My insurance says no providers are available. What do I do?

This is a 'ghost network.' Skip the directory and pay $50 cash for a Ondoc visit — we email a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Then file a directory-error complaint with your state insurance commissioner.

'No providers available' in an insurer's directory rarely means the network is genuinely empty. Senate Finance Committee audits have found 30–80% of provider listings inaccurate — doctors who don't take the plan, aren't accepting patients, or never answer.

Your immediate move is to get care, not to fight the insurer. Ondoc runs $50 visits with state-licensed providers and faxes refills to your pharmacy same business day. We send an itemized superbill (with CPT/ICD codes) you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Then file a ghost-network complaint — first with your insurer's directory-error form, then with your state insurance commissioner, then with CMS at cms.gov/nosurprises for Marketplace or Medicare Advantage plans. The No Surprises Act requires plans to verify directories every 90 days.

Need a refill? Skip the visit.

We fax your pharmacy directly — no appointment, regardless of the doctor who originally prescribed it. Under 24-hour turnaround.
