Prescription Policy

Physicians providing consultations for TelaDoc members offer prescriptions for a wide range of products that deliver direct medicinal value. These include, but are not limited to, drug classes such as antibiotics and antihistamines. Convenience prescriptions for maintenance medicines may also be obtained in cases where a member is in transition to a new insurance plan or doctor.

It is important to note that TelaDoc is not a drug fulfillment warehouse. In the event a physician does prescribe medication, he/she will usually limit the supply to no more than thirty days. Patients with chronic illnesses should visit their primary care physicians or other specialists for extended care.

TelaDoc physicians do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by the DEA and/or those which may be harmful (potential for abuse or addiction), including narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, lifestyle drugs, and others.
