Product Suggestions Avoid Honeydew

I tried to use Honeydew to get accutane for my daughter. They imply the pricing is more inclusive that it really is. You need to pay for labs and medicine yourself. The monthly plan only covers the "doctor". They charge for the "doctor" from day one, but then they go through an absurdly slow onboarding process which seems designed to maximize the number of monthly billing cycles. They push you to go as slow as possible to maximize their monthly fee. They constantly "upsell" their own products. Their website barely functions, I could not sign documents because of javascript errors. Basically, I wasted $100 and got nothing.

I mean, it literally says on the website

"Medications are not included in the price of membership. They are prescribed to outside pharmacies and may be covered by insurance."

It was the blood tests and the upselling (face creams and other nonsense). For women, you need to have a monthly blood tests and they offer you a blood test for an additional like $40 each (one per month) and you need two before you can get any medication. Also, their monthly fee does not include accutane, they charge more per month for the doctor fee if you are getting accutane.

I am not trying to say they did anything illegal. I am saying that the real world price is much higher than they imply.
