FAQ
Find answers to common questionsWhat is NiceRx?
NiceRx is a personalized direct-to-consumer telehealth platform that works with you to help you reach your wellness goals by handling everything from diagnosis to the delivery of medication.
We focus on proven, science-backed treatments, and our healthcare providers can prescribe medications like GLP-1s if they’re right for you.
It’s a straightforward process – you start with an online health questionnaire and then have a telehealth consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. If medication is prescribed, NiceRx will arrange convenient delivery from a licensed pharmacy.
NiceRx offers ongoing support and resources to help you along the way. Our service is designed to be easy and convenient and everything is included in the monthly fee.
Who is NiceRx for?
NiceRx offers convenient remote care for adults seeking to address health issues or improve their well-being.
How does NiceRx work?
Getting started with NiceRx is an easy 3-step process:
- Tell us about yourself and your wellness goals by filling out our online questionnaire. If you’re qualified, you can join our program.
- A licensed healthcare provider will review your detailed medical history and create a personalized care plan based on your goals.
- If your healthcare provider decides it’s medically appropriate to prescribe medication, your medication will be conveniently delivered to your door. You can also fill prescriptions elsewhere and still use Alan to track your progress and connect with your doctor monthly.

Do I need to see a healthcare provider in person to use NiceRx?
No, our service is 100% online. You will be diagnosed remotely by a licensed healthcare provider.
Is it legal to prescribe medication online?
Yes. NiceRx uses telemedicine technology, enabling doctors to practice medicine and remotely manage patient care. Every doctor you consult with is licensed to prescribe medication in your state.
Do I need a prescription?
You do not need to already have a prescription to use NiceRx.
Certain products available through NiceRx are only available with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. To purchase these products, you will need to first consult with a licensed healthcare provider through the NiceRx telehealth platform.
We make this process simple, fast and convenient for you. A licensed healthcare provider will remotely diagnose you based on your health information and prescribe a medication if medically appropriate.
Does NiceRx replace my primary care provider?
No, NiceRx works complementary to your primary care provider. It’s important to keep your primary care physician and other healthcare providers up-to-date about your NiceRx treatment.
Is telemedicine safe?
Yes, telemedicine is safe and effective, but its success depends on your honesty and accuracy. It’s important to answer all questions truthfully and completely. Like any medical consultation, whether online or in person, healthcare professionals rely solely on accurate and up-to-date information about your case to provide the best care.
Healthcare providers on NiceRx depend entirely on the information you provide through the platform, whether in your initial visit or subsequent communications. They cannot independently verify this information. If medication is prescribed, it’s important to carefully read your personalized treatment plan before taking it and to adhere to the prescribed dosage strictly. Reading and understanding this information fully is essential for you to evaluate the risks and benefits of your treatment.
How quickly will I see a healthcare provider?
After you complete your medical history, you can schedule an appointment with the healthcare provider. Appointments are typically available as early as the next business day.
What happens if I’m not approved for a medication?
You will not be charged if you are not approved for medication. NiceRx authorizes your card for payment but will only bill you if the healthcare provider approves the prescription. If the medication is not approved, the payment authorization will be cancelled.
Who will my doctor be?
All doctors on the NiceRx platform are board-certified and have extensive experience. You will be connected with a doctor that is licensed in your state.

How do I join my appointment?
When you schedule an appointment, you will receive an email with a link to join the appointment. Please note that your healthcare provider may be finishing another appointment and could be a few minutes late. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as you wait to connect with your healthcare provider.
What should I do if I’m late for my telehealth appointment?
It’s important to be on time for your scheduled appointment. We recommend joining the visit a few minutes before the appointment starts so you will have enough time to get your microphone and camera ready. If you are late and the healthcare provider is no longer in the video call, please re-schedule the appointment by clicking the reschedule appointment link in your appointment confirmation email.
How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
You can click the Reschedule Appointment or Cancel Appointment links in your appointment confirmation email.

How do I change my medication or dosage?
It’s strongly recommended not to stop taking the medication or change the dosage on your own. For your safety, follow the prescribed guidelines for your personalized treatment plan. If you’re experiencing side effects or not realizing the benefits you were expecting, schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider. They have the medical expertise to guide you appropriately and review what options are right for you.
I have a medical emergency. What do I do?
Please call 911 immediately.
What is a compounded medication?
Compounding pharmacies create custom medications tailored to individual patient needs. This might involve changing the form of a medication—for instance, making a liquid version of a drug that’s typically available as a tablet. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs when those drugs are on the FDA’s shortage list.
State-licensed compounding pharmacies, which adhere to strict federal and state regulations (including quality standards), prepare compounded drugs for you. It’s important to note that while these pharmacies must follow the law, compounded drugs are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness.
How do you ensure the safety and quality of the medications?
NiceRx’s partner pharmacies use strict manufacturing processes and quality control measures for compounded medications. Every batch is tested for sterility and potency.
Are compounded medications the same as generic medications?
Compounded medications differ from generics. Generic drugs typically require FDA approval, with manufacturers demonstrating bioequivalence to the brand-name version. Compounded medications, however, are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies only when a patient has a specific prescription for a medication that is not commercially available or when a drug is on the FDA’s shortage list. The compounding pharmacy must have the appropriate facilities and meet all applicable state and federal regulations before dispensing the medication.
What should I do if I need a higher dose?
It’s important to follow the prescribed guidelines in your personalized treatment plan. The dosage strength is typically increased over time in gradual increments to avoid side effects as your body gets used to the medication. To discuss changing your dosage, please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider
Can I return my medication?
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns of prescription medications for reuse or resale and all sales are final. However, if you believe there’s been an error in filling your prescription, please contact us.
How do I order refills?
It isn’t necessary to order refills as NiceRx will automatically schedule your refill shipments according to your prescribed treatment plan so you receive your refill medication before you run out.
How much does the online visit cost?
The online visit is free.
How much does the medication cost?
The medication cost is quoted on our website and in the checkout after you complete your online questionnaire. The quoted price includes the cost of medication, accessories, free shipping and the doctor’s visit.
When am I charged for the medication?
You will only be charged after your healthcare provider has approved a personalized treatment plan and prescription.
Is NiceRx covered by insurance?
Products, services and medications offered through NiceRx are not covered by insurance.
Can I get reimbursed through my HSA/FSA?
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) let you use pre-tax dollars from your paycheck for eligible medical expenses.
You can typically be reimbursed for the full amount of these expenses, although the exact amount depends on the funds available in your specific FSA or HSA. Be sure to check your plan’s guidelines and terms for details.
On average, this can save you around 30% on those medical costs, based on state and federal tax rates.
