Is Get It Prescribed a legitimate medical service?

Quick Answer
Yes. Independent, state-licensed providers review every request; prescriptions ship from licensed pharmacies. We don't practice medicine.
Get It Prescribed is a technology platform that connects you with independent, state-licensed healthcare providers for an online medical evaluation. We do not practice medicine ourselves — the providers you're matched with make all clinical decisions, and they only issue a prescription if they determine it's clinically appropriate for you. Medications are dispensed by licensed, independent partner pharmacies, not by us directly.
How the model works
When you complete an assessment through how it works, your information goes to a provider who is licensed in the state where you'll receive care. That provider reviews your health history and current symptoms, may ask follow-up questions, and decides whether to prescribe, decline, or recommend a different path — including in-person care when that's the safer option. This structure is described on our Our Standards page: appropriate screening, follow-up questions when something is unclear, and safety-focused decisions where not every request results in a prescription.
What "legitimate" means in telehealth
A legitimate telehealth service has three things in place, and you can verify each independently:
- Licensed providers. Providers must hold an active license in your state — see can a doctor prescribe out of state for how cross-state licensing works. You can confirm any individual license through your state's medical board.
- Accredited, licensed pharmacies. Our pharmacy partners are independent businesses that are accredited and licensed in the states they service, as outlined on Our Standards.
- Licensed dispensing. Prescriptions are filled only by licensed pharmacy partners; details on each medication are available through resources such as the ivermectin medication page.
A quick comparison
| Claim | What actually happens | | --- | --- | | "Guaranteed prescription" | Not offered — a licensed provider decides, and some requests are declined | | "We practice medicine" | We don't; independent providers do | | "Any pharmacy will do" | Medications are filled only by licensed, accredited partner pharmacies | | "Available everywhere instantly" | Available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with state-specific consult rules |
Why some requests aren't approved
Because a real clinical review happens on every request, not every assessment ends in a prescription. If a provider determines that telehealth isn't appropriate for your situation, they may ask for more information or recommend you see an in-person clinician instead. This is a feature of a legitimate service, not a flaw — it means decisions are based on your actual health information rather than a fixed script.
Verifying us yourself
You don't have to take our word for anything. Before or after you use the service, you can:
- Check your assigned provider's license status with your state medical board.
- Review the state availability page to see whether your state requires a live (synchronous) visit or allows a written (asynchronous) review.
- Read our pricing page, which lists consultation and medication costs plainly, with no guarantees of approval.
- Review the eligibility and provider review process to understand exactly what happens after you submit an assessment.
What we don't do
We don't issue prescriptions without a provider review, promise approvals in advance, or source medication from unlicensed pharmacies. If you're comparing options, the ivermectin vs. mebendazole comparison page is a useful example of how we present medication information factually rather than promotionally.
Related questions
Do I get to pick my own provider?
You're matched with an independent, state-licensed provider based on where you live and the type of consult your state requires. You don't choose a specific individual, but every provider in the network is licensed to practice in your state and reviews your case directly before any prescribing decision is made.
What happens if a provider declines my request?
The provider will explain, where possible, why telehealth isn't appropriate for your situation and may suggest an in-person evaluation. You can review the eligibility and provider review page for more detail on this process.
Can I use my insurance?
Coverage varies and is addressed in our pricing information rather than this article. Check the pricing page for current details on consultation and medication costs.
Is this the same as an in-person doctor's visit?
No. It's a telehealth evaluation performed by an independent, licensed provider. Some states require a live video or phone visit, while others allow a written review, as explained on the availability page. Providers can always refer you to in-person care if that's more appropriate.
When you are ready to start, you can get mebendazole prescribed online — an independent licensed provider reviews every request and prescribes only when it is clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are not guaranteed.
