Can two or more patients be seen in one visit?

No, only one patient can be seen per visit. Each DrHouse consultation is conducted for a single individual and is tied to that person’s medical record.

Quick Answer:

• One visit = one patient only
• You cannot combine multiple patients in one consultation
• Each person needs their own separate appointment
• Visits are linked to individual medical records
• You can switch profiles to book visits for different family members

How It Works

DrHouse requires that every visit be conducted for a single patient because each consultation creates or updates that individual’s medical record. This allows the physician to:

• review accurate health history
• document symptoms correctly
• provide a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan

If you have multiple family members who need care, you’ll need to start a separate visit for each person.

Why Separate Visits Are Required

Medical care is individualized. Even if two people have similar symptoms (like a cold or flu), the physician must evaluate each patient separately to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.

Each visit includes:

• a dedicated consultation
• a separate diagnosis
• individual prescriptions (if appropriate)

Managing Multiple Family Members

You can still easily manage care for multiple people:

• Add each family member to your account
• Select their profile when booking a visit
• Schedule visits back-to-back if needed

This keeps everything organized while ensuring each person receives proper care.

Important Considerations

• No shared consultations: Multiple patients cannot be evaluated in one visit
• Separate charges may apply: Each visit is billed individually
• Physician decisions are per patient: Treatment and prescriptions are not shared
