Chronic Disease Management Q & A

What is chronic disease management?

Chronic disease management includes medical services to diagnose, treat, and manage chronic conditions that affect your physical and mental health.

A chronic disease typically lasts a year or longer and requires ongoing medical attention. Chronic disease risk factors include age, health history, and genetics. You can also be at increased risk of chronic health problems due to your lifestyle and diet choices.

MyHomeDoc provides adults with personalized chronic disease management through a secure, virtual telehealth platform. The medical team offers same-day urgent care visits to address new symptoms or refill prescriptions.

Chronic disease management is available for an affordable annual membership fee. You can also book a one-time appointment without a subscription if you need help managing symptoms of a chronic disease.

When should I consider chronic disease management?

Schedule a chronic disease management consultation with the MyHomeDoc team if you already have a diagnosis of a chronic disease like:

Diabetes
Allergies
Asthma
Acid reflux
Insomnia
Migraines
Hypothyroidism
High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Gout and other forms of arthritis
& More

The medical team will assess new symptoms that relate to a chronic disease. They also offer referrals for preventive screenings if you’re at high risk of disease due to your age or medical history.

What can I expect during a chronic disease management appointment?

You meet with the MyHomeDoc team virtually on the telehealth platform so that they can review your personal and medical histories and discuss your symptoms.

When you’re already taking medicine for your condition, the medication management specialists evaluate how well it’s working to control your condition.

If you need to increase or reduce your dose or require a new medication, the team prescribes it and ensures that you know how to take it correctly. Prescription refills are also available through the telehealth platform.

The providers also take a holistic approach to improving your health. They recommend lifestyle and diet changes to support long-term physical and mental wellness.

The team can also refer you to their personalized weight loss program to help you reach your weight loss goal and reduce your risk for additional chronic disease complications.

Chronic pain and conditions requiring controlled substances are evaluated case by case, and only prescribed for 7 day scripts at a time. Our Internal & Family Medicine Doctors may refer you to chronic pain management and psychiatrist if your condition needs a more extensive evaluation and management that is outside the scope of General Medicine.
