Are there age restrictions for adding family members?

There are no specific age restrictions for adding family members to your DrHouse account. You can add both adults and children, as long as you provide the required personal information to create their profile.

Quick Answer:

  • No minimum or maximum age to add a family member
  • Children (minors) can be added to your account
  • Each person gets their own medical profile
  • Minors must have a parent or legal guardian during visits
  • Visits must be booked by the account holder for minors

How It Works

DrHouse allows you to create individual profiles for each family member, regardless of age. This includes children, dependents, or other individuals you manage care for. Each profile is treated as a separate patient with their own medical records, visit history, and prescriptions.

When booking a visit, you simply choose the family member’s profile, and the physician will evaluate that specific patient.

Visits for Children and Minors

While minors can be added without restriction, there are important rules for their care:

  • A parent or legal guardian must be present during the virtual visit
  • Minors cannot start or attend visits on their own
  • The adult managing the account is responsible for booking and attending the visit

This ensures proper consent and safe medical care for younger patients.

What to Expect

  • You can manage healthcare for the whole family in one account
  • Each family member’s information stays private and separate

You can switch between profiles to view records or book visits
