Your location is part of the care question
Care at a distance is called telehealth; a video visit is an example. The service’s office location is not the only place that matters.
The law checked on September 28, 2026 generally required a doctor outside Georgia to hold a Georgia medical or telemedicine licence to treat someone in Georgia.
Before paying, ask who will see you and whether their authority covers care while you are in Georgia.
A first prescription needs a specific answer
Georgia’s medical board said an exam in person was generally needed before a first prescription; its advice was checked on September 28, 2026.
The board’s summary has exceptions. The detailed rules allow equipment that lets a clinician examine you at least as well as an exam in person would.
Those sources do not settle when video alone is enough for a first semaglutide prescription.
Ask the service to explain the Georgia basis for your own visit. If an in-person exam is part of that route, ask who arranges it and what it costs.
Ask for the visit route in writing
- Does my own assessment need an exam in person?
- Which Georgia rule supports the visit route you are offering?
- Who arranges an in-person exam, if it is needed?
