## Who will check my health?

Mark each clear answer

Who would check my health, and can they legally treat me in whichever state I am in during the visit?

How can I send more questions to the person who checked my health?

What would make an in-person visit or a test necessary?

Answer from option A

U.S. guidance checked September 26, 2026 says your visit location sets the state for checking the doctor's licence.

[Medical-board advice on health checks and questions](https://www.fsmb.org/siteassets/advocacy/policies/guidance-on-recent-trends-in-prescribing-and-dispensing-adopted.pdf)

Advice for state boards; your location during the appointment decides which state's rules apply.

## What is the exact medicine?

Mark each clear answer

What is the ingredient and product name, and is it a pill, injection pen or small bottle for injections?

Is this an approved medicine or a compounded one, made to order?

Why does it fit the condition being treated?

Which pharmacy would supply it, and where can I check its licence?

Answer from option A

Answer from option B

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviews medicines; 'FDA registered' means being listed with that agency. As of September 26, 2026, being listed does not mean the place or its medicines have FDA approval. Medicines prepared to order through compounding do not have FDA approval.

## How will follow-up work?

Mark each clear answer

What problems call for urgent help, and what needs a routine message?

Who will respond, and how do I reach them after the visit?

If treatment stops or is put on hold, what happens next?

Answer from option A
