Telehealth prescribing rules in New York

Public Health Law Article 29-G (sections 2999-cc and following) limits telehealth to telemedicine, store-and-forward technology, remote patient monitoring, and audio-only telephone communication, and defines store-and-forward as the asynchronous transmission of patient-specific digital images or pre-recorded videos from an originating site to a telehealth provider at a distant site. Providers must hold a New York license and are held to the professional standards of Education Law Title VIII. Because New York's store-and-forward definition is limited to images and videos and does not describe questionnaire-based prescribing, this record leaves asynchronous prescribing unconfirmed. None of the peptides in this database are controlled substances. [2] [3]

Compounded GLP-1 access in New York

A telehealth GLP-1 program shipping into New York must use a pharmacy registered as a nonresident establishment under Education Law section 6808-b, which patients can verify on the Office of the Professions license lookup. [4] [9]

Research use only sellers in New York

Education Law Article 137 limits dispensing of prescription drugs to registered pharmacies and licensed practitioners, and section 6808-b requires registration of any out-of-state establishment shipping prescription drugs into New York, including internet sellers. [4] [10]

How to check a telehealth provider in New York

Confirm the prescriber is licensed or registered to treat patients located in New York; the telehealth rules above explain what New York requires. [2] [3]
Ask which pharmacy will fill the prescription and check it in the New York State Board of Pharmacy (State Education Department, Office of the Professions) license lookup. [1] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
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 New York. [4] [10]

Common questions in New York

Can I get a GLP-1 prescription in New York through telehealth?

Yes, from a New York-licensed provider. Public Health Law Article 29-G recognizes telemedicine, store-and-forward, remote monitoring, and audio-only calls, and semaglutide and tirzepatide are not controlled substances. [2]

Does New York's store-and-forward telehealth cover online questionnaires?

Not by its terms. New York defines store-and-forward as the asynchronous transmission of patient-specific digital images or pre-recorded videos, so questionnaire-only prescribing depends on professional standards rather than an express telehealth rule. [3]

Can an out-of-state pharmacy ship compounded peptides to me in New York?

Only if it is registered with the State Education Department as a nonresident establishment under Education Law section 6808-b. Check the Office of the Professions registration lookup before ordering. [4] [5]
