Does my child need his/her own DrHouse account?

No, your child does not need their own separate DrHouse account. You can manage your child’s care directly from your own account by adding them as a family member.

Quick Answer:

• Children do not need separate accounts
• Parents/guardians manage care from one account
• Each child gets their own profile and medical record
• You select your child when booking a visit
• A parent/guardian must attend the visit

How It Works

DrHouse includes a family management feature that allows you to add multiple family members, including children, under a single account.

Once added:

• Your child has their own profile and medical history
• You can book visits on their behalf
• You choose your child’s profile when starting a visit
• The physician sees your child as the patient during the consultation

This keeps each family member’s care organized while allowing you to manage everything in one place.

What to Expect During a Visit

When your child has a virtual visit:

• You (the parent or legal guardian) must be present
• The physician will ask questions about your child’s symptoms and health history
• The doctor may provide a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription if appropriate

Each visit is conducted for one patient only, so if more than one child needs care, separate visits are required.

Limitations and What to Know

• No independent access for minors: Children cannot create or manage accounts
• Parental supervision is required: You must attend the visit
• Separate visits per child: One appointment cannot cover multiple children
• Care depends on evaluation: Treatment and prescriptions are based on the physician’s judgment
