What if I don’t have insurance? Can I still use DrHouse services?
Yes. You can use DrHouse even if you do not have health insurance. DrHouse offers a self-pay option, allowing patients to book virtual doctor visits without insurance coverage. The standard self-pay price for a DrHouse virtual visit is $129.
Quick Answer:
- Health insurance is not required to use DrHouse.
- Patients can choose a self-pay visit when booking an appointment.
- The standard self-pay price is $129 per virtual visit.
- Prescriptions, lab tests, and other services may involve additional costs.
- Physicians provide care based on medical need, regardless of whether insurance is used.
How It Works
When scheduling a visit through the DrHouse app, you can choose either to use insurance or select the self-pay option. If you choose self-pay, no insurance information is required to complete your booking.
During your virtual visit, a licensed physician will evaluate your symptoms, discuss treatment options, and recommend appropriate care. If medically appropriate, prescriptions may be issued and sent to a pharmacy or made available for delivery in eligible locations.
What to Expect
The visit fee covers the consultation with a physician. DrHouse is available in all 50 U.S. states and provides care for a wide range of non-emergency medical conditions through secure video visits.
Patients without insurance can still access services such as:
- Online doctor visits
- Prescription services
- Prescription refills
- Chronic condition management
- Lab test referrals
- Doctor’s notes when medically appropriate
Limitations and Additional Costs
While the self-pay fee covers the virtual consultation, additional services may involve separate charges, including:
- Medications filled at a pharmacy
- Laboratory tests performed through Labcorp
- Other diagnostic services recommended by the physician
Prescriptions are issued only when medically appropriate and are not guaranteed.
