Myth to test

Does getting care online mean skipping a real health review?

Short answer

Care on a screen still calls for the same level of health review as a visit in a room.

## Start with people, product and price

It is easy to get lost in the search results. Put these questions beside any offer before comparing it with another.

Whose licence should I look up before they assess my health?

What is the exact medicine being discussed?

What will I pay for visits, medicine and any tests?

Who can answer a question after the visit?

## Tirzepatide is a real medicine; the product matters

For tirzepatide, Mounjaro and Zepbound are FDA-approved products as of September 2026; the agency responsible is the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA is the U.S. agency that checks a medicine's evidence for a specific use.

A compounded medicine is made to order and has not had that same FDA review.

An offer's wording is a starting point for questions, not the end of the check.

## Choose the question on your mind

No need to work through every chapter in order. Start with the part that is holding up your decision.

[What makes an online visit real?](/getting-started/)

[What belongs in the full bill?](/plan-costs/)

[What makes an offer worth pausing over?](/pause-and-check/)

Keep the questions close before opening an offer.

## Brief source notes

[Medical-board guidance on online care](https://www.fsmb.org/siteassets/advocacy/policies/fsmb-workgroup-on-telemedicineapril-2022-final.pdf)

Guidance for state boards, rather than a nationwide rule.

[FDA explanation of made-to-order drugs](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/compounding-and-fda-questions-and-answers)

Shows how approval differs from having a medicine made to order.
