How telehealth prescribing works in Georgia
Georgia 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.
Georgia requires any provider prescribing to a Georgia resident to hold an active Georgia medical license. Under Georgia Composite Medical Board telehealth guidance, a licensed provider may establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review, provided the standard of care is met. Every Pallas provider who treats Georgia patients holds an active Georgia medical license; depending on your history, a provider may follow up by message, video, or request additional labs before prescribing. 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.
