Travel does not have to interrupt routine medication

What helps verify your medication
- Photo of your bottle or pharmacy label
- Pharmacy app or medication history
- Prior prescription or after-visit summary
- Usual prescriber contact information
- Recent relevant readings or laboratory results
You must be in Texas during the visit
The telehealth encounter is based on your physical location at the time of care. If you are outside Texas, Oklahoma, Florida or Colorado, do not use this refill pathway.

What if I do not have the bottle with me?
