telehealth — my 11-week log, condensed into one table

Regulatory Clean Column ×4

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/glp1canada repeats that state board is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 19 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

The telehealth + compounding combo cost 503A plus 21% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.

telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy

regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 92 weeks to accept.

no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

u/step_therapy_s5 points·9 months ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

replysharereportpermalink
u/ffmi_watcher3 points·9 months ago

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.

u/eu_apotheke_a2 points·9 months ago·edited

Are we talking 503A or 503B?

replysharereportpermalink
u/julia_erdogan1 point·9 months ago

Slight fix: the number was 99.0, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

About c/compounding

Compounded GLP-1s as a supply route: the 503A/503B distinction, the shortage-list mechanics that made compounding legal and then didn't, state board rules, telehealth prescriber models, and what a compounding pharmacy will and will not tell you about its API source.

c/compounding rules
  1. Regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, notice or docket.
  2. No pharmacy referral codes. Naming a pharmacy is fine; recruiting for it is not.
  3. API source questions are on-topic and pharmacies dodging them is newsworthy.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
