Pallas Health pairs you with a board-certified provider licensed in Alabama who reviews your intake — by secure message in most cases — and, if appropriate, sends a prescription to a compounding pharmacy that ships to any Alabama address in 2–3 business days.

How telehealth prescribing works in Alabama
Alabama permits licensed providers to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth — including asynchronous review of your intake — when the standard of care is met.
Alabama requires any provider prescribing to an Alabama resident to hold an active Alabama medical license. Under the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners' telehealth rules (Ala. Admin. Code ch. 540-X-15), a licensed provider may use telehealth to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s — including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review — provided the standard of care is met and the encounter is properly documented. Every Pallas provider who treats Alabama patients holds an active Alabama medical license. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Alabama's separate controlled-substance telemedicine requirements do not apply — but our providers still take a complete history, screen for contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and follow up after initiation to monitor response and titrate the dose.

Limited coverage
Alabama Medicaid covers GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Weight-management indications are generally not covered, and compounded GLP-1s are not covered.
Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service. Medicaid and private insurance do not apply to our prescriptions; pricing is flat and disclosed up front.

FAQ
Alabama GLP-1 questions
Usually no. Alabama allows a licensed provider to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide through telehealth, including asynchronous review of your intake. Most Alabama patients complete everything by secure message; a provider may request a brief video visit only if your history calls for it.
Yes. Compounded semaglutide prescribed by an Alabama-licensed provider and dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy is legal when prepared for an individual patient with a documented clinical need. Pallas works only with U.S. state-licensed 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies.
Alabama Medicaid covers GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Weight-management indications are generally not covered, and compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay service, so Medicaid rules do not apply to our prescriptions.
Most Alabama patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Birmingham, Huntsville, and other metros typically ship fastest; rural addresses may take an extra day.
