Where can I register for CloseKnit?

While registration is not required to visit a CloseKnit practice, you can register here or you can download the CloseKnit app in the App Store or Google Play. Once registered, you can message your Care Team directly, pay your bills, and schedule appointments. 

Is there a cost associated with registering?

No. Registration is free.

Who can register? And are there any eligibility requirements?

If you are 18 years of age or older you are eligible to register.

Once registered, parents and legal guardians can book certain types of visits for their covered dependents (age 2-17) by selecting “My Dependent” when setting up an immediate care, behavioral health, or nutrition visit.

What do I do when I need to see someone?

There are a few ways you can see a CloseKnit provider. You can visit one of our locations here, book a visit via phone, book a visit using our online appointment tool, or book a visit by emailing hello@closeknit.com.

How do I pay for CloseKnit services?

You will use your traditional health coverage to pay for services, just like you do at other medical providers. You can set up your preferred method of payment through a credit card, debit card, HSA or FSA debit card.

How do I know my information is safe and secure?

We take the security of your information very seriously. That’s why we comply with all standards required by law, including HIPAA, HITECH, security protocols and safeguarding information using proper protections.

Why choose CloseKnit over other telehealth providers?

CloseKnit offer hybrid care, which includes in-person and virtual visits. Most telehealth providers address immediate and urgent clinical needs that are typically “one and done”. CloseKnit, however, provides a whole health solution that includes primary care, urgent care, behavioral health, nutrition services and new parent support. With CloseKnit, you get an entire Care Team to address your healthcare goals to help you live your happiest, healthiest life. That means we’re with you for the long haul.

What if I’m unhappy with your service?

Please tell us by emailing hello@closeknit.com. We will work to make it right. 

Can I leave CloseKnit at any time?

Yes. If we’re not a good fit, we can help you find a participating provider who is. After all, this isn’t about us—it’s about you.

Can I use the virtual immediate care service if I am outside the United States?

Only individuals located in the 50 states and Washington, D.C. can use the CloseKnit virtual urgent care service. It is not available to individuals outside of the United States.

What do I do if I have technical problems during my virtual urgent care visit?

If you have technical issues during your visit, contact our support team at 866-233-6925, option 6.

How can I give feedback about my virtual care visit?

We love to hear from you. If you have feedback, you can email us at hello@closeknit.com.
