Services not offered at QuickMD

Some conditions, medications, and services can’t be provided safely through telemedicine. Here’s what’s outside of QuickMD’s telemedicine care and what we can help you with instead.

Narcotics & opioid painkillers

We do not prescribe narcotics, opioid pain medications, or other high-risk medications.

Benzodiazepines & barbiturates

Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, and similar sedative medications require in-person monitoring.

Specialty, transplant, & cardiac medications

Medications requiring close lab monitoring or specialist oversight, including biologics, can’t be safely provided online.

Experiencing an emergency right now?

Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. Do not book a virtual visit.

We do not prescribe controlled substances, with limited exceptions

We don’t prescribe controlled substances, with two exceptions: buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone®) for opioid use disorder and kratom and 7-OH dependence, and testosterone cream for hormone therapy. Both are prescribed only when medically appropriate after evaluation by a licensed clinician.

We do not prescribe narcotics, painkillers or other high-risk medications

This includes barbiturates, benzodiazepines, products containing marijuana, medications for acute heart problems, transplant medications, and biologics. We only prescribe medications that are medically necessary and appropriate for your diagnosis.

We do not write certain doctor’s notes or exemption forms

We can’t complete disability forms, workers’ compensation forms, or vaccine or mask exemptions because they require in-person exams or specialist documentation. We can provide work and school notes, return-to-work notes, and health clearance notes when medically appropriate.
