Verra vs in-person care: How does getting medication differ?
Short answer
With Verra, medication can be shipped to your door after a physician licensed in your state approves treatment. In-person care may involve a separate pharmacy pickup or delivery arrangement. Many Verra medications are compounded. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
Verra combines remote visits with medication delivery when treatment is prescribed. A physician licensed in your state reviews your visit and decides whether medication is appropriate. Medication is charged only after physician approval. The current price is shown on the treatment page. Shipping is not a substitute for urgent treatment.
After an in-person visit, getting medication depends on the clinic and pharmacy involved. You may need to arrange a pharmacy pickup or ask whether delivery is available. Neither an online visit nor an office visit guarantees that a clinician will prescribe the medication you request.
Many medications offered through Verra are compounded by a partner pharmacy. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Ask your physician why a specific medication is being considered and what risks or alternatives you should understand. Do not assume the visit format determines which medication is right for you.
