Passion Health Online Care is the online clinic of Passion Health Primary Care, a physician-owned practice with clinics across Dallas–Fort Worth. Adults anywhere in Texas can get online care for more than 130 conditions — from UTIs, sinus infections and rashes to birth control, thyroid and blood-pressure care. A Texas-licensed clinician reviews each condition-specific intake the same day; flat cash prices start at $59, or you can use BCBS of Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana or Healthcare Highways. Prescriptions, when appropriate, go to the pharmacy you choose, and anyone who needs an exam is booked into a same-day clinic visit, or, outside Dallas–Fort Worth, told where to be seen nearby.

You spend about five minutes. We do the rest, and we tell you plainly if online care isn't the right fit.
Pick from the catalog. You'll see what's included, what it costs, and when we'd rather see you in person — before you start. Many visits end with a prescription; some end with a different plan.
Questions written by our physicians for that exact problem, plus the photos and records Texas law relies on for an online evaluation. Takes 3–6 minutes. We call or video you whenever the clinician needs more.
A Texas-licensed Passion Health physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant reviews your case the same day — around the clock on weekdays, and 7 AM–9 PM CT on weekends. If a prescription is appropriate, it goes to the pharmacy you chose. New patients using insurance get a short video visit — that's what your plan pays for.
A check-in message at 48 hours, renewals on a schedule that fits the condition, and a same-day appointment at a Passion Health clinic if you need hands-on care, or, elsewhere in Texas, clear advice on where to be seen near you.
You pay for a clinician's evaluation and care plan — never for a medication, and never with a prescription promised. Your pharmacy bills you separately for anything prescribed.
Billed to your plan as an online evaluation or a telehealth visit, whichever your plan covers, with your plan's usual cost-sharing. Here's how it works:
One transparent price by evaluation type. No insurance needed and nothing billed to your plan. HSA/FSA accepted for evaluation fees.
| Evaluation type | Typical conditions | Includes | Cash price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick | UTI, cold & flu, sinus, pink eye, rash, allergies, cold sores, heartburn | Intake review, treatment plan, Rx if appropriate, 48-hr check-in, 14-day message window | $59 |
| Standard | Birth control, hair loss, ED, migraine, yeast & BV, blood pressure or diabetes refills | Everything in Quick, plus lab orders when needed and 30 days of secure messaging | $89 |
| Comprehensive | Anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, PMDD and other mental-health conditions | Video visit with a clinician, screening tools, care plan, 90-day message window | $129 |
| Renewal / follow-up | Established patients continuing a plan we started | Short check-in intake, refill review, adjustments | $39 |
| WeightCare | Medical weight management | Its own program agreement. Direct (uninsured / out-of-network): $387 for the first 3 months, then $129/mo. Insured: visits bill your plan, with an optional $59/mo wellness bundle never billed to insurance | $387first 3 months, then $129/mo |
Online care works best for well-defined problems. If your intake shows you need to be seen, we tell you where and how soon — an emergency room, a same-day appointment at a Passion Health clinic in Dallas–Fort Worth, or care near you elsewhere in Texas — and refund any online fee you've paid, in full.

Book an in-person visit Call 214-666-6259Online visits aren't outsourced. They're reviewed by Passion Health's own physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, all licensed in Texas, so your record follows you if you ever walk into one of our clinics.

Every case is reviewed by a Passion Health physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant — a licensed person, not software, decides your plan. For most everyday conditions, Texas lets that clinician evaluate you from a condition-specific intake plus the photos and records you upload, and they'll call you if anything needs a conversation. Visits for anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, PMDD and trichotillomania always include a live video visit.
No. You're paying for a licensed clinician to evaluate you and build a care plan. Many visits end with a prescription; some end with a different plan. If treatment isn't appropriate or isn't safe, the clinician will tell you why and what to do instead. If the clinician doesn't accept your case for online care, for any reason, the full fee is refunded to your card.
