Doctor On Demand

Doctor On Demand was founded in 2012 as a video-first telehealth platform built around on-demand access to board-certified physicians. Over time, the company expanded its behavioral health capabilities to include licensed therapists and psychiatrists, positioning itself as a full-service mental health telehealth provider alongside its urgent care and primary care services. In 2021, Doctor On Demand merged with Grand Rounds, a health advocacy and expert opinion company, to form Included Health. The combined entity serves employers, health plans, and government programs by integrating clinical telehealth (Doctor On Demand) with health navigation and care coordination (Grand Rounds). For patients, this means Doctor On Demand is often encountered not as a standalone consumer app but as a benefit embedded within an employer's health program — with care navigators who help direct members to the right type of care before scheduling a visit. The psychiatric services include evaluation and ongoing medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood and anxiety conditions. Doctor On Demand psychiatrists can diagnose and treat ADHD and can prescribe non-stimulant medications. They do not prescribe controlled substances, including stimulants such as Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse. The therapy side of the platform includes licensed therapists trained in CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based modalities. Doctor On Demand accepts most insurance plans, and insurance is not required. The platform describes its covered lives count at over 98 million Americans, reflecting both direct employer contracts and health plan partnerships. Without insurance, a first psychiatry visit is $299 for 45 minutes and follow-ups are $129 for 15 minutes. One practical limitation is that Doctor On Demand, like other enterprise telehealth platforms, requires advance scheduling for mental health appointments rather than offering on-demand psychiatry. Wait times for psychiatry are typically a few days to a week. services. In 2021, Doctor On Demand merged with Grand Rounds, a health advocacy and expert opinion company, to form Included Health.
