How telehealth prescribing works in Massachusetts
Massachusetts 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.
Massachusetts requires any provider writing a prescription to a Massachusetts resident to hold an active Massachusetts medical license — out-of-state licensure is not sufficient. Under Chapter 260 of the Acts of 2020 (the 2020 telehealth law) and Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine 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. Every Pallas clinician who treats Massachusetts patients is individually licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Massachusetts's separate Prescription 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
Massachusetts GLP-1 questions
Can I get semaglutide in Massachusetts without an in-person visit?+
Yes. Massachusetts law allows a licensed Massachusetts provider to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide through telehealth — including asynchronous review of your intake — as long as the standard of care is met. You do not need a prior in-person visit.
Does MassHealth cover Wegovy® for weight loss?+
MassHealth covers GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes and, with prior authorization and step therapy, for chronic weight management. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so MassHealth rules do not affect our pricing.
Can a doctor licensed in another state prescribe to me in Massachusetts?+
No. Under Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine rules, the prescribing provider must hold an active Massachusetts medical license when treating a patient located in Massachusetts. Every Pallas clinician who treats Massachusetts patients is individually licensed in Massachusetts.
How fast does Pallas ship to Boston or western Massachusetts?+
Most Massachusetts patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, and the Route 128 corridor typically ship fastest; the Berkshires and Cape Cod may take an extra day.
