LEMONAID Health Company Overview

Lemonaid Health claims that they are here to provide everyone with convenient and affordable healthcare – whether they have medical insurance or not.

They were founded in 2013 by Ian Van Every (President), Jason Hwang (Chief Medical Officer), and Paul Johnson (CEO). Lemonaid Health is based in San Francisco and is backed by LMNS Medical Group Inc.

Using a telemedicine system, Lemonaid Health aims to provide their patients with same-day online consultations with board-certified doctors. They guarantee a response within two hours, can deliver medication to a nearby pharmacy (or directly to your front door, depending on the treatment), and everyone can access Lemonaid via their smartphone.

How Does Lemonaid Health Work?

Lemonaid Health can be accessed in the following ways:

1. Via a web browser,

3. An iOS app downloaded from the App Store

Using any of the methods, patients using Lemonaid Health can access the following services:

• Online consultation with a doctor or nurse

• Same-day lab tests

• Prescription delivery to a pharmacy or their front door

To get started, visit the Lemonaid website or open the app and click on the particular service you need, followed by the Start Visit button.

Next, you will be asked a few general health questions covering your medical history, the symptoms you are currently suffering from, any medication that you may already be on, etc. The patient must then post a selfie, photo ID, and any pics to help the doctor or nurse make a diagnosis. The patient will also need to authorize a $25 payment to Lemonaid Health for the consultation on their credit card.

Depending on which state the patient is from, a live video consultation could be required in place of photos, allowing the doctor/nurse to be as accurate as possible with their diagnosis. The video consultation takes place as soon as you submit your visit.

Suppose the patient has completed all of the above steps during business hours (Monday to Friday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST and Saturday to Sunday: 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST). In that case, a Lemonaid Health medical practitioner will review and respond within 2 hours. If it is after hours, the patient can expect a response with 24 hours.

If the patient qualifies for a prescription, they have the medication sent to one of Lemonaid Health’s physical pharmacy partners, have the prescription filled and collected from any pharmacy in the US or, medicines for hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and birth control can be delivered right to their door for free.
