How the VirginiaDoc visit works

The VirginiaDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A Virginia-licensed physician (VA) reviews whether diabetes care is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in Virginia. That prescription is not a referral to a District of Columbia, Maryland, or North Carolina clinic.

Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.

What happens next

If you want to know whether diabetes care is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. VirginiaDoc does not guarantee a prescription.

Sometimes, when education and follow-up are in place. The clinician will say if you need in-person teaching.

Will insurance cover this visit?
