How do I get started?
- Register – Set up an account by providing your name, email, and password.
- Complete medical questionnaire – Answer a few medical questions that will be reviewed by a healthcare provider.
- Pay for your provider review – Finish checking out and provide payment information.

- Get Dexcom CGM – If approved, pick up your prescription at the pharmacy of your choice or have it delivered to your home.
How does the online consultation process work?
After registering, you will be asked to complete an online medical assessment to provide more information about your medical history, medical conditions, and any medications you are currently taking.
Next, one of our healthcare providers will conduct a video, audio, or digital telehealth consultation. He or she will review the medical information you provide to determine whether a prescription is appropriate for you.
If approved, you may pick up your prescription at the pharmacy of your choice or have Dexcom CGM delivered directly to your home.
What are the different types of consultations?
All states require some interaction between a healthcare provider and patient in order to prescribe a medication, however regulations governing the type of interaction or consultation differ from state to state. Depending on the state where we are shipping your medication, you will be required to have one of three types of consultations: audio, video or digital consultation.
In all cases, the process is simple and easy to follow. Once a prescription is approved, we process payment and your medication will be safely and discreetly shipped to you.
Video & Audio Consultations
If your state requires a telehealth video or audio consultation, you will be directed to schedule a visit by choosing from a list of healthcare providers who are licensed in your state.
You will receive an email with a link to join the telehealth visit. At the scheduled time, click on the link directly in the email or log in to your account and click “Start Visit”. Once you have logged in, you will be in the waiting room until the scheduled start time. The provider will review the medical information you provided, verify important medical information, and address any specific questions you may have.
If you need to reschedule, you can do so in your account by clicking “Reschedule” to select a different date and time. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
Note: If your state requires a video or audio consultation, you must complete it for your prescription to be processed.
Digital Consultations
If your state requires a digital consultation, you’re able to interact with one of our licensed healthcare providers without an audio or video interaction. If you are in a state that allows for this type of interaction, you will be asked to answer a number of questions about your medical history online and a healthcare provider licensed in your state will review your responses to determine whether or not a prescription is appropriate for you.
After completing checkout, you will be directed to select a provider from the available list to review your information. Our providers generally review your medical file within 24 hours. If necessary, they will follow up by email or phone to determine if a prescription is right for you.
