How telehealth prescribing works in South Carolina
South Carolina 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.
South Carolina requires any provider prescribing to a South Carolina resident to hold an active South Carolina medical license. Under the South Carolina Telemedicine Act (S.C. Code Ann. §40-47-37) and Board of Medical Examiners guidance, 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 the encounter is properly documented. Every Pallas provider who treats South Carolina patients holds an active South Carolina medical license. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so South Carolina's separate controlled-substance telemedicine requirements do not apply — but our providers still take 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.
