Search gives everyone the same results. AskMD gives you guidance based on you: your question, your health history, and your coverage. Instead of a list of links and worst-case scenarios, you get calm, clear next steps, like which kind of care fits your situation and which in-network doctors can help.
If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away. AskMD is not designed to manage emergencies. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time.
Yes. AskMD is free to use, whether you come to it on your own or through your employer, health plan, or another program. Identity verification with CLEAR is completely free too; it is not the same as a paid CLEAR membership, and you never need to pay anything to verify.
No. AskMD is not a diagnostic tool, and it does not replace your doctor. It helps you understand what may be going on and what to do about it, like learning what your symptoms can sometimes be related to or identifying the type of specialist to see. For diagnosis and treatment, always consult a licensed medical professional.
No, and it is not meant to be. AskMD helps you understand your health and navigate your care. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace a licensed medical professional. Decisions about diagnosis and treatment always belong with you and your doctor.
AskMD is your personal health guide from Sharecare. Start with your question, asked in your own words, and AskMD helps you understand what is happening, what to do next, and where to go. Along the way, it can find doctors who accept your coverage, compare prescription prices, and keep your health records together in one place.
