Telehealth prescribing rules in Missouri
RSMo 191.1145 defines telehealth and permits licensed providers to deliver services by telehealth under the in-person standard of care. RSMo 191.1146 requires a physician using telemedicine to ensure a properly established physician-patient relationship, which can be formed in person, through consultation with a physician who has an existing relationship, or through a telemedicine encounter if the standard of care does not require an in-person visit. Before prescribing, the physician must evaluate the patient, collect or review relevant history, and perform an examination sufficient for diagnosis and treatment. 2026 House Bill 2372 amended RSMo 191.1146 and 334.108 effective August 28, 2026. Under the amended 191.1146, a questionnaire completed by the patient online or by telephone counts only if the treating health care professional reviews it and it contains enough information to stand in for an in-person evaluation; a provider who uses a questionnaire to establish the relationship must be employed by or contracted with a business entity licensed to provide health care in Missouri, and must send a written report to the patient's primary care provider, if the patient names one, within 14 days. The amended 334.108 requires a valid physician-patient relationship under 191.1146 before any telemedicine or internet prescription, and its subsection 3 bars prescribing based solely on a telemedicine evaluation unless a previously established and ongoing physician-patient relationship exists. The House summary of the truly agreed bill describes it as permitting such questionnaires, but the statute text does not say how subsection 3 applies to a relationship first established by questionnaire under 191.1146, so this record leaves asynchronous prescribing unconfirmed rather than recording it as allowed or barred.

Compounded GLP-1 access in Missouri
Missouri requires a real clinical evaluation before a telehealth GLP-1 prescription: since August 28, 2026 a questionnaire counts only when a treating health care professional reviews it and it holds enough information to stand in for an in-person evaluation, and RSMo 334.108 limits prescribing based solely on a telemedicine evaluation. The dispensing pharmacy needs a Missouri or Missouri nonresident license. [2] [3] [6] [11]
Research use only sellers in Missouri
Missouri food and drug law (RSMo chapter 196) prohibits selling adulterated or misbranded drugs, and chapter 338 limits dispensing of prescription drugs to licensed pharmacies. [5] [9] [12]
How to check a telehealth provider in Missouri
- Confirm the prescriber is licensed or registered to treat patients located in Missouri; the telehealth rules above explain what Missouri requires. [2] [3] [4]
- Ask which pharmacy will fill the prescription and check it in the Missouri Board of Pharmacy (Division of Professional Registration) license lookup. [1] [5] [6] [7] [8] [10]
- Get the full price in writing first: consult fees, membership fees, and the medication itself.
- Walk away from any seller that labels a peptide "research use only" or "not for human consumption". See the research use only section above for what that means in Missouri. [5] [9] [12]
Common questions in Missouri
Can I get a GLP-1 prescription in Missouri from an online questionnaire?
Only in limited cases, and not from an unreviewed form. Since August 28, 2026, RSMo 191.1146 accepts a questionnaire only if the treating health care professional reviews it and it contains enough information to stand in for an in-person evaluation, and the provider must work for or contract with an entity licensed to provide health care in Missouri. RSMo 334.108 separately limits prescribing based solely on a telemedicine evaluation, so expect a clinician review and possibly a live visit. [2] [3] [4]
Can a telehealth visit start a new physician-patient relationship in Missouri?
Yes, if the standard of care does not require an in-person encounter and the visit follows evidence-based telemedicine practice guidelines. The physician must be licensed in Missouri. [2]
