In most cases, the clinician will review your medical intake form and prescribe asynchronously.
However, depending on your medical history and state requirements, your clinician may determine that a 15-minute telehealth appointment is needed before your treatment can move forward.

Not everyone needs one, it's decided case by case during your medical review.