You get a full refund. After you pay and submit, a Texas-licensed clinician reviews your case. If they don't accept it for online care, for any reason — you need an exam, it isn't something we treat online, or in their judgment online care isn't right for you — we refund the full fee to the same card within 10 business days and help you get the care you need: a same-day visit at one of our Dallas–Fort Worth clinics or, if you're not near one, clear advice on where to be seen and a written summary of your visit. If you used insurance, no claim is submitted for the online review. Screening questions before payment cost nothing. If the clinician accepts your case, the fee is for their evaluation and care plan, and a prescription is never guaranteed.
No. We send prescriptions to the pharmacy you choose — CVS, Walgreens, H-E-B, Walmart, Costco, an independent, or a mail-order pharmacy your plan uses. You pay the pharmacy directly, and we receive nothing from any pharmacy.
Adults 18 and older who are physically in Texas at the time of the visit. Children are seen in person at Passion Health clinics that see children, or by your child's own doctor.
Often, yes, where your plan covers it. If you're already a Passion Health patient, the intake review may be billed as an online visit (for ongoing conditions we book you with your own clinician instead); if you're new to us, your plan pays for a visit rather than a form, so you'll have a short video visit with the clinician. We show your estimated cost-share before review starts. If you'd rather not involve insurance, choose the flat cash rate — nothing is billed to your plan. Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and TRICARE beneficiaries are billed through their program for covered services.
No. Stimulants, benzodiazepines, sleep medications like zolpidem, opioids, testosterone and other controlled medicines are never prescribed or renewed through Online Care. If one may be right for you — some ADHD treatment, for example — a Passion Health physician evaluates you in person at one of our clinics, and any controlled medicine is started and managed there.
Your online visit lands in the same chart your clinic uses, and your regular clinician sees it. For ongoing conditions — thyroid, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes and the like — if you have insurance we'll book you with your own clinician instead, in person or by video, billed like any visit with no online fee. Established patients without insurance pay the $39 follow-up rate to continue a treatment we already prescribed; a new problem uses the page price.
For two different reasons. The ID is so the clinician knows who they're treating and the prescription goes into the right chart — medical identity theft is real, and a wrong chart is a safety problem. The insurance card is so we can verify your benefits and bill correctly. Any government-issued photo ID works: a Texas license or state ID, a passport from any country, a consular ID, a military ID, or a permanent resident card. If you don't have one, say so and a team member verifies you by phone or video instead — we won't turn you away.
Your intake, photos, and visit notes go into the same protected medical record our clinics use. We don't sell or share your data for marketing. We use and share it for your treatment, for payment and for our health care operations, and as the law requires or allows (for example, reporting certain infections to public health), as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. Any other sharing, such as being contacted about research, needs your separate written authorization. You can request a copy of your record at any time.
On weekdays, clinicians review cases around the clock, so your intake is reviewed within hours whenever you finish it. On weekends, review runs 7 AM to 9 PM Central: intakes completed by 7 PM are reviewed the same day, and later ones by 9 AM the next morning. Review time is a service commitment, not a legal requirement — the law sets the standard of care, not the clock.
Book a same-day visit at one of our clinics across Dallas–Fort Worth, or call and we'll point you to the right visit — or, if you're elsewhere in Texas, to the right kind of care near you.
Texas rewrote its telemedicine rules in 2017 (SB 1107) and the Medical Board consolidated them again in January 2025. The statute is short and specific. Here is each requirement, its source, and what we do about it.
