How telehealth prescribing works in Vermont
Vermont permits licensed providers to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth, including synchronous video and store-and-forward (asynchronous) review. Under 26 V.S.A. § 3053a and the Board of Medical Practice telemedicine policy, prescribing via telemedicine is at the provider's professional discretion provided the standard of care is met.
Vermont permits telemedicine broadly under 26 V.S.A. § 3053a and the Vermont Board of Medical Practice Policy on Telemedicine. A health care provider licensed in Vermont may prescribe medications to a patient after performing an appropriate examination in person, through telemedicine, or by the use of instrumentation and diagnostic equipment through which images and medical records may be transmitted electronically. Vermont law explicitly recognizes store-and-forward (asynchronous) telehealth, defined as an asynchronous transmission of medical information reviewed at a later date by a provider at a distant site. Prescribing via telemedicine is at the provider's professional discretion, carrying the same professional accountability as in-person prescriptions. Vermont also requires telemedicine providers to post licensure or identifying information about their providers publicly (Vermont Board of Medical Practice Policy on Telemedicine). Pallas publishes its clinical partners (Lion MD and CareValidate), provider leadership, and NPI numbers — with direct links to the federal NPPES NPI Registry — on our clinical disclosures page at pallashealth.co/clinical, where the full prescribing roster's licensure can be verified. Vermont participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), which streamlines licensing for qualifying out-of-state providers. Every Pallas clinician who treats Vermont patients holds an active Vermont license or a qualifying compact license. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Vermont's separate Prescription Monitoring System 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.
Insurance
Medicaid & insurance in Vermont
Limited coverage
Vermont Medicaid covers GLP-1 agonists including Wegovy for clinically appropriate needs. However, the Vermont Medicaid State Plan has historically excluded weight-loss-only indications, and coverage may require documented medical necessity beyond obesity alone (e.g. type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk). Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay service, so Medicaid rules do not affect our pricing.
Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service. Medicaid and private insurance do not apply to our prescriptions; pricing is flat and disclosed up front.
