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 fibromyalgia management 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
