Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Virtual Rheumatology

Do I have to live in Houston to book a telehealth visit?

No! As long as you are physically located anywhere within the state of Texas at the time of your appointment, Dr. Bose can legally and clinically treat you via telehealth.

How does the doctor check my joints over video?

Physical examination is not optimal through telehealth. We recommend in-person visits as needed.

What if I need blood work or X-rays?

We order labs and imaging electronically to national testing centers such as Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp, or to local radiology centers near your ZIP code.

Does insurance cover virtual rheumatology visits in Texas?

Most commercial insurance plans cover telehealth services in Texas. Dr. Bose is a non-participating provider with Medicare. We also offer affordable flat-rate self-pay pricing for patients without insurance or out-of-network benefits.
