FAQ
Plain answers.
Which Medi-Cal plans do you accept?
TalkDoc currently works with Alameda Alliance for Health, San Francisco Health Plan, Central California Alliance for Health, and Contra Costa Health Plan. Your county, service needs, capacity, and plan rules also affect eligibility.
Is care really $0?
Covered visits are $0 for many eligible members with qualifying Medi-Cal plans. Authorizations, referrals, network status, and other plan rules still apply.
How soon can I be seen?
Many people receive a first video appointment within about a week when capacity is available. Timing depends on coverage, location, needs, and open appointments. We do not promise a specific date.
Will AI diagnose or treat me?
No. Your treating clinician makes diagnosis and treatment decisions. Only appropriately licensed prescribers make medication decisions. AI has a limited support role only.
Is TalkDoc an emergency service?
TalkDoc is not an emergency service. If you are thinking about hurting yourself or someone else, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911.
