Cardiology access for patients in Houston
This page is intended for patients located in or near Houston. It does not mean that the matched cardiologist must maintain an office or physical practice location in Houston.
Matching is based on the patient's state, the requested specialty, the clinician's verification status, applicable active state licensure, participation, and current availability.
The match is statewide, not city-restricted
A patient in Houston may be matched with a participating cardiologist located anywhere in Texas. For example, the clinician could be located in another city or region of the state while holding the active license required to serve the patient.
Virtual visits, scheduling, payment, clinical communication, and medical services occur through the clinician's own practice workflow after a match is accepted. HrtX24 itself does not deliver medical care.
What HrtX24 checks before routing a request
The clinician has completed the applicable HrtX24 verification process.
The clinician has an eligible active Texas license record.
The clinician selected cardiology as an applicable specialty.
The clinician is participating and available to receive matching requests.
What HrtX24 does not determine
HrtX24 does not operate as a medical practice, diagnose medical conditions, recommend treatment, evaluate urgency, or determine whether a particular clinician is appropriate for an individual patient.
HrtX24's role is limited to facilitating an anonymous match request between a patient and an eligible participating clinician.
Information not requested by HrtX24
The matching form is not intended for clinical communication. Do not submit symptoms, diagnoses, medications, test results, medical records, insurance information, or other health details.
When to seek emergency help instead
HrtX24 is not appropriate for urgent or emergency medical needs. Call 911 immediately for severe or sudden symptoms, including symptoms that may represent a heart attack, stroke, dangerous breathing problem, loss of consciousness, or another emergency.
