Why Texans choose Your Doctors Online
New York healthcare is strained. Long primary-care waits, packed urgent care, and high-deductible plans push everyday care out of reach for many New Yorkers. Healthcare Value Hub's 2025 NY survey found 80% are worried about affording care. Here's how we work around that.
Late nights, early shifts, and weekends covered
Texas runs on shift work. Refineries on the Gulf Coast, hospitals across the Texas Medical Center, ranch operations, and overnight logistics in Dallas–Fort Worth all keep odd hours. Our online doctors in Texas are available every night, every weekend, and every holiday.
No 90-minute drive to a clinic
Texas covers 268,000 square miles. Outside major metros, the nearest urgent care can be over an hour each way. A virtual visit cuts out the drive and the waiting room.
Prescriptions sent to your local Texas pharmacy
Your prescription goes to whichever pharmacy you choose during your telemedicine visit. Whether it is CVS, Walgreens, H-E-B Pharmacy, Walmart, Kroger, or a local independent, we deliver your prescription in minutes.
Care from anywhere in Texas
Whether you live in Houston, are stationed at Fort Cavazos, are traveling for work in the Permian Basin, or are a college student, you can connect with a doctor right when you need medical care.
What can our Texas virtual doctors help you with?
Our Texas-licensed doctors handle a wide range of everyday and urgent medical needs through telehealth visits. The categories below cover what we treat most often.
Urgent care
You can get same-day virtual care for urinary tract infections, sinus infections, ear infections, strep throat, pink eye, cold and flu symptoms, COVID-19 evaluation, and seasonal allergies.
Chronic care
Manage chronic conditions without losing a weekend to a Texas clinic. We help with diabetes monitoring, blood pressure management, asthma refills, and thyroid follow-ups.
Mental health support
Get mental health counseling for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and insomnia. Video sessions stay on a HIPAA-compliant platform.
Skin concerns
We provide prescriptions for common skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and fungal infections.
Sexual and reproductive health
Get medical advice for yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, birth control prescriptions and refills, STI screening, and erectile dysfunction treatment.
Prescriptions, refills & doctor's notes
You can get new prescriptions or refills during a same-day telehealth visit when a Texas-licensed doctor determines it is medically appropriate. We also provide doctor's notes for work or school, delivered as a downloadable PDF right after your visit, including the physician's name, license details, and clinic information.
What we can't treat online, and where to go instead
Telehealth and telemedicine are not suitable options for emergencies or conditions that require an in-person exam, hospital care, or a specialist. Call 911 or go to your nearest Texas emergency department for:
Call 911 or go to your nearest ER
- Seizures
- Anaphylaxis symptoms
- Changes in vision after a head trauma
- Displaced or open wound fractures
- Poisoning or overdose of a drug or alcohol
- Dislocated bones or joints
- Eye trauma
We do not complete Texas Department of Insurance Workers' Compensation forms, fitness-for-duty clearances after surgery, or any documentation that requires a physical exam we cannot do remotely. For those, we refer you to an in-person provider in Texas.

Telehealth costs in Texas, with or without insurance
The average cost of a telehealth visit in Texas costs around $49 to $99 per visit. Your Doctors Online uses a flat-rate subscription instead of per-visit billing, which usually works out cheaper for anyone who sees a doctor more than once a year. Your subscription includes unlimited consultations, prescriptions, and free sick notes.

