Yes, for adults 18 and older in Texas. Belly pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation that keeps coming back? A clinician checks for warning signs and builds a plan for your IBS. Review is by a Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician, 24/7 on weekdays and 7 AM–9 PM CT on weekends. The flat price is $89, or use insurance. If labs are needed, your clinician usually orders Complete blood count and High-sensitivity CRP, $54 including the $29 draw-and-review fee, through Passion Health Blood Work (plus celiac antibodies, fecal calprotectin, billed by the lab), drawn at a Passion Health clinic or any CPL patient service center in Texas; with insurance, the lab bills your plan directly. A prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose only if it's appropriate; controlled medicines are never prescribed online. If you're over 45 and these bowel changes are new, you need an in-person visit within a few days instead, and you don't pay the online fee.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, long-term condition in which the gut and brain don't communicate smoothly, causing belly pain with diarrhea, constipation or both. Bloating is common. Triggers include certain foods, stress and past stomach infections. IBS is more common in women and usually starts before age 50.
A little clear or white mucus in your stool is normal, and many people with IBS notice more of it. Mucus that comes with blood, fever, ongoing diarrhea, or belly pain that wakes you at night can mean infection or inflammation, so your clinician will want to look further.
Not near one of our clinics? Online Care is open to adults anywhere in Texas; our clinics are in Dallas–Fort Worth. If the safety questions or your clinician show you need to be examined, we tell you what kind of care you need and how soon — an emergency room, an urgent care center, or a clinician near you. If you've already paid, the full fee is refunded and you get a written summary of your visit to take with you.
Also call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, a sudden severe headache, fainting, a seizure, severe bleeding, new confusion, throat swelling, an overdose or thoughts of harming someone else — and call or text 988 for thoughts of harming yourself. If screening routes you before you pay, nothing is charged. If a clinician routes you after you've paid, the full fee is refunded.
About 5 minutes, with photos if they help. Emergency and safety questions come first.
A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reads everything and calls or videos you if they need more.
If treatment is appropriate, a prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose.
A 48-hour check-in and secure messaging. If you need to be seen, a same-day visit at our Dallas–Fort Worth clinics, or clear advice on where to go near you.
Shown so you know what to expect. The reviewing clinician decides what, if anything, is appropriate for you — a prescription is never guaranteed, and controlled medicines are never prescribed online.
Using insurance: we're in network with BCBS of Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana and Healthcare Highways, and we verify eligibility for every plan before review — you see your estimated cost-share first. New patients have a short video visit, because plans pay for a visit, not a form. Same-day review applies to self-pay visits; insurance visits begin once we've verified your plan, which is the next business morning if you submit overnight or on a weekend. Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and TRICARE are billed to the program, and the cash rate isn't offered for covered services.
Full refund if your case isn't accepted: if the clinician doesn't accept your case for online care, for any reason, the full fee is refunded to your card within 10 business days, and we 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. With insurance, no claim is submitted for the online review. Paying the flat price yourself? You can ask for a written Good Faith Estimate before your visit.
Labs your clinician orders are priced through Passion Health Blood Work if you self-pay, or billed to your plan directly by the lab (CPL) if you use insurance; imaging is billed by the imaging center and medication is paid at your pharmacy. Passion Health doesn't sell, ship or mark up medication.
A 48-hour check-in, 30 days of secure messaging, and lab follow-up when labs were ordered.
Blood count and CRP help rule out inflammation. Celiac antibody testing (tTG-IgA with total IgA), when needed, is run and billed by the lab. Ordered only if your clinician decides it's needed — the visit price never includes a test you don't need.
| Complete blood countRed cells, white cells, platelets (14 results) | $10 |
| High-sensitivity CRPLow-grade inflammation | $15 |
| Draw and clinician-review fee One per order of single tests; not charged when the order includes a Blood Work bundle | $29 |
Typical self-pay total for the Blood Work tests above: $89 visit + $54 labs = $143
Not included in this total: Celiac antibodies (tTG-IgA with total IgA), Fecal calprotectin, when needed — run and billed separately by the lab, or to your plan.
Self-pay prices are billed by Passion Health. If you use insurance — including Medicare and Medicaid — the lab (CPL) bills your plan directly for the tests under your plan's lab benefits, and the prices above don't apply. Blood is drawn at a Passion Health clinic in North Texas or at any CPL patient service center in Texas; your clinician reviews your results and contacts you.
The flat cash rate is $89 for a standard evaluation, or use your insurance and pay your plan's cost-share — we show you an estimate before review starts. Medication is paid at your pharmacy. If the clinician doesn't accept your case for online care, for any reason, the full fee is refunded to your card.
A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reviews every intake and decides your plan — not software. For IBS, Texas law lets the clinician evaluate you from a condition-specific intake plus your photos and records, and they'll call or video you whenever something needs a conversation. New patients using insurance have a short video visit, because plans pay for a visit, not a form.
No. You're paying for a licensed clinician's evaluation and plan. Many visits end with a prescription; some end with a different plan, a test, or a referral. Controlled medicines — stimulants, benzodiazepines, opioids, testosterone, sleep aids like zolpidem — are never prescribed at an online visit.
If your clinician orders labs, they're priced through Passion Health Blood Work: for IBS that's usually Complete blood count and High-sensitivity CRP, $54 including the $29 draw-and-review fee, through Passion Health Blood Work (plus celiac antibodies, fecal calprotectin, billed by the lab) (self-pay prices, billed by Passion Health). If you use insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid, the lab (CPL) bills your plan directly and those prices don't apply. You can have blood drawn at a Passion Health clinic in Dallas–Fort Worth or walk into any CPL patient service center in Texas with a photo ID; your clinician reviews your results and contacts you.
IBS is diagnosed from your symptom pattern — belly pain linked to bowel movements over months — and by making sure there are no warning signs. Your clinician asks about blood in your stool, weight loss, night-time symptoms, family history and your age, and may order a few simple tests. Warning signs mean an in-person visit and possibly a colonoscopy.
FODMAPs are carbohydrates found in foods like wheat, onions, garlic, beans, some fruits and dairy that can trigger gas and bloating in IBS. The diet removes them for a few weeks, then adds them back one at a time to find your triggers. It's easier with a dietitian's guidance, so you don't cut out more foods than you need to.
Yes. The celiac blood test is only accurate if you've been eating gluten (found in bread, pasta and other foods made with wheat, barley or rye) regularly for the past several weeks. If you've already cut back on gluten, or you're on a low-FODMAP diet, tell your clinician before the test is ordered. The test is usually checked along with your total IgA level, because people with low IgA can get a falsely normal result.
A clinician may form a valid patient relationship online using store-and-forward technology — your condition-specific intake, photos and records — paired with a call or video when needed, as long as the in-person standard of care is met (Tex. Occ. Code §111.005(a)(3), §111.007). Your clinician gives you guidance on follow-up care and, with your consent, sends new patients' visit notes to their primary care physician within 72 hours (§111.005(b)).
