Because Get It Prescribed uses an asynchronous, written review rather than a scheduled visit, your timeline depends on how quickly the provider completes their evaluation and how long fulfillment and shipping take once a prescription is issued.

Assessment and payment

Completing your health assessment and reviewing your personalized cost estimate typically takes about 5-10 minutes. You pay the one-time $50 provider consultation fee at this stage, along with the estimated cost of any medication you're requesting.

Provider review

Once submitted, a licensed provider in your state reviews your assessment. Most reviews are completed within 24-48 hours. If your case needs clarification, the provider may send follow-up questions, which extends the timeline until you respond and the provider can finish their evaluation. Responding promptly to any message is the single biggest factor within your control.

Decision and fulfillment

You're typically notified of the outcome the same day the review is completed. If a prescription is issued, it's sent to a partner compounding pharmacy for preparation and shipping. If it isn't, your medication charge is refunded, and any next-step guidance the provider offers is shared with you.

Shipping

Once your medication ships from the pharmacy, delivery generally takes about 3-7 business days. You'll receive tracking information so you can follow your order's progress.

Typical overall timeline

| Stage | Typical time | | --- | --- | | Account creation & assessment | 5-10 minutes | | Provider review | 24-48 hours | | Prescription decision | Same day review completes | | Fulfillment & shipping | 3-7 business days |

What can extend the timeline

• Incomplete or inconsistent information in your assessment, which may prompt follow-up questions
• Delayed responses to a provider's follow-up message
• Your state's specific requirements for written versus live review — check state availability for details
• Standard shipping carrier variability
• Time between fulfillment and pharmacy dispatch on busy days

Why most of the wait is out of your hands

Because there is no fixed appointment slot, most of the time in this process is provider review and shipping rather than anything you actively do, which is why responding quickly to any follow-up message matters more than how fast you complete the initial assessment.

How to help your review move quickly

Complete your assessment thoroughly the first time, list all current medications and supplements accurately, and check your email or account regularly in case the provider reaches out. The how it works page has a step-by-step visual breakdown of this same timeline if you'd like to see it before you start.

When telehealth isn't the right option

An asynchronous written review is not designed for urgent or emergency situations. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room rather than waiting on an online review.

Related questions

Can I pay for faster shipping?

Expedited shipping options may reduce the delivery portion of the timeline, though the provider review itself still generally takes 24-48 hours regardless of shipping speed, since that time reflects the provider's independent clinical evaluation.

What happens if the provider doesn't approve my request?

You'll be notified of the decision, along with any next-step guidance the provider offers. Your medication charge is refunded in that case; the $50 consultation fee covers the provider's evaluation and is not refundable.

Does the review happen faster for ivermectin than mebendazole?

No. The same $50 provider consultation fee and general review timeline apply whether you're requesting ivermectin, mebendazole, or both, since a single provider evaluation covers either or both medications.

Is Get It Prescribed available in my state?

The service is currently available in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia; some states require a live phone or video visit, while others allow a written review. Check state availability to confirm requirements where you live before starting your assessment.
