Short answer

Can I get online care for lichen sclerosus in Texas?

Yes, for adults 18 and older in Texas. Itching, white patches or thin skin in the genital area? A clinician reviews your symptoms and history, and arranges an exam when needed. 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. A prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose only if it's appropriate; controlled medicines are never prescribed online. If you have a sore, lump, thick patch or bleeding spot that hasn't healed in 2–3 weeks, you need an in-person visit within a few days instead, and you don't pay the online fee.

About the condition

What to know about lichen sclerosus

Lichen sclerosus is a long-term skin condition that causes thin, white, wrinkled patches, most often on the vulva or around the anus, and sometimes on the foreskin. It can cause intense itching, tearing, pain with sex and scarring. It's most common in women after menopause and is thought to involve the immune system. It isn't contagious.

Before you start

Is online care right for you?

A good fit for online care

  • You've been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus and need a treatment review or refill
  • Itching or white, thin skin in the genital area that keeps coming back
  • You want help using treatment safely over the long term
  • Itching you thought was a yeast infection that isn't clearing

Book an in-person visit instead if

  • A sore, lump, thick patch or bleeding spot that hasn't healed in 2–3 weeks Within days
  • Pain so bad you can't sit, or trouble passing urine Same day
  • You can't pull back your foreskin, or it's getting tighter Within days
  • Redness that is spreading fast Same day
  • A rash on or around your eye Same day
  • Swelling of your face or eyelids, without trouble breathing Same day

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.

Call 911 or go to the ER now if you have

Call 911

  • Swelling of your lips, tongue or throat, or trouble breathing or swallowing

Emergency room now

  • Foreskin stuck behind the head of the penis and swollen
  • A rash with fever, and you feel very unwell
  • Widespread blistering or peeling skin, or sores in your mouth or eyes
  • Skin that is turning dark purple or black

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.

How it works

How your lichen sclerosus visit works

  1. 1
    Answer the lichen sclerosus intake

    About 5 minutes, with photos if they help. Emergency and safety questions come first.

  2. 2
    A clinician reviews it the same day

    A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reads everything and calls or videos you if they need more.

  3. 3
    You get a plan

    If treatment is appropriate, a prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose.

  4. 4
    Follow-up is built in

    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.

Your care

What to expect from your clinician

What your clinician may consider

  • Questions about your symptoms and history, with optional photos — many people need an in-person exam to confirm the diagnosis
  • A very strong prescription steroid ointment, if appropriate, used on a set schedule and then reduced
  • Gentle skin care: plain moisturizers and avoiding soaps and irritants
  • A small skin biopsy in clinic if the diagnosis is unclear or an area doesn't respond
  • Regular long-term check-ups, because the affected skin has a small increased risk of skin cancer

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.

Price & insurance

How much does an online lichen sclerosus visit cost?

Standard evaluation
$89
  • Everything in Quick
  • Lab orders when needed (labs billed separately)
  • 30 days of secure messaging

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 and imaging, if needed, are billed separately, and medication is paid at your pharmacy. Passion Health doesn't sell, ship or mark up medication.

Follow-up

A 48-hour check-in, 30 days of secure messaging, and lab follow-up when labs were ordered.

Questions

Questions about lichen sclerosus care

How much does an online lichen sclerosus visit cost?

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.

Will I talk to someone, or is it just a form?

A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reviews every intake and decides your plan — not software. For lichen sclerosus, 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.

Is a prescription guaranteed?

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.

Is lichen sclerosus a sexually transmitted infection?

No. It isn't caused by an infection, and you can't catch it or pass it on through sex or touch. Its cause isn't fully known, but it's linked to the immune system and sometimes runs in families. Because it can look like other conditions, including yeast infections, an exam is often needed to be sure.

Will I need treatment forever?

Lichen sclerosus is long-term. Many people use a strong steroid ointment daily at first, then less often to keep symptoms under control. Ongoing treatment and regular checks help prevent scarring and let your clinician spot any changes early. Your clinician will set a schedule that fits you.

The Texas law behind this visit

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)).
