For direct specialty care practices

A free patient-access channel for direct specialty cardiology in Texas

HrtX24 supports cardiologists developing direct specialty care models in Texas by providing a limited matching layer between patients seeking access and verified participating clinicians.

Participation and patient volume are not guaranteed. HrtX24 does not employ clinicians, provide medical care, process professional fees, or replace the clinician's practice systems.

Make specialist access more direct

Traditional specialty access often depends on complex referral networks, payer rules, local availability, and fragmented scheduling. Direct specialty care gives physicians greater control over how patients enter the practice.

HrtX24 does not replace a direct specialty practice. It helps eligible patients discover participating cardiologists and submit an anonymous request based on state and specialty.

The clinician retains responsibility for service descriptions, fees, scheduling, clinical intake, documentation, testing, treatment, and follow-up.

Simple matching before the clinical relationship begins

Patients in Texas can request cardiology access without submitting clinical information.

Eligible participating clinicians may accept a request based on their own availability.

The clinician or practice then conducts its standard intake and determines whether the requested service can be provided.

How clinician matching works

  1. 1. Create or claim a clinician profile.

    Submit the limited information required for clinician identity, specialty, and state-license verification.

  2. 2. Control whether you are accepting requests.

    Participating clinicians can indicate whether they are currently available to receive matching opportunities.

  3. 3. Review and accept requests selectively.

    A matching request is not a medical intake. Decide whether to accept based on your availability and practice capacity.

  4. 4. Continue through your own practice.

    Scheduling, payment, clinical intake, telemedicine, documentation, testing, treatment, and follow-up occur through your own workflow.

Statewide access in Texas

A participating clinician may receive eligible matching requests from patients located anywhere in Texas, subject to applicable licensure, verification, specialty, participation, and availability.

This may include requests from patients in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, Plano, and McAllen, as well as other communities throughout Texas.

Matching is based on the patient's state

A clinician does not need to be physically located in the same city as the patient. Applicable state licensure, clinician eligibility, specialty, participation, and availability determine whether a request may be routed.
