjective criteria that go into choosing a provider, but review data is not incorporated into ranking algorithms. 

Virtual Medical Care

Included Health’s team of providers are US-based and board-certified providers, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who have on average 18 years of experience. They come from a variety of backgrounds and specialties and have an average patient rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars on our app. Our caring providers are trained on best practices for providing care online, and take the time to get to know you and find out what’s most important to you.

The Healthcare Professionals who deliver services through Included Health are part of a group known as “Doctor On Demand Professionals.” This group is part of Included Health. In claims and billing related to the virtual care we provide to you, you may see “Doctor On Demand” appear as the vendor. For any questions related to claims or billing, contact Included Health by visiting includedhealth.com/wf or calling 833-200-7683.

Yes, Included Health services are available for children of any age as well, including urgent care and mental health care. However, Included Health does not offer pediatric well-child visits because these visits require growth and developmental measurements as well as vaccine administration. Find a high-quality pediatrician for well-child visits using the Included Health app or connecting with a member of the care team. 

While dependents 13 years and older can create their own Included Health accounts, the adult who is the insurance holder must book and be present at the beginning of any virtual visit for children under the age of 18. To learn more or schedule a visit visit includedhealth.com/wf. You can also message the care team by using the Included Health app or by calling 833-200-7683.

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 Included Health app. Depending on the type of prescription, you might also be able to receive refills. For questions, concerns, or issues with your prescription, you can always contact the care team for support by sending them a message in the Included Health app, by visiting includedhealth.com/wf, or by calling 833-200-7683.

During your visit, if the provider thinks a lab test would be beneficial for you, they can order a lab test. You simply visit the lab location, have the specimen collected, and the results will be sent to you from Included Health within ten business days.

After your visit, your visit summary will include a reminder to schedule your next appointment if your Included Health provider needs to see you regarding your lab results. The Included Health care team may also contact you to schedule your next visit. The lab results will also be available for you to review under “My Health” in the 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:

If your Included Health provider orders imaging for you, they will review their recommendations with you during your visit.

Following your visit, you’ll be contacted by a member of  the Included Health care team who will help you find an affordable and convenient location within your plan network for you to get the imaging done.

A member of the Included Health care team will help you schedule any necessary appointments and provide you with documentation to bring with you to the imaging center.

Once the imaging center generates a report with the results, the results will be sent to us to review. Your primary care provider will then contact you with information about what the results mean and if any further action or follow up is necessary.

Your Included Health doctor will provide a recommendation, then a member of the care team will help refer you to a nearby provider and, with your permission, provide your documentation to the provider’s office. The Included Health care team can also share your documentation for you to bring to your appointment.

Yes, you can use Included Health in all 50 states + Washington DC.

What happens if I need to get an X-ray, CT-scan, MRI or other “imaging?”

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

If your Included Health provider orders imaging for you, they will review their recommendations with you during your visit.

Following your visit, you’ll be contacted by a member of  the Included Health care team who will help you find an affordable and convenient location within your plan network for you to get the imaging done.

A member of the Included Health care team will help you schedule any necessary appointments and provide you with documentation to bring with you to the imaging center.

Once the imaging center generates a report with the results, the results will be sent to us to review. Your primary care provider will then contact you with information about what the results mean and if any further action or follow up is necessary.

Virtual Mental Health Care

Schedule an appointment for the next available provider or with your preferred provider at a time that works for you. Appointments are typically available up to five (5) weeks in advance. You will also be able to filter for providers based on focus areas and read bios and learn about Included Health providers prior to scheduling the visit to ensure you are able to select a provider who is right for you. When it’s time for your visit, you’ll connect face-to-face via video in the Included Health app from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. During the first visit, you will discuss the ongoing visit cadence that will be right for you. 

The providers at Included Health include psychologists and psychiatrists who have an average 18 years of experience. They are clinical experts in a variety of different specialties, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and more. You can easily browse providers, see their photos, and read their bios to find the perfect match. Each of our providers will work with you to set a plan and help you achieve the goals most important to you. 

