How the WestVirginiaDoc visit works
The WestVirginiaDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A West Virginia-licensed physician (WV) reviews whether heart disease prevention 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 West Virginia. That prescription is not a referral to a Pittsburgh, Ohio, or Kentucky 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 heart disease prevention is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. WestVirginiaDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
