How telehealth prescribing works in Michigan
Michigan permits licensed providers to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review.
Michigan requires any provider writing a prescription to a Michigan resident to hold an active Michigan medical license — an out-of-state license is not enough. Under the Michigan Public Health Code (Article 15) and Board of Medicine telehealth guidance, 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 Michigan patients is individually licensed by the Michigan Board of Medicine, regulated by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Michigan's separate MAPS Prescription Monitoring Program and controlled-substance telemedicine requirements don't add friction here, but our providers still document a complete history, screen for contraindications, and schedule follow-up visits to monitor response and titrate the dose.
