Mental Health

Program and Eligibility

What is the MedGrocer Mental Health Program?

MedGrocer offers its Mental Health Program to corporate clients to augment their mental health initiatives for their employees. Under the Program, you can engage with mental health professionals via teleconsults on a 24/7 appointment-based schedule. Depending on MedGrocer’s arrangements with your employer, the Program may also include wellness surveys, lectures, periodic check-ups, medicine delivery, and other services.

Can I use the services offered under the Program?

Active employees of MedGrocer’s corporate clients are generally eligible for the Program, subject to the terms and conditions of the service contract entered into. You will know you are eligible if you received notice from your employer about the existence of the Program.


We may check your eligibility at any time by asking for certain information such as but not limited to employee ID or work email.

Until when can I avail of the services?

The Program and its services are co-terminus with a service contract entered into between MedGrocer and your employer. Please check with your HR or send us an email to inquire about when the services will end.

Can I transfer eligibility to another person?

Eligibility may not be transferred. Only active employees of MedGrocer’s corporate clients are eligible for the Program - dependents such as parents, children, siblings, and spouses are not eligible. Former employees are likewise not eligible.

Teleconsultations

When can teleconsultations be scheduled?

Upon booking, you will be asked what your preferred schedule is. Teleconsultation schedules are available 24/7, subject to slot availability.

I already consult a mental health professional regularly. Can I still go on sessions with MedGrocer’s mental health professionals?

Yes, you may still request to go on teleconsultation sessions even if you are currently seeing another mental health professional.

Will I be able to select my mental health professional?

Your case goes through a triage process based on your personal situation, and your preferred schedule. You will be assigned a mental health professional that best suits your needs. For follow-up sessions, you may request to talk to a different mental health professional if this is your preference for any reason.

Feedback

I did not like how my assigned mental health professional conducted my session. Can I be assigned to a different one for my follow-up teleconsultations?

Yes. You may request to talk to a different mental health professional if this is your preference for any reason. Even if your mental health professional conducted your session well, you can still request to talk to someone else. It is important that you are comfortable during your sessions; some people, for example, prefer talking to someone of the same gender.


Please provide feedback on how your session went through the post-consultation feedback form and do not hesitate to explicitly request to to talk to a different mental health professional for future sessions. This will be confidential and its results will not be seen by your mental health professional.

Other Questions

Do I have to pay for each teleconsultation?

No. As long as you are eligible based on the parameters described above, the service is free for you. We may check your eligibility at any time by asking for certain information such as but not limited to employee ID or work email.

Can my medication be prescribed through teleconsults?

Yes. If your session is with a psychiatrist, you may be prescribed medication. Your prescription may be issued electronically subject to existing guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration.

Why can’t I avail of services under the Program?

You may not be able to avail of the services under the Program only in the following circumstances:

  1. If the Program has ended
  2. If you are not eligible
  3. If you were previously eligible but your eligibility was revoked
The Program is designed to create a positive environment for everyone’s mental wellbeing. We may revoke your eligibility if there are intentional and recurring efforts on your part to disrupt this, such as but not limited to: abusing the services, missing teleconsultations, harassing mental health professionals, suggesting that mental health professionals engage in unethical or illegal acts, and unreasonably triggering emergency processes.
In all instances, we will exert reasonable efforts to communicate with you and your employer. For any further questions, please contact us directly.