| Requirement | Primary source | How Passion Health Online Care complies |
|---|---|---|
| Clinician licensed in Texas | Tex. Occ. Code §151.05622 TAC §175.1 (eff. Jan 9, 2025) | Every reviewing physician, NP, and PA holds a full Texas license or Texas-recognized credential. Because our clinicians are licensed in Texas, it is Passion Health policy to treat only patients physically in Texas: intake starts by confirming it; a patient outside Texas is stopped before any evaluation or charge. |
| Knowing who the patient is | Tex. Occ. Code §111.007 (standard of care)No Texas rule mandates photo ID; Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §521.052 governs storing it | Identity is confirmed from the patient's own details plus a government-issued photo ID of any country or type, which Online Care requires (Passion Health policy since November 12, 2026); anyone without one is offered an in-person clinic visit instead. Immigration and citizenship status are never asked. ID images live in the chart under HIPAA, with the safeguarding and destruction Chapter 521 requires. |
| A valid practitioner-patient relationship | Tex. Occ. Code §111.005(a)22 TAC §175.3(a) | Formed by (1) an existing Passion Health relationship, or (2) asynchronous store-and-forward intake with clinically relevant photos and records — plus a live phone or video call whenever the clinician needs it — or (3) a synchronous video visit for Comprehensive evaluations. |
| Same standard of care as an in-person visit | Tex. Occ. Code §111.00722 TAC §175.2 | Each condition has physician-approved red-flag criteria and intake questions drawn from the relevant guideline. If the standard of care requires an exam, ECG, labs today, or imaging, the patient is routed to a same-day clinic visit — or, outside Dallas–Fort Worth, told what care they need and where — instead of treated online. |
| Informed consent before service | Tex. Occ. Code §111.00245 C.F.R. §164.520 (privacy notice) | Telemedicine consent is collected in the first intake step, with a link to the Notice of Privacy Practices, and intake cannot continue without it; the consent record is stored in the patient's chart. |
| Confidentiality of clinical information | Tex. Occ. Code §111.003 & ch. 159Tex. Health & Safety Code ch. 181; 45 C.F.R. 160/164 | Intakes are stored on Passion Health's own intake service and sent only to a practice inbox covered by a business associate agreement; visit notes are recorded in the practice's eClinicalWorks chart. No advertising trackers on intake pages. Information is used and shared for treatment, payment and health care operations and as the law requires or allows (for example, public-health reporting), as described in the Notice of Privacy Practices; any other sharing, such as research contact, needs the patient's separate written authorization. |
| Follow-up guidance and records to the PCP within 72 hours | Tex. Occ. Code §111.005(b) | Every plan includes written follow-up instructions and a 48-hour check-in. With consent, the visit note is sent to an outside PCP within 72 hours; for Passion Health patients it is already in the shared chart. |
| Valid prescriptions; chronic-pain controlled substances need live audio-video | 22 TAC §175.3(b)21 U.S.C. §829(e); DEA extension through Dec 31, 2026 | Prescriptions issue only after the relationship above is established. Controlled substances are never prescribed or renewed through Online Care; any controlled medicine is started and managed by a Passion Health physician through in-person clinic care (Schedule II prescribing cannot be delegated to NPs/PAs outside a hospital or hospice, §157.0511) — stricter than the rule and unaffected by the DEA's Dec 31, 2026 expiry. |
| No payment for patient referrals | Tex. Occ. Code §102.00142 U.S.C. §1320a-7b(b) for federal programs | Patients choose any pharmacy. Passion Health accepts no referral fees, rebates, or product markups and does not dispense. |
| Non-physician clinicians practice under physician delegation | Tex. Occ. Code §157.0512 | Nurse practitioners and physician assistants review cases under a prescriptive authority agreement with a supervising Passion Health physician, with the chart review and quality-assurance meetings the agreement requires. |
| Card data handled outside our systems | PCI DSS v4.0 (SAQ A)Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §521.052 for anything we do hold | Self-pay fees go through Authorize.net's hosted payment page. No card number ever reaches this site or the practice's systems, which keeps the practice in the smallest PCI scope. Recurring program billing runs on a separate authorization the patient signs, not on this page. |
| Notice of how to file a complaint with the Texas Medical Board | Tex. Occ. Code §154.05122 TAC §177.2 | The required notice appears in the footer of this site in English and Spanish, and will also be included in the patient portal and on receipts. |
| Mental health services are outside Chapter 111 | Tex. Occ. Code §111.008 | Mental-health services follow the Medical Practice Act's general standard of care. As a matter of Passion Health policy, anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, PMDD and trichotillomania evaluations are live video visits with validated screening rather than intake-only review. |
