Who are the providers on ALC One?

We have one of the largest networks of counselors and physicians in the nation to ensure convenient care anywhere. A thorough review of medical licensure, training, education, work and malpractice history is performed every two years by a national third-party credentialing agency in accordance with the National Committee for Quality Assurance and the Utilization Review Accreditation Committee guidelines. With an average of 15 years of behavioral health, internal medicine, family practice or pediatrics experience, you can rest assured each physician is properly licensed in your state, board-certified and verified by the National Physician Data Base and the American Medical Association. All intake counselors are Master-Level Clinicians.

Can a doctor on ALC One prescribe medication?

Yes, if a physician recommends medication as part of your treatment plan, the prescription will be digitally sent to the local pharmacy of your choice.

Please note that although a physician can prescribe appropriate medications to treat your condition such as antibiotics, antihistamines, and maintenance medicines, our physicians do not prescribe lifestyle drugs, medications regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency or those that pose a potential for abuse or addiction.

Can a doctor on ALC One order a prescription refill?

Our experienced psychiatrists and doctors on ALC One will thoroughly review your health history and evaluate whether a prescription refill is a safe and appropriate course of action at the moment. In some cases, they may determine that an in-person visit with your primary care physician is necessary.

It's important to note that the decision to approve a prescription refill, as well as the quantity prescribed, is solely at the discretion of the doctor. To facilitate this process, please provide any relevant information about your health history and current condition, such as recent lab test results or blood pressure readings. Your doctor will use this information to make the most informed and suitable decision for your healthcare needs.

Can I get a sick slip or doctor's note from ALC One?

Certainly! If it's deemed appropriate during your consultation, the doctor can provide you with a sick slip or a doctor's note. This document will be securely uploaded to your ALC One account for your convenience. You can access it by navigating to 'My Account' and then selecting 'My Documents.'

In case you encounter any difficulties while attempting to print the note from a mobile device, you can alternatively log in via the desktop version to access and print it directly. We aim to make managing your healthcare as convenient as possible.

What should I do if I am experiencing a medical emergency?

If you find yourself in the midst of a medical emergency, please do not hesitate to call 911. Telehealth is not suitable for addressing urgent or life-threatening situations, and your safety is our top priority. Seek immediate assistance from trained medical professionals by dialing 911.
