How can providers prescribe and manage medications online?

One of the biggest benefits of telemedicine is medication management. Instead of driving to the doctor’s office, you can discuss your medications with a doctor or other healthcare provider through a virtual visit. In most cases, an online doctor can set you up with a new prescription or medication refill during a virtual appointment.?

During a virtual appointment, the online doctor can assess your situation and determine if a prescription is needed. They can also review existing prescriptions and make any necessary changes.?

If it’s decided that a prescription is necessary, your provider can send the prescription to your pharmacy to be filled. Many times, your provider can recommend online prescription services or?a mail-order pharmacy. In some cases, telehealth platforms operate their own pharmacy, keeping everything in-house. If your regular healthcare provider offers online visits, the office may partner with an online pharmacy.?

That said, some medical situations require immediate access to medication. In that case, your healthcare provider will write the prescription during the appointment but send it to a local pharmacy or pharmacy of your choice for in-person pick-up.

Some platforms will allow you to request an online prescription refill. If your provider approves a refill or prescribes you a new prescription, you can choose to receive your medication through a mail-order pharmacy or same-day delivery service for your convenience.
