Standards
The rules we hold ourselves to, written down.
Telehealth that prescribes is a regulated business, and most of the ways it goes wrong are ways it goes wrong quietly — a badge nobody checked, a word that implies a medical judgment nobody made, a claim with no source behind it. Here is our position on each, including the parts that aren't finished.
- In progress
LegitScript certification
Google, Meta and TikTok will not run ads for a telehealth business that prescribes without it, and the certification reviews licensure, pharmacy relationships, prescribing practice and site claims. Application is in preparation; it takes several weeks to a few months. No paid acquisition begins before it is granted.

State licensure gates the visit
A provider may only treat a patient located in a state where that provider is licensed. It is the first question of every visit, before any health information is collected, and an unlicensed state ends the visit immediately rather than after twenty questions. The same check runs again on the server, so it holds even if the browser is bypassed.

No controlled substances, ever
Our providers do not prescribe controlled substances of any DEA schedule through this platform — no phentermine or other scheduled weight-loss stimulants, no testosterone, no benzodiazepines, no stimulants. Nothing in our catalogue is a scheduled drug, and if that ever changed it would require DEA-audited prescribing software we would have to buy first. Naming the drugs is deliberate: it is more useful to someone shopping for them than a general policy line.

We do not advertise compounded copies of available drugs
Compounding is legitimate for combinations that no manufacturer sells — a topical pairing, a blended formula. It is not legitimate for copies of drugs you can already buy, which is why we do not offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Where a treatment here is compounded it says so on its own page, alongside the fact that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.

No medical status without a provider
Nothing in this product asserts that you have been assessed, approved, or found eligible. A completed intake is 'ready for provider review' and says exactly that. The previous site stamped 'Assessed ✓' on medications in a shopping cart; that word does not exist in this codebase.

No cart, anywhere
Prescription medication cannot be added to a basket and checked out. Every call to action on this site leads to a visit. That is an architectural decision, not a setting — there is no checkout to turn on.

Advertising claims discipline
We never say “FDA approved” as a badge. FDA labelling is cited as a source where it is the source. Efficacy claims require a number, a comparator and a citation, or they do not appear — which is why this site describes how medications work rather than promising what they will do for you.

Original words and pictures only
Every line of copy and every image here is ours. No competitor's product photography, no lifted marketing copy, no registered marks belonging to anyone else. Our imagery is unbranded by design — the vessels you see depict a form, never a manufacturer's product.

No health information in URLs or analytics
Intake answers never enter a URL, a query string, or an analytics event. Funnel measurement records step identifiers only — never an answer, never an email, never a condition tied to a person.
- Before launch
HIPAA posture and business associate agreements
Any vendor touching protected health information — hosting, database, email, pharmacy — needs a signed BAA before real patient data flows. Vendors are selected on that basis, and the list is finalised as part of launch readiness rather than after it.
- Before launch
Medical review of every question we ask
The intake question sets, the contraindication knockouts and the decline language are written to mirror real screening practice, and they are marked in the code as requiring sign-off by a licensed physician before a single real patient sees them.
Where this applies
Provisional48 states at launch
A provider reviews your visit only if they are licensed where you are. The coverage map is published state by state on where we operate, and it is currently marked provisional while our founding physicians complete credentialing.

Tell us, and we'll fix it in public
If any claim on this site is inaccurate, any price is stale, or any safety information is incomplete, we want to know. Corrections are made to the page itself, not buried in a changelog nobody reads.
