2. Your doctor can prescribe you most medicines over video

Nishant Rao, ND, chief medical officer for telehealth company Doc Talk Go, says that as long as your doctor considers they can provide “the same standard care” as they would in-person and can make accurate conclusions via video, they are definitely free to prescribe you medication you may need during these hard times.

These meds can either be delivered right to your door or be made available for pickup at your local pharmacy. However, you should note that not all medications can be prescribed during a virtual visit. “Controlled substances cannot be prescribed by telemedicine,” Rao says. “Generally speaking, these are medicines that are addictive and have far more ability to result in abuse or addiction. Outside of that, it’s very much case by case.”
