[ Peptide care, made clear. ](/)

Clear questions. Room to think.

## Keep a note

Before choosing a program, put these answers on paper.

What is the medicine?

Who will assess me?

What will I pay?

Who answers later?

A vague answer is a reason to ask again.

The care inside an online program

U.S. care · September 2026.

# Choose the visit that fits the question.

Care can start through telehealth—a health visit by video, phone, or written messages—or an in-person clinic.

Who handles questions between visits?

## Your location is part of the care

As of September 2026, online doctors needed a licence or another form of legal permission in the state you occupied at the time of the visit.

If you will be travelling, ask whether the doctor has permission to provide care in the state you will be visiting from.

[ Note A ](#note-a)

## A form needs room for a conversation

A fixed online question list cannot by itself support a treatment decision. This is the Federation of State Medical Boards’ position in guidance checked in September 2026.

This group writes guidance for state medical boards, which oversee doctors.

The group supports first visits by written messages only if they meet the same care requirements as a visit in person.

Ask whether the doctor can ask you more questions and arrange any exam or test needed to assess you.

State rules still decide what is allowed, as of September 2026.

[ Note B ](#note-b)

## Ask how an exam or test will be arranged

Board guidance reviewed in September 2026 requires doctors to arrange necessary tests or refer you to a person able to carry them out.

Ask what happens if the online visit leaves a question open.

[ Note B ](#note-b)

## Bring these notes to any visit

What brought you here.

Medicines and supplements you use.

Past health issues and any recent tests.

Your main question and how to reach you.
