FAQ

Questions you might have

It's care for the things that come up suddenly but aren't emergencies: a UTI, pinkeye, a rash, a sinus infection. Instead of driving to a clinic and waiting, you start a conversation with August from your phone, and connect with a licensed doctor if you need one.

You tell August how you're feeling in plain words. August asks a few gentle follow-up questions to understand your symptoms, then helps you decide what to do next. If a doctor would help, we match you with one licensed in your state. August is your companion through it, not a replacement for the doctor.

Reviewing your symptoms with August is always free. If you choose to see a doctor, it's a flat $39 per visit. No membership, no subscription, and no surprise bills.

August gets you a board-certified MD based in the U.S for online doctor visits. They have a valid and unrestricted license to practice in 50 U.S. states + DC and with no significant adverse professional action against the doctor's medical license. For your online doctor visits on August, you will be able to see doctors National Provider Identifier (NPI) and other credentials.

You can join with your smartphone, tablet or laptop that has an internet connection. The online doctor visits on August are asynchronous and chat-based. So, you do not have to switch your video camera or mic on. No waiting lines, no commute, and no time-off from work.

Yes, when it's appropriate. A visit doesn't guarantee a prescription. Whether medication is right for you is always the clinician's professional judgment. For safety, controlled substances can't be prescribed through a virtual visit.

Your health information is protected with HIPAA-grade security, and we never sell your data. Your conversations with August stay yours.

August's virtual urgent care is available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. We'll always match you with a clinician licensed where you are.

Virtual urgent care isn't for emergencies. If you're experiencing chest pain, trouble breathing, severe bleeding, signs of a stroke, sudden confusion, or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room right away.

No. The flat $39 visit is the same with or without insurance, so there's nothing to verify and no claims to chase.
