What is the difference between a virtual visit and an in-person visit?

At DrHouse, we’re redefining how you access healthcare by offering high-quality virtual visits through our app. While both virtual and in-person visits focus on diagnosing and treating health concerns, virtual visits bring unique advantages that fit seamlessly into your busy life.

Virtual visits with DrHouse

A virtual visit connects you to a licensed physician in minutes—24/7, no matter where you are. Through our telehealth app, the doctors at DrHouse can:

• Diagnose a wide range of health conditions, from common illnesses like colds and UTIs to chronic issues like hypertension or allergies.
• Develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your symptoms and medical history.
• Prescribe medications when necessary, sending them directly to your preferred pharmacy.
• Write referrals for lab tests, imaging, or specialist care when further evaluation is required.

Virtual visits eliminate the need for travel, waiting rooms, or time off from your daily routine. Whether you need care late at night, during a busy workday, or while traveling, DrHouse makes it simple to connect with a doctor on your terms.

In-person visits

In-person visits are most appropriate for conditions that require physical examinations, immediate lab work, imaging (such as X-rays), or hands-on treatments. For example, severe injuries, advanced diagnostic needs, or surgical care are best handled in a traditional medical setting.

However, many health concerns—up to 70%—can be resolved through telemedicine. If your situation requires in-person care, your DrHouse provider will guide you on the next steps and provide referrals to ensure continuity of care.
