How can I start a visit for a family member?
You can start a visit for a family member by selecting their profile in the DrHouse app before booking the appointment. Each visit is tied to that person’s individual medical record.
Quick Answer:
- Open the app and go to the visit booking screen
- Select the family member’s profile before starting
- Complete the intake process with their symptoms and information
- The physician will evaluate that specific family member
- Each visit is for one patient only
How It Works
To start a visit for a family member:
- Open the DrHouse app and begin booking a visit
- Select the correct family member profile from your account
- Enter their symptoms and medical details during intake
- Choose a pharmacy (if applicable)
- Connect with a licensed physician via video
The physician will only see the selected family member’s medical record during the consultation.
Important Considerations
- One patient per visit: Each appointment is for one person only
- Minors require a guardian: A parent or legal guardian must be present during visits for patients under 18
- Correct profile: Make sure you select the right family member before starting — this determines which medical record the physician reviews
- Visit credits: If available, credits can be applied when booking a family member’s visit
