Heart Failure Evaluation

When heart failure symptoms shift — more shortness of breath, swelling, or fatigue than usual — an in-person evaluation can catch what a video visit might miss. A General Medicine clinician reviews your history and builds a referral request, so your in-person visit starts without delay. If something's missing, we handle it before you go.

Reasons to book a heart failure evaluation through General Medicine

Whether your symptoms are new or your treatment plan needs adjusting, getting evaluated in person means nothing about your care gets missed.

Your symptoms — swelling, shortness of breath, fatigue — are worse or different than usual

Your current treatment doesn't seem to be working the way it used to

You'd rather not spend time researching and vetting a cardiologist yourself

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to book?

Whether virtual or in person, you never need a referral before booking a visit with General Medicine. For in-person visits, we reach out to specialists near you to schedule your appointment. Tell us who you'd prefer, or let us choose for you — either way, we confirm they're in-network before booking. If that specialist requires a referral, our clinical team reviews your health history and symptoms, and if it all lines up, creates a referral for you before we book. That referral is yours to keep, whether we book for you or you take it somewhere else.

How does pricing work?

Before checkout, you'll see an estimated cash and insurance price based on your specialist and plan, but you won't pay until your visit — and that amount may shift with your care needs. All you pay today is $45. $15 covers a General Medicine clinician reviewing your info and providing a referral. $30 covers scheduling coordination: confirming the specialist's in-network, booking a time that works for you, and sending your history ahead. These fees aren't covered by insurance, but are FSA/HSA eligible.

What if I'm having symptoms right now that feel urgent?

If you're suddenly much more short of breath, gaining weight rapidly, or your swelling is getting worse quickly, don't wait for this visit — call 911 or go to your nearest ER. This visit is for evaluation and ongoing care, not an active emergency.

What happens after my heart failure evaluation?

Your cardiologist may adjust your medications, order tests like an echocardiogram or labs, or recommend closer monitoring, depending on what they find. Any changes are shared with your regular care team.

What should I bring to help my cardiologist get up to speed quickly?

Recent labs, an echocardiogram if you've had one, and a list of your current medications all help. We'll also send your health history ahead of the visit.
