Start with medical oversight

Verify the prescriber is licensed in your state and ask how fast you can reach them when something feels off. Same-day messaging is the floor, not the ceiling.

Demand pharmacy transparency

A provider should be able to name the pharmacy fulfilling your compound. If they cannot, walk.

Check that pricing is actually flat

Read the fine print on dose-titration pricing. A flat-sounding plan can hide $80/month bumps as your dose increases.

Confirm state coverage and license validity

Most providers claim all-50-states but a few have stale claims. A 10-second LegitScript search will tell you the truth.

Ask about patient experience tradeoffs

Messaging-only is fine for most people. Video visits are nice but cost more time and money.

Read the disclosure footer

If a provider does not publish prescriber names, pharmacy names, or pricing, the rest of the marketing is opinion.
