Common questions

How do you find the doctors?

We search provider databases that track which doctors accept Medicare, their addresses, specialties, and whether they are accepting new patients. Results come with names and phone numbers so you can call directly.

Can you find a doctor who speaks my language?

Yes. Tell us the language you prefer and we will filter for providers who speak it.

What if the doctor is not taking new patients?

We always send multiple options. If the first office is full, you have two more to call. Text us back and we will find more.

Try it with your question.

One minute here saves a few rounds of questions later. Your first reply will already know who you're helping and what they need.

Date of birth

Of the person we will be helping.
