How telehealth prescribing works in Missouri
Missouri 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.
Missouri requires any provider prescribing to a Missouri resident to hold an active Missouri medical license. Under Missouri's telehealth statute (RSMo 191.1145) and Board of Registration for the Healing Arts rules, a licensed provider may use telehealth to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s — including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review — provided the standard of care is met and a proper physician-patient relationship is established. Every Pallas provider who treats Missouri patients holds an active Missouri medical license. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Missouri's separate controlled-substance telemedicine requirements do not apply — but our providers still document a complete history, screen for contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and schedule follow-up to monitor response and titrate the dose.

MO HealthNet covers certain GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Weight-management coverage is limited, and compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so MO HealthNet rules do not affect our pricing.
