How telehealth prescribing works in Ohio
Ohio 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.
Ohio requires a licensed Ohio provider to write any prescription for an Ohio resident — an out-of-state license is not sufficient. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4731-11 and related State Medical Board of Ohio telehealth guidance, licensed providers may use telehealth to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s, including via synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review, provided the standard of care is met and documentation is appropriate. Every Pallas provider who treats Ohio patients holds an active Ohio medical license. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Ohio's additional controlled-substance telemedicine requirements don't apply — but our providers still conduct a complete history, screen for contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and follow up after initiation to monitor response and titrate the dose.
