How telehealth prescribing works in Virginia
Virginia permits licensed providers to use telehealth to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review.
Virginia requires any provider writing a prescription to a Virginia resident to hold an active Virginia medical license — out-of-state licensure is not sufficient. Under the Code of Virginia §54.1-3303 and Virginia Board of Medicine telehealth guidance, licensed providers may use telehealth to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications, including via synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review when the standard of care is met. Every Pallas clinician who treats Virginia patients is individually licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Virginia's separate Prescription Monitoring Program and controlled-substance telemedicine requirements don't add friction here, but our providers still take a complete history, screen for contraindications, and schedule follow-up visits to monitor response and titrate the dose.

FAQ
Virginia GLP-1 questions
Can I get GLP-1 medications via telehealth in Virginia?+
Yes. Virginia law allows a licensed Virginia provider to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide through telehealth, including asynchronous review of your intake when the standard of care is met.
Does Virginia Medicaid cover Wegovy® or Zepbound®?+
Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care) 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 affect our pricing.
Can a doctor licensed in another state prescribe to me in Virginia?+
No. Under Virginia Board of Medicine rules, the prescribing provider must hold an active Virginia medical license when treating a patient located in Virginia. Every Pallas clinician who treats Virginia patients is individually licensed in Virginia.
How fast does Pallas ship in Virginia?+
Most Virginia patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads typically ship fastest; Shenandoah Valley and rural southwestern ZIP codes may take an extra day.
