Where SwiftCareMD Stands Out

  • $94 cheaper for a note — $34.99 versus DrHouse's $129.
  • No video call required — submit a simple form and a physician reviews it asynchronously.
  • Faster for a note-only need, with no appointment to schedule.

Where DrHouse May Be a Better Fit

  • You need prescriptions, urgent care, or comprehensive telehealth — DrHouse is a full-service clinic.
  • You want to use insurance — DrHouse accepts it; SwiftCareMD is flat self-pay $34.99.
  • You live in a state SwiftCareMD doesn't cover (AK, AR, MA, NM, NC, OR, RI, SC, VA) — DrHouse serves all 50 states.

Is SwiftCareMD available in my state?

We're currently licensed in 40+ U.S. states plus DC. We don't yet serve Alaska, Arkansas, Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, or Virginia. If you're in one of those 9 states, check back soon.

Is SwiftCareMD HIPAA compliant?

What if my employer rejects the note?
