1. Introductory Consult: this is the first interaction with a new doctor or a doctor who has not yet accepted you as a patient on Snark Health.

You may receive an examination (within the limits of virtual care), provide a medical history, obtain an assessment from a physician, and receive a treatment plan as determined to be medically appropriate by the consulting doctor.
