How It Works
If you’re experiencing a recurring issue—such as repeated infections, migraines, allergies, or other ongoing symptoms—you can schedule a virtual visit with a licensed physician. During the consultation, the doctor will review your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments.
Based on this evaluation, they may:
- diagnose or reassess the condition
- recommend a treatment plan
- prescribe or adjust medications
- suggest lifestyle or symptom management strategies
For ongoing issues, you can continue care through follow-up visits, allowing physicians to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.
Ongoing & Chronic Care Support
DrHouse supports care for many long-term or recurring conditions through its chronic care and follow-up model. This may include conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, or recurring infections.
Physicians may also help with medication management and refills when appropriate. In many cases, refills of up to 90 days may be provided depending on the condition and medication.
Limitations / What to Know
- Treatment is based on a physician’s evaluation during each visit
- Prescriptions and refills are not guaranteed
- Some conditions may require lab tests or in-person care
- Certain medications (like controlled substances) are not prescribed
- Ongoing care may require periodic check-ins or monitoring
If your condition cannot be safely managed through telehealth, the physician may recommend in-person evaluation or additional testing.
