There is no way to get a hold of this company. I have tried multiple times through the Internet and phone. The phone answers as Athena healthcare. I need to reach them.

Double billed for my epocrates subscription

Good Morning: I have been a Epocrates subscriber for many years as

Both a student and physician. Yesterday 6/3/25 I received a unrecognized charge on my AMEX card from

Epocrates of purchase to APPLE.COM/BILL for amount of $224.99.

I checked my Mastercard account and saw I paid and it cleared to your organization on 12/26/24 for my annual subscription and paid you the amount of $192.59 which cleared this card and no problems. I checked past years using this card as payment history NO problems. After calling Apple Support they suggested you refund my Mastercard Acct instead of refunding my Amex in fear of my loosing usage of Epocrates. What do you suggest?

Dr.

Annie Holmes-Inserra cell phone 305-528-**** please call me to resolve this double bill. Thank you.

Unauthorized billing and poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was billed an autopayment for Epocrates Plus which I did not approve. I have not used the service in months.

I have sent numerous emails to customer support without being contacted. I would like to talk with customer service and they only allow contact by email.

Unauthorized renewal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was charge for Epocrates Plus auto-renewal without my approval. The company states they have attempted to credit my credit card 3 times and were unsuccessful.

I don't understand since they were able to charge me on the credit card.

Still getting the run around. Never get to speak to a customer service representative.

Dissatisfaction with customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have received no response from the support staff regarding my issue with my Epocrates app, other than to tell me that I will hear from a representative within 1 business day. I have been waiting for several days for someone to address my problem with my account.

App support locked out of 2 accounts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have been using the support email for assistance since September and have not had anyone get back in touch with me other than the default we received your complaint no one will call no one will reach out to help me resolve these problems so I bought a second subscription at $179 and having the same problem again Ive reached out no one will answer. No one will return the email. This is ridiculous.
