Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Phone change ignored | Some clinics manually verify | Allow time; or message clinic |
| Email change blocks sign-in | Email is your sign-in identity | Verify the new email before changing |
| Insurance doesn't apply at next billing | Clinic hasn't synced | Front desk verifies; allow a day |
| Allergy not showing on prescription | Severity must be moderate or severe | Re-edit and set severity |
| Want to delete data | Use Account → Delete account | Triggers data subject erasure flow |
