How do I know if an online telehealth program is legitimate?

1. Verify the LegitScript seal

LegitScript certifies online pharmacies and telehealth companies; major ad platforms require it for many prescription-drug advertisers. A real seal links to a verification page on legitscript.com. A seal image that does not link, or links elsewhere, is not proof. You can also search the company in LegitScript’s public directory.

See our LegitScript check for the status of every program we track.

2. Check the clinicians are licensed in your state

A clinician must be licensed in the state where you are located during the visit. Legitimate programs say which states they serve and which medical group employs the clinicians.

3. Know which pharmacy fills the prescription

Ask for the pharmacy name and confirm it is licensed (your state board of pharmacy lists licensees). For compounded medication, ask whether it comes from a 503A or 503B pharmacy.

Red flags

• No prescription or clinician review required for a prescription drug.
• No company name, address or medical group anywhere on the site.
• Prices far below every other program, or payment only by wire, gift card or crypto.
• Claims that a compounded drug is “generic Ozempic” or FDA-approved.