No insurance required
Texas requires coverage parity for telemedicine, meaning state-regulated insurance plans must cover telehealth services on the same basis as in-person care under the Texas Insurance Code. However, insurers are not required to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as in-person visits. If you have a high deductible, paying $20/month out of pocket is often less than your copay. You can use Your Doctors Online with or without insurance.
Texas telehealth laws and your rights
Under Tex. Occ. Code Ch. 111, enacted through Senate Bill 1107, a Texas doctor providing telemedicine must:
Provider requirements
- Meet the same standard of care as an in-person visit
- Be licensed by the Texas Medical Board (TMB)
- Get your informed consent before the visit
- Comply with HIPAA and the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act
- Provide a TMB complaint notice on request
No in-person visit required first
A licensed Texas doctor can establish the doctor-patient relationship over a telehealth call.
Coverage parity and Medicaid
House Bill 1052, in effect since January 1, 2026, expands coverage parity to out-of-state telemedicine sites as long as you primarily reside in Texas and the provider has a Texas license and a physical office in the state.
Texas Medicaid covers telemedicine services across STAR, STAR Health, and STAR+PLUS, subject to HHSC rules.
24/7 telehealth access in Texas by chat, phone, or video
Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the United States at roughly 16% of working-age adults, and rural counties carry a thin primary care network on top of that. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, Texas has 418 primary care shortage areas affecting 7.3 million residents, and one in five rural Texas counties has no primary care physician at all.
When the clinic across town is full, and the next opening is in three weeks, a virtual visit is the only same-day option that does not require routing through an emergency department.
Our Texas online doctors offer statewide telemedicine services, including cities and rural areas. You pick the format that fits. A short chat for a refill question, a phone call to talk through symptoms, and a video visit when a doctor needs to see a rash, an eye, or a wound.

Frequently asked questions
Are your doctors licensed in Texas?
Ye, the doctors on Your Doctors Online, seeing Texas patients, are board-certified US physicians licensed by the Texas Medical Board to practice in Texas. They follow the same standards of care as in-person clinics and comply with Tex. Occ. Code Ch. 111.
Can an online doctor prescribe antibiotics in Texas?
Yes, an online doctor in Texas can prescribe antibiotics when the visit confirms a bacterial infection. A few examples of antibiotic prescriptions you can get online include:
- Penicillin V for Strep throat
- Doxycycline for acne
- Amoxicillin-clavulanate for sinus infection
- Nitrofurantoin for UTI
- Doxycycline for Chlamydia
Your prescription goes to your preferred Texas pharmacy. We do not prescribe antibiotics for colds, the flu, or other viral infections, because antibiotics do not treat viruses.
How much does a telehealth visit cost in Texas without insurance?
A telehealth visit in Texas through Your Doctors Online costs $20 per month for unlimited visits, with no per-visit fees, copays, or deductibles. Other virtual care platforms in Texas charge $49 to $99 per visit when you pay out of pocket. There is no need for insurance to use Your Doctors Online.
Is telehealth covered by insurance in Texas?
Yes, with limits. Texas has coverage parity under the Texas Insurance Code §1455, so state-regulated insurance plans must cover telemedicine on the same basis as in-person care. Texas does not have payment parity, so reimbursement rates can vary. Texas Medicaid covers telemedicine through STAR, STAR Health, and STAR+PLUS plans.
Can I get a telehealth visit for a UTI in Texas?
Yes, UTIs are one of the most common reasons Texans use telehealth. An online doctor will ask about burning urination, frequency, urgency, lower back or pelvic pain, and any blood in the urine, review your history, and may prescribe the following antibiotic, depending on your symptoms:
- Sulfamethoxazole
Can telehealth prescribe antidepressants in Texas?
Yes. Texas-licensed doctors on Your Doctors Online can prescribe antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs during a telemedicine visit. The doctor runs a full evaluation, discusses options, and sends the prescription to your Texas pharmacy. If your needs are beyond our scope of practice, we refer you to a Texas psychiatrist.
Can telehealth diagnose strep throat in Texas?
A telehealth doctor can evaluate a sore throat, fever, swollen tonsils, and exposure history to assess the likelihood of strep throat. If the clinical picture fits the criteria for strep, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. If symptoms are ambiguous, you may be directed to a Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics location in Texas for a rapid strep test before treatment.
Is a telehealth prescription valid at Texas pharmacies?
Yes, online prescriptions written by a Texas-licensed doctor via telehealth are the same legal prescriptions as those written in a clinic. CVS, Walgreens, H-E-B, Walmart, Kroger, and independent Texas pharmacies fill these prescriptions exactly as they do in-person prescriptions, subject to standard pharmacy verification.
