Health is complicated. We’ve got answers.
GETTING STARTED
What is UpScript?
We’re an ambitious team that loves to care for others. We take telemedicine to heart, offering online prescriptions to get patients feeling their best through informed, confident decisions.
How do I get started?
1. Register – Set up an account by providing your Name, Email, and Password.
2. Complete Medical Questionnaire – Answer a few medical questions that the healthcare provider will review during your consultation.
3. Checkout – Provide shipping and payment information for your virtual consultation.
4. Conduct Visit with a Provider – Conduct a Telehealth Consultation to find out if a prescription is right for you. The consultation type depends on your state regulations.
How does the online consultation process work?
After registering, you will be asked to complete an online medical assessment to provide more information about your medical history, medical conditions, and any medications you are currently taking.
Next, one of our providers will conduct a telehealth consultation, either video, audio, or digital consultation. He or she will review the medical information you provide to determine whether a prescription is appropriate for you.
If approved, your prescription will be sent to our pharmacy for review. If necessary, our pharmacist will contact you before dispensing your medication. Otherwise, your order will be packaged and shipped directly to you.
What are the different types of consultations?
All states require some interaction between a healthcare provider and patient in order to prescribe a medication, however regulations governing the type of interaction or consultation differ from state to state. Depending on the state where we are shipping your medication, you will be required to have one of three types of consultations: audio, video or digital consultation.
In all cases, the process is simple and easy to follow. Once a prescription is approved, we process payment and your medication will be safely and discreetly shipped to you.
Video & Audio Consultations
If your state requires a telehealth video or audio consultation, you will be directed to schedule a visit by choosing from a list of healthcare providers who are licensed in your state.
You will receive a email with a link to join the telehealth visit. At the scheduled time, click on the link directly in the email or log in to your account and click “Start Visit”. Once you have logged in, you will be in the waiting room until the scheduled start time. The prescriber will review the medical information you provided, verify important medical information, and address any specific questions you may have.
If you need to reschedule, you can do so in your account by clicking “Reschedule” to select a different date and time. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
Note: If your state requires a video or audio consultation, you must complete it for your prescription to be processed.
Digital Consultations
If your state requires a digital consultation, you’re able to interact with one of our online licensed healthcare providers without an audio or video interaction. If you are in a state that allows for this type of interaction, you will be asked to answer a number of questions about your medical history online and a healthcare provider licensed in your state will review your responses to determine whether or not a prescription is appropriate for you.
After completing checkout, you will be directed to select a provider from the available list to review your information. Our prescribers generally review your medical file within 24 hours. If necessary, they will follow up by email or phone to determine if a prescription is right for you.

ORDERING TREATMENTS
Prescription Information
How are prescriptions sent to the pharmacy?
If your prescription is approved after the medical consultation, it is sent electronically to our pharmacy using HIPAA-compliant encrypted software.
Do I need an existing prescription to place an order?
You do not need an existing prescription. One of our U.S. licensed Prescribers will review your medical history to determine whether the prescription you’re ordering is appropriate for you. Once approved, we will process payment and ship your prescription directly to you.
Is there a consultation or processing fee?
In many cases, UpScript does not charge a consultation or processing fee if we fulfill your prescription. The consultation and prescription processing costs are included in the price of your prescription. We aim to keep these costs to a minimum and pass the savings on to you. In the few cases where there is a prescriber consultation fee, we make it clear next to the cost of the prescription.
May I place an order for someone else?
No, the patient must complete the online diagnostic medical assessment. Our system collects a complete patient medical history for your healthcare provider to make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment. We need to obtain this information directly from the patient.
May I have my prescription filled at another pharmacy?
Yes, you may choose to have your prescription filled at another pharmacy at any time; however, there will be a $120.00 processing fee. In most cases at UpScript, the cost of the consultation and prescription processing by our pharmacy is built into the cost of the medicine. When a customer chooses to have their prescription filled elsewhere, we must separate those costs.
How do I reorder and what are Auto Refills?
How do I reorder?
Reordering is simple!
Step 1: Log in to your account using your Email and Password.

Can I setup Auto-Refill?
Yes! If the prescription you have requested is eligible, you will have the opportunity to enroll in auto-refill during checkout or at a later time under the Auto Refill within your account.
Note: Certain products that are prescribed for regular use will automatically enroll you in the auto-refill program. The receipt page will indicate enrollment. You may cancel the auto-refill enrollment at any time under the Auto Refill within your account or by contacting Patient Support.
