Does DrHouse accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance plans?
DrHouse accepts Medicare, but does not accept Medicaid. Other government insurance plans may be accepted in some cases, but coverage depends on the specific plan and provider network.
Quick Answer
- Medicare: Accepted
- Medicaid: Not accepted
- Medicare Advantage: Some plans accepted, some not
- Other government plans: May vary by plan
- Always verify coverage before your visit
Medicare Coverage
DrHouse accepts Medicare, allowing eligible patients to use their benefits for virtual doctor visits.
However, coverage still depends on:
- Your specific Medicare plan
- Whether your visit is considered covered under telehealth benefits
- Any applicable copays, deductibles, or coinsurance
Medicare Advantage Plans
Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are accepted, but not all.
These plans are offered through private insurers, so:
- Network participation may vary
- Coverage rules may differ from standard Medicare
- Out-of-pocket costs depend on your plan
It’s important to check whether your specific plan is supported.
Medicaid
DrHouse does not accept Medicaid at this time.
Patients with Medicaid would need to choose the self-pay option if they wish to use the service.
Other Government Insurance Plans
Other government-sponsored plans (such as certain state or federal programs) may not be widely accepted, but this can vary depending on the plan.
Coverage depends on:
- The specific insurance provider
- Network agreements
- Plan-specific telehealth benefits
Limitations and What to Know
- Insurance coverage is not guaranteed, even if accepted
- Some plans may be out-of-network
- You may still be responsible for copays, deductibles, or coinsurance
- If your plan is not accepted or denies the claim, the visit cost is $129 (self-pay)
