How telehealth prescribing works in Minnesota
Minnesota 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 under the Minnesota Telehealth Act.
Minnesota requires any provider writing a prescription to a Minnesota resident to hold an active Minnesota medical license — out-of-state licensure is not sufficient. Under Minn. Stat. § 147.033 and § 62A.673 (the Minnesota Telehealth Act), 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 Minnesota patients is individually licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Minnesota'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
Minnesota GLP-1 questions
Can I get semaglutide in Minnesota without an in-person visit?+
Yes. Under the Minnesota Telehealth Act, a licensed Minnesota provider may 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 Minnesota Medical Assistance cover GLP-1s for weight loss?+
Minnesota Medical Assistance covers GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Coverage for weight-management indications is limited and step therapy applies. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay service, so Medical Assistance coverage does not apply to our prescriptions.
Is compounded tirzepatide legal in Minnesota?+
Yes. Compounded tirzepatide prescribed by a Minnesota-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.
How fast does Pallas ship to the Twin Cities or northern Minnesota?+
Most Minnesota patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the metro suburbs typically ship fastest; Duluth, the Iron Range, and rural northern ZIP codes may take an extra day.
