How the MontanaDoc visit works

The MontanaDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A Montana-licensed physician (MT) reviews whether chronic pain treatment is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in Montana. That prescription is not a referral to a Spokane or Denver clinic used because the drive feels shorter.

Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.

What happens next

If you want to know whether chronic pain treatment is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. MontanaDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
