How does DirectMeds work?
Last updated August 11, 2026
Three steps: complete a free 5-minute medical assessment, a licensed U.S. physician reviews it (typically within 5 hours), and if approved, your prescription ships from a U.S. 503B compounding pharmacy within 1–2 business days. If not approved, you get a full refund.
1. Complete your free assessment
Answer a few honest questions about your health, history, and goals. Qualify in under 5 minutes from any device — no clipboards, no waiting rooms, no upfront charge until you select a plan. This is the same intake information a physician would take in-person.

2. A real physician reviews your health goals
Not a bot. Not an algorithm. A board-certified U.S. healthcare professional licensed in your state reviews your assessment — typically within 5 hours, always within 24 — and builds a treatment plan around your specific needs. Clinical accuracy and your safety come first. If your plan is not approved, you get your money back.

3. Your treatment ships to your door
Approved prescriptions ship within 1–2 business days from a U.S.-certified 503B compounding pharmacy with free, tracked FedEx or UPS delivery. And care doesn't stop there — your dedicated licensed nurse stays with you throughout treatment for questions, dosing adjustments, and check-ins. Reach a real human on the phone in 1–2 minutes, anytime.
