Answer · read the date on each review

Do they say which state your prescriber is licensed in?

The one question a national telehealth market makes hard to answer, counted across the roster.

14 of the 53 companies reviewed here say it. 39 publish no sentence we could find that makes the claim, and most of those publish something that looks like it from a distance and is not.

What this piece found

How many say it?

14 of 53: CoreAge Rx, Gala Health, Synergy Rx, Gimme Care, GoodGirlRx, Trava, Amble, LifeMD, PlushCare, Form Health, Lavender Sky Health, Green Cap Health, HealthiCare, and Effecty. 3 of them are companies that pay us a commission, which is neither here nor there for a count — the field is set by what the company published, and the same rule was applied to every record.

What was counted, and how

One field per company, `america.stateLicensed`, set to true only where the company's own site states that the clinician who treats you holds a license in the patient's state. Read on the date each review carries. ⛔ It is not set by a fifty-state availability claim, by a statement that a company “works with licensed providers”, or by a professional network being named — all three are common here and none of them is the claim.

Every company reviewed here. The middle bar is the one to read carefully: it is silence, not denial.

What do the other sentences actually say?

Three sentences do most of the work on the sites that do not make the claim, and each one is true while answering a different question.

Why does the wording matter?

Because a telehealth prescription is written under the rules of the state you are sitting in, and the company knows which state that is — it asks. Several of the intakes we walked this year open with the question and explain it in the same breath. One of them puts it plainly: We need to follow different rules when issuing a prescription based on where you live. A company that asks the question up front and never publishes the answer has told you the answer matters.

What does a blank mean, and what does it not?

It means we read that company's own pages on the date its review carries and did not find the sentence. It does not mean the prescriber is unlicensed, it does not mean the company is doing anything improper, and nothing on this site says either. 39 of 53 is most of the roster, and the likeliest explanation is the dull one: it is not yet normal to write it down.

Do the ones that say it cost more?

Almost not at all. The 12 priced companies that make the claim average $184 a month all in. The 29 priced companies that do not average $251. The ones that publish it are cheaper on average, so whatever explains the disclosure, it is not price. If the sentence matters to you, it is available at both ends of the price range — the cheapest board has the figures.

Some companies named here pay us a commission when a reader starts care through a marked link. No link on this page is one.
