How a Telehealth Consultation Works

You typically complete an online health assessment, then speak with a provider by phone or video. The provider reviews your medical history and determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate. Requesting a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.

Medication Delivery

If a provider prescribes medication, it is often shipped to your door from a licensed pharmacy. Shipping methods and timing vary. Medication, shipping, and supplies may cost extra depending on your selected plan.

Ongoing Support

Telehealth programs often include follow-up check-ins, progress tracking, and text or message support. The level of support depends on your selected membership. Individual needs and results vary.

Is Telehealth Right for You?

Telehealth is convenient for people with busy schedules or limited local access to clinics. A licensed provider determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate. No specific outcome is guaranteed.
