Georgia residents can now access GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide through telehealth — without the months-long wait at metro Atlanta obesity clinics or long drives from rural Georgia counties. Pallas Health pairs you with a board-certified provider licensed in Georgia who reviews your intake, confirms eligibility on a brief video visit, and if appropriate sends a prescription to a compounding pharmacy that ships to any Georgia address in a few business days.

How telehealth prescribing works in Georgia
Georgia generally requires a real-time video (or in-person) examination to establish the provider-patient relationship before a new prescription is written, under Georgia Composite Medical Board Rule 360-3-.07.
Georgia has stricter telehealth prescribing rules than several neighboring states. Under Georgia Composite Medical Board Rule 360-3-.07, a provider generally must conduct a real-time examination — typically via synchronous video — to establish the provider-patient relationship before issuing a new prescription. Asynchronous-only review of an intake form is not, on its own, sufficient. Every Pallas provider who treats Georgia patients holds an active Georgia medical license and will schedule a short live video encounter as part of intake. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Georgia's separate controlled-substance telemedicine rules 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 arrange follow-up visits to monitor response, titrate dose, and manage side effects.

FAQ
Georgia GLP-1 questions
Do I need a video visit to get GLP-1s through telehealth in Georgia?+
Yes. Georgia Composite Medical Board Rule 360-3-.07 generally requires a real-time examination — typically synchronous video — to establish the provider-patient relationship before a new prescription. Your Pallas intake includes a brief video visit with a Georgia-licensed provider, usually under 15 minutes.
Does Georgia Medicaid cover Wegovy® or Zepbound®?+
Georgia Medicaid covers certain GLP-1s for FDA-approved diabetes indications with prior authorization, and coverage for weight-loss indications is limited. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so Medicaid coverage rules do not affect our pricing.
Can a doctor licensed in another state prescribe to me in Georgia?+
No. Under Georgia Composite Medical Board rules, the prescribing provider must hold an active Georgia medical license when treating a patient located in Georgia. Every Pallas clinician who treats Georgia patients is individually licensed in Georgia.
How fast does Pallas ship GLP-1 medication in Georgia?+
Most Georgia patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, and other metro ZIP codes typically ship fastest; rural Georgia addresses may take an extra day.
