How do I manage and update my personal and medical information in the app?
You can manage and update your personal and medical information directly in the DrHouse app through your account settings and during the visit booking process. Keeping your information current helps ensure accurate medical records, billing, and treatment decisions.
Quick Answer:
- Update personal details in the app’s account settings.
- Add or update insurance information at any time.
- Manage payment methods through your account settings.
- Update your preferred pharmacy in the app.
- Provide medical history, medications, allergies, and symptoms when booking a visit.
- Upload lab results, medical records, or other documents during the visit intake process.
How It Works
When you create a DrHouse account, you provide basic personal information needed to schedule appointments and receive care. After your account is created, you can update contact details, address information, insurance information, payment methods, and pharmacy preferences through the app’s account settings.
Managing Medical Information
Before a virtual visit, you’ll be asked to complete medical information relevant to your care. This may include:
- Current symptoms
- Medical history
- Current medications
- Allergies
- Other health-related information requested by the physician
Providing complete and accurate information helps physicians evaluate your condition and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Uploading Medical Documents
You can upload supporting documents during the visit intake process, including:
- Lab results
- Medical records
- Photos of symptoms or conditions
- Other relevant healthcare documents
These materials are available for the physician to review before or during your consultation.
What to Know
If your insurance information changes, updating it before your visit can help avoid billing issues. Likewise, keeping your medication list and medical history current helps physicians make informed treatment decisions. Medical records, visit notes, and prescription history are stored securely within the app and are protected under HIPAA privacy requirements.
