FAQs

Asynchronous care removes the friction. It means your medical care happens securely online, but not in real-time. You share your detailed medical history through a comprehensive, secure digital intake whenever it is convenient for you. Our board-certified physicians then review your chart, make a clinical diagnosis, and send your prescription—all behind the scenes.

No. At SleepScriptMD, we use a 100% asynchronous medical model. We no longer offer live telehealth anywhere.

Yes. Your file is carefully reviewed by our highly trained, U.S.-based medical practitioners—not an algorithm.

You pay a simple $69 flat fee for our physicians to review your file and issue a prescription. There are no monthly recurring charges and no live virtual appointments.

Because real physicians must thoroughly review your medical chart for safety and efficacy every time a medical decision is made, the $69 flat fee applies to any prescription event. This includes your initial prescription, standard medication renewal reviews, dose increases or decreases, and changing to a different medication.

Not at all. We operate on a strict self-pay model to keep prices low and transparent. You will pay the flat $69 clinical fee using any major credit or debit card via our secure checkout.

The medication itself is paid for by you at your local pharmacy. These medications are usually covered by insurance, but individual results and copays vary. Because the generic medications we prescribe are so inexpensive, many patients actually find that using a free GoodRx.com coupon is cheaper than their standard insurance copay.

We can send your prescription to any pharmacy in the U.S. that accepts e-prescriptions, including CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, Costco, Amazon Pharmacy, Kroger, Trump Rx, and Cost Plus Drugs.

Telemedicine regulations vary across the country. We currently offer our 100% asynchronous sleep care in states that legally permit this secure, forward-thinking medical model and where our physicians are fully licensed.

Patient safety is our absolute priority. If a patient is considered too medically or mentally compromised for treatment via asynchronous care, our doctors will not issue a prescription and will advise them to seek in-person care.

The $69 clinical fee covers the cost of our board-certified medical team carefully reviewing your file. Because the physician’s time and expertise are required to make a safe medical determination, this fee is for the medical review itself and is charged regardless of whether a medication is ultimately prescribed.

We specialize in safe, evidence-based treatments. If approved, your non-habit-forming sleep medication is e-prescribed directly to the local pharmacy of your choice. Examples of the medication we prescribe include Trazodone, Hydroxyzine, Clonidine, and Mirtazepine (Remeron).

Yes. We do not prescribe controlled substances including all benzodiazepines and “Z-drugs” (Ambien, Lunesta, etc), or other habit-forming sedatives, as certain sleep medications are restricted for patient safety in an asynchronous environment.

You don’t have to guess. Our board-certified physicians review your comprehensive medical history and symptoms to determine the safest and most effective plan tailored specifically for you.
