New Jersey residents can now access GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide through telehealth — without crossing the Hudson, scheduling weeks out at a Bergen or Essex County clinic, or fighting with insurance. Pallas Health pairs you with a board-certified provider licensed in New Jersey who reviews your intake, confirms eligibility on a brief video visit, and if appropriate sends a prescription to a compounding pharmacy that ships to any New Jersey address in a few business days.

How telehealth prescribing works in New Jersey
New Jersey generally requires a synchronous audio-and-video encounter (or an in-person visit) to establish the provider-patient relationship before a new medication is prescribed, under the New Jersey Telemedicine and Telehealth Act.
New Jersey has stricter telehealth prescribing rules than several neighboring states. Under the New Jersey Telemedicine and Telehealth Act (P.L. 2017, c. 117) and State Board of Medical Examiners regulations, a provider generally must conduct a real-time audiovisual encounter — or an in-person exam — to establish the provider-patient relationship before issuing a new prescription. Asynchronous-only review of an intake form is not sufficient. Every Pallas provider who treats New Jersey patients holds an active New Jersey medical license and will schedule a brief live video visit as part of intake. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so New Jersey's separate NJPMP 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
New Jersey GLP-1 questions
Do I need a video visit to get GLP-1s through telehealth in New Jersey?+
Yes. The New Jersey Telemedicine and Telehealth Act generally requires a real-time audiovisual encounter to establish the provider-patient relationship before a new prescription. Your Pallas intake includes a brief video visit with a New Jersey-licensed provider — usually under 15 minutes.
Does NJ FamilyCare cover Wegovy® or Zepbound®?+
NJ FamilyCare covers certain GLP-1s for FDA-approved diabetes indications with prior authorization. Coverage for weight-management indications is limited. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so Medicaid rules do not govern our pricing.
Can a doctor licensed in another state prescribe to me in New Jersey?+
No. Under State Board of Medical Examiners rules, the prescribing provider must hold an active New Jersey medical license when treating a patient located in New Jersey. Every Pallas clinician who treats New Jersey patients is individually licensed in New Jersey.
Is compounded semaglutide legal in New Jersey?+
Yes. Compounded semaglutide prescribed by a New Jersey-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.
