Specialist input
Rheumatology input
Coming soon. Joint pain, morning stiffness, or a positive ANA? With your consent, a Passion Health clinician will be able to ask a rheumatologist for written advice.
Coming soon. Got a positive ANA result? A clinician will review your symptoms and labs, explain what it may mean, and can ask a rheumatologist for advice.
Online specialist input for positive ANA is coming soon. Until then, a Passion Health clinician can see you in person in Dallas–Fort Worth, usually the same day; elsewhere in Texas, ask your own clinician about a specialist referral.
Not yet. When it launches, this will be an eConsult: your Passion Health clinician asks a rheumatologist for written advice. You won't have a visit with the rheumatologist, and they won't take over your care. Until then, a Passion Health clinician can see you in person in Dallas–Fort Worth, usually the same day; elsewhere in Texas, ask your own clinician about a specialist referral. If you have new swelling in your legs or around your eyes, or foamy, dark or bloody urine, you need to be seen in person today instead (at our Dallas–Fort Worth clinics, or urgent care near you).

An ANA (antinuclear antibody) test looks for antibodies that can target your own cells. A positive ANA is common — many healthy people, especially women and older adults, test positive and never develop disease. It can also be a clue to autoimmune conditions such as lupus or Sjögren's disease, so it is read alongside your symptoms.
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.
A Passion Health clinician evaluates you — online or by video — and stays responsible for your care. With your written consent, they send your history, results and your question to a specialist, who replies with written advice, usually within a few days. The specialist advises your clinician; they don't see you or take over your care. If they think you need to be seen in person, your clinician arranges a referral. How it will be billed is shown here before it opens.
Upload labs, imaging and letters.
Online or by video — they're responsible for your care.
Your clinician asks a specialist for written advice. The specialist does not see you.
Your clinician walks you through the advice and next steps.
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.
Specialist input isn't bookable yet. How it will be billed, including with insurance, is shown here before it opens. Until then, you can be seen in person at a Passion Health clinic in Dallas–Fort Worth, billed like any clinic visit, or, elsewhere in Texas, ask your own clinician about a specialist referral.
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.

No. A Passion Health clinician evaluates you and stays responsible for your care. With your consent, they send your history, results and question to a specialist, who replies with written advice — usually within a few days. If the specialist thinks you need to be seen in person, your clinician arranges a referral.
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.
Not on its own. Many healthy people have a positive ANA, especially at low levels, and most never develop lupus or another autoimmune disease. The result matters most when it comes with symptoms such as joint swelling, rashes, mouth sores or kidney changes. Your clinician looks at the level, the pattern and your symptoms together before deciding on any next step.
Not always. If your ANA is low-level and you have no symptoms, your clinician may suggest watching for changes rather than more tests. If your symptoms or other results point toward an autoimmune condition, your clinician may ask a rheumatologist for written advice or refer you for an in-person rheumatology visit.
Your Passion Health clinician forms the patient relationship and stays responsible for your care (Tex. Occ. Code §111.005, §111.007). The specialist gives written advice to that clinician with your documented consent and does not see you.
