Nephrology Office Visit
In-person visit

Meet with a local nephrologist

Kidney function that needs a closer look, ongoing management of a kidney condition, or something your primary care doctor wants evaluated — a nephrologist can take it from here. 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.

How in-person visits work

1

Browse local nephrologists

Tell us who you'd prefer, or let us choose — and we'll connect you with a local nephrologist in your area.

We schedule for you

After clinical review, you'll get an official referral. From there, we'll book the earliest appointment that fits your schedule and preferences, and send you the details within 2 business days.

3

Your in-person team is fully prepped

We share your health history ahead of time. And if anything comes up before or after your visit, we're a text away.

4

Get ongoing support anytime

Medications, labs, follow-ups, and referrals — we can coordinate it all. And because your history moves with you, you're never starting from scratch.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Whatever brought you here, we make sure your nephrologist has your labs and history before your visit, so nothing gets re-explained.

Recent labs flagged a kidney function concern that needs a specialist's review

You're managing a kidney condition that needs ongoing oversight

What our customers say about in-person visits

Hear from people who've had General Medicine match them with the right specialist — and stay in their corner every step of the way.

I had low testosterone all the way around so I wanted a referral so I could get properly tested. I'm now getting what I need and leaving my primary care doc in the weeds.

Geoff

General Medicine reached out to a local neurologist for me and got me an in-person appointment for the same week. My PCP through General Medicine continued to reach out to me to follow up, and I felt very supported the entire time.

Cait

They always treat me with respect and do their best to get me treated quickly. They arrange for all tests and doctor visits when they refer you to specialists. Plus, they take my Medicaid insurance!

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 not sure this needs an in-person visit?

A General Medicine clinician can help you figure that out. Some kidney care concerns can be handled through a specialist review, which is virtual and does not require an in-person visit, while others genuinely need a hands-on exam. If a specialist review turns out to be the better fit for what you're dealing with, we'll point you there instead.

What if this feels urgent — like I can't wait for a scheduled visit?

If you're having symptoms like severe swelling, very little or no urination, confusion, or shortness of breath, don't wait — go to your nearest ER. This visit is for evaluation and ongoing care, not emergencies.

What if my kidney function continues to decline?

Your nephrologist adjusts your treatment plan and monitors closely, and lets you know if a referral for further care becomes necessary.
