How telehealth prescribing works in Colorado
Colorado permits licensed providers to use telehealth to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review when the standard of care is met.
Colorado requires any provider writing a prescription to a Colorado resident to hold an active Colorado medical license — out-of-state licensure is not sufficient. Under C.R.S. § 12-240-138 and Colorado Medical Board telehealth policy, licensed providers may use telemedicine to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications, including via synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review when the standard of care is met. Colorado is also a full member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), which streamlines licensure for qualifying providers but does not waive the Colorado-license requirement to treat Colorado patients. Every Pallas clinician who treats Colorado patients is individually licensed by the Colorado Medical Board. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Colorado's separate Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and controlled-substance telemedicine requirements don't add friction here, but our providers still document a complete history, screen for contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and schedule follow-up visits to monitor response and titrate the dose.

FAQ
Colorado GLP-1 questions
Can I get GLP-1 medications via telehealth in Colorado?+
Yes. Colorado law allows a licensed Colorado provider to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide through telehealth, including asynchronous review of your intake when the standard of care is met.
Does Health First Colorado cover Wegovy® or Zepbound®?+
Health First Colorado covers GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Coverage for weight-management indications is limited. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so Medicaid rules do not affect our pricing.
Is compounded semaglutide legal in Colorado?+
Yes. Compounded semaglutide prescribed by a Colorado-licensed provider and dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy is legal when prepared for a specific patient with a documented clinical need. Pallas works only with U.S. state-licensed 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies.
How fast does Pallas ship in Colorado?+
Most Colorado patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and the Front Range typically ship fastest; mountain and Western Slope ZIP codes may take an extra day.
