## Accolade Reviews
  ### 1. Accolade makes healthcare easier

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Accolade?**

Accolade makes healthcare easier to navigate by providing personalized support, cost transparency, and AI-driven insights. Employees get access to dedicated health assistants and nurses who help with finding doctors, understanding benefits, and managing claims. For employers, it helps reduce healthcare costs by guiding employees to in-network providers and avoiding unnecessary expenses. The platform also integrates with health plans, telemedicine, and wellness programs, creating a seamless benefits experience. It’s a great solution for companies looking to improve healthcare access while controlling costs.

**What do you dislike about Accolade?**

Accolade, while offering valuable healthcare navigation services, can sometimes feel overly complex and impersonal due to its reliance on AI-driven interactions before reaching a human representative. Users may experience delays in getting direct answers, and the platform’s integration with employer healthcare plans can lead to inconsistencies in coverage explanations. Additionally, the service's effectiveness heavily depends on the quality of employer-provided data, which can sometimes result in frustration if benefits are not clearly communicated or accurately reflected.

**What problems is Accolade solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accolade takes the headache out of dealing with healthcare and benefits. Instead of spending hours trying to figure out insurance plans, billing issues, or finding the right doctor, you get a go-to resource that makes everything easier. They connect you with real people who can break things down in simple terms and help you get the most out of your benefits. It’s like having a personal guide for all the confusing parts of healthcare, so you can spend less time on hold and more time focusing on what actually matters—your health and well-being.

  ### 2. It does what it says it will do

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Accolade?**

Accolade helped me find healthcare providers that were supported by my insurance policy.  It was quick and effective in find what I was truly looking for.  I used it a hand full of times, but I never really had a hard time using it when I did.  I also enjoyed having access to a live person through customer support if I needed it.

**What do you dislike about Accolade?**

The only real downside I found was that I couldn't truly find all of the answers I needed when it came to what my insurance covered.  There was one occasion in particular that I was told to call my insurance to get a direct answer, because Accolade didn't have access to that information for me.

**What problems is Accolade solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accolade was able to assist myself and others with concerns regarding healthcare related problems.

  ### 7. Exceptional provider and has made my life easier

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brittany Q. | Civil Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Accolade?**

Accolade has helped link me to a ton of other resources like Hinge health, telehealth, etc. I can't imagine what I would do without telehealth because if not for it, I would have needed several very expensive ER visits just to get antibiotic prescriptions. I am so thankful for this resource and for my employer partnering with them.

**What do you dislike about Accolade?**

It is a bit difficult to know exactly what resources there are unless you're constantly checking their emails and website updates. I think in general, they're pretty great but in order to get the most benefits, people need to fully understand what the provider can do for the their members and check out their site directly.

**Recommendations to others considering Accolade:**

Definetely partner with Accolade if you are a large organization. They have representatives that are reachable and very very kind. As an individual in a large company, I don't feel ignored when I reach out to the representative and am treated as a member where my needs are looked at individually.

**What problems is Accolade solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Emergency room visits during Covid times would be unthinkably scary. I have had issues where I know I need antibiotics or an over the counter prescription and I know the cause. Linking me with Telehealth and their on call resources have saved me extreme amounts of time, stress, and physical pain since I can get prescriptions faster than before.

  ### 8. Very nice!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Accolade?**

I like that are live chats  available from morning until evening to assist in answering any question I may have about any of the benefits I am enrolled  in and COVID-19 questions and screenings.

**What do you dislike about Accolade?**

There really isn't too much to dislike on the Accolade App. If I had to pick one thing to change, I like to be able to make adjustments to my answers to the Covid-19 daily screenings.

**What problems is Accolade solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accolade has many benefits from increasing easy of access to benefit information to managing  and the confusion of Covid and safety. Any additional confusion can be cleared up by asking a question through live chat.

  ### 9. It’s quick and easy. The help center support is very friendly and they get back to you quickly.
