How telehealth prescribing works in Maryland
Maryland 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.
Maryland requires any provider prescribing to a Maryland resident to hold an active Maryland medical license. Under Maryland Board of Physicians telehealth regulations, 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 adequate to establish diagnoses and identify contraindications, provided the standard of care is met. Maryland is a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), which streamlines licensing for qualifying out-of-state providers, but does not waive the Maryland-license requirement. Every Pallas clinician who treats Maryland patients is individually licensed in Maryland; 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 Maryland'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.
Insurance
Medicaid & insurance in Maryland
Not covered for weight loss
Maryland Medicaid does not currently cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss for most enrollees. Wegovy is covered for Medicaid participants who are overweight or obese and have cardiovascular disease, or for adults with non-cirrhotic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Zepbound is covered for obese adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Pending legislation (SB 496) could expand broader obesity-indication coverage starting July 2026. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay service, so Medicaid rules do not affect our pricing.
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
Maryland GLP-1 questions
Yes. Maryland allows licensed providers to prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide via telehealth, including asynchronous review of your intake when the standard of care is met. Most Maryland patients complete everything by secure message; your provider may request a brief video visit only if your history calls for it.
Maryland Medicaid covers Wegovy for enrollees who are overweight or obese with cardiovascular disease, and Zepbound for obese adults with obstructive sleep apnea. General weight-loss coverage is not available for most enrollees, though pending legislation could expand this. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so Medicaid rules do not affect our pricing.
Yes. Compounded semaglutide prescribed by a Maryland-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.
Most Maryland patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Baltimore, the D.C. suburbs (Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda), and Annapolis typically ship fastest; Eastern Shore and Western Maryland ZIP codes may take an extra day.
