Common questions.
Is Ovia free?
The Ovia app is free to download. Some premium tools and health coaching come through employers or health plans that offer Ovia.
Does Ovia have nurses or doctors?
Its App Store listing describes health coaching for people who get Ovia through an employer or health plan. It does not describe a medical group that treats you. Phia is a licensed medical group in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Can I use Ovia and Phia together?
Yes. Phia works by text, so there’s nothing to install, and it doesn’t replace the apps you already like.
