Frequently Asked Questions

How does Ohla work?

How does the online visit process work?

From the home page click on the “Start a Visit” button, or open the Ohla widget on the bottom right of your screen. From here select the service you’re looking for, and complete our quick survey so we can gather the required information to complete your visit.

Your responses are reviewed by a licensed medical provider assigned to you. In some cases, a follow up via call, text, or video chat may be required. If that is the case you’ll be reached to by the physician rendering your care.

If your consult results in a prescription, the prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy.

How long will the medical review take?

Review times can vary depending on the service you need, but we strive to review all submissions within 24 business hours (and and in most cases much quicker than that!)

All visits are performed by licensed medical professionals who review your responses and create the most appropriate treatment plans based on the information provided.
