How does Dr. Refills compare?
Dr. Refills only renews medications you already take, at the same dose. There is no appointment and no video call: you fill in an online form, and a physician licensed in your state reviews it (in Florida, our physician is registered for telehealth). If the refill is approved, the prescription is sent to your own pharmacy within 1 hour. It costs $59 for a 30-day supply or $79 for a 90-day supply, covers any number of your chronic medications in one request, and you are charged only if approved. Dr. Refills does not prescribe controlled substances.