Included Health psychologists and therapists use talk therapy or techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you talk through your problems. psychiatrists, who are physicians, may use medication to treat your symptoms. Psychologists and psychiatrists both have doctoral degrees, usually a PhD or PsyD for psychologists and an MD or DO for psychiatrists. Masters level therapists have masters degrees in social work (LCSW), counseling (LPC), or family and marital counseling (LMFT). If you aren’t sure where to start, you can schedule an appointment with a therapist, consult your primary care provider, or contact the Included Health care team with any questions by sending them a message in the Included Health app, by visiting includedhealth.com/wf, or by calling 833-200-7683.

The first appointment you have will likely consist of your mental health provider asking a lot of questions to get to know you. Typical questions providers ask in the first session can include questions to get to know your background and family life, as well as how any symptoms impact your life. Additionally, you may be encouraged to share your reasons for seeking care at this time. These questions help providers understand what you’ve been struggling with and help identify what your goals may be in treatment. Pre-visit intake questions and assessment scores are reviewed by providers in advance of your first appointment and can help that first visit go more smoothly. 

Included Health Psychiatrists, who are physicians, may work with you to use medication to treat your symptoms. Sometimes a combination of therapy and medication works best. In that case, you can see a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for talk therapy. If you are not sure, start with a therapist who can help you figure out what treatment may be best for you. Please note that there are certain limitations as to which medications Included Health psychiatrists can prescribe. Any medication that has a DEA Schedule I-V (for example, Ativan, Klonopin, Ritalin, and Adderall) may require an in-person visit. Contact the Included Health care team with any questions by sending them a message in the Included Health app, by visiting includedhealth.com/wf, or by calling 833-200-7683.

Included Health mental health providers are able to complete documentation such as FMLA or other disability paperwork. Completion of paperwork requests is at the provider’s discretion, and you may be asked to have other visits in advance of any paperwork being completed so that a full picture of your clinical functioning can be ascertained. Other examples of documentation our providers can complete include accommodation requests, excuse notes, documentation of diagnosis and return to work notes.

What will my doctor think about Included Health reviewing my case?

Most doctors are glad to get the opinions of their peers when assessing complicated medical issues. Their primary goal is to make sure you get the right care and support for your needs. A good way to frame a conversation with your treating physician regarding an Included Health second expert medical opinion is:

  • “I requested a consultation about [condition] and here’s what I learned…”
  • “Here’s what I was surprised to find out…”
  • “Dr. Smith recommended these options for my care because of these reasons…”

Treating physicians are generally enthusiastic about receiving guidance from the top medical experts in their fields.

Additionally, we help bridge communication between patients  and their treating physicians in a number of ways, provided that the patient has given us  permission to do so. Our Care team will send a summary explanation of our services and, upon request, provide updates to your treating physician on the progress of the case. Members can invite their treating physician to participate on their Care Team through their online dashboard. This will enable the treating physician to review patient records, participate in discussions that occur in the message center, and view the written opinion report.

A request can be initiated through the Included Health portal or app where you’ll be prompted to sign a consent form to collect medical records and proceed with the expert review. A physician or care team member will reach out to discuss your request after the consent form is signed. As soon as medical records are collected, the expert will review the records and after completing their review, you will receive a written report, which will include the expert’s medical opinion on your diagnosis and treatment plan and an electronic copy of any medical records collected.

You can request a second expert medical opinion through the Included Health member portal or app. Here’s what to expect after submitting a request:

  1. Sign a consent form to collect your medical records.
  2. A physician or member of the Included Health care team  will reach out to discuss your request and make sure we have everything we need to get started.
  3. Once we have collected your medical records, an expert will review your case.
  4. A written report will be created, which will include the expert’s medical opinion on your diagnosis and treatment plan and an electronic copy of any medical records collected.
