Get It Prescribed does not accept or bill health insurance. Every consultation and medication order is paid directly out of pocket: a one-time $50 provider consultation fee, plus the per-unit cost of any medication your provider prescribes. This direct-pay structure is intentional, and it's worth understanding what it does and doesn't mean for you.

What cash-pay means here

Because there's no insurance claim submitted on your behalf, there's no prior authorization to wait on, no formulary restriction limiting what a provider can consider, and no explanation-of-benefits statement mailed to your home. You see the consultation fee and estimated medication cost during your assessment before you submit payment, and that's what you're charged.

What this does not include

Cash-pay is not the same as insurance reimbursement. Get It Prescribed does not submit claims to your insurer, and it cannot guarantee that your plan will reimburse you for any part of the cost. If your plan allows for out-of-network telehealth or pharmacy reimbursement, that process is between you and your insurer, and terms vary widely by plan.

The two charges you'll see

| Charge | Amount | When it applies | |---|---|---| | Provider consultation | $50 (one-time) | Every prescription request, regardless of medication count | | Ivermectin 24mg tablet | $3.00 each | If prescribed, quantity set by provider | | Mebendazole 222mg capsule | $3.50 each | If prescribed, quantity set by provider |

Details on how quantities are estimated appear on the pricing page.

How refunds work without insurance

Because there's no insurer in the loop, refund terms are set directly by Get It Prescribed rather than by a claims process. The $50 consultation fee is non-refundable, since it pays for the provider's clinical review, which happens regardless of the outcome. If a medication is not prescribed, its cost is refunded. Check the checkout terms for the current policy language before you submit an order.

Why some telehealth services skip insurance

Billing insurance for a visit typically requires prior authorization steps, network contracting, and claims processing that add time and administrative overhead on both sides. A cash-pay model removes those steps, which is one reason some direct-to-consumer telehealth services — including this one — operate this way. It also means your treatment request isn't routed through an insurance company's utilization review before your provider can respond.

What to check with your own plan

If you want to explore reimbursement, request an itemized receipt after your order and contact your insurance plan directly to ask about out-of-network telehealth or pharmacy benefits. Rules differ by plan, and Get It Prescribed cannot make promises about what your specific plan will or won't reimburse. If you're weighing this against paying a co-pay at a traditional in-network provider, it's worth comparing the full price here on pricing against your plan's specific costs before deciding.

Related questions

Can I submit a receipt to my insurance company myself?

You can request an itemized receipt after your order to submit to your insurer, but whether it's reimbursed depends entirely on your specific plan's out-of-network and telehealth benefits. Get It Prescribed doesn't submit claims on your behalf and can't guarantee any reimbursement outcome.

Does not billing insurance mean the price is higher?

Not necessarily. The $50 consultation fee and per-unit medication prices are fixed and shown upfront on the pricing page, so you can compare them directly to what you'd pay out of pocket, including any co-pay, at a traditional provider.

Will my insurance company be notified about my order?

No. Since no claim is submitted, your insurer has no record of your consultation or prescription through this service unless you choose to submit a receipt yourself for potential reimbursement.

Can I use an HSA or FSA card instead of insurance?

HSA and FSA eligibility depends on your plan administrator's rules; see the HSA/FSA article for details on how to confirm eligibility before you order.

Does cash-pay mean the price could change after I submit my assessment?

No. The $50 consultation fee and the estimated medication cost shown during your assessment reflect the current per-unit pricing on the pricing page. If your provider's final protocol differs from the initial estimate, your cost is adjusted accordingly before your order ships, and you're shown the updated total.
