How the LouisianaDoc visit works

The LouisianaDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A Louisiana-licensed physician (LA) reviews whether a preventive visit 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 Louisiana. That prescription is not a referral to a Texas or Mississippi clinic across the state line.

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

If you want to know whether a preventive visit is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. LouisianaDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
