Overview of SleepScriptMD
What is SleepScriptMD?
SleepScriptMD is an online insomnia clinic that offers text-based care and Telehealth appointments with licensed providers. Patients complete an online questionnaire, and a doctor reviews and approves treatment plans, often leading to same-day prescriptions The process is HIPAA-compliant, fast, and designed for convenience
What is text-based care, and how does it allow for same-day prescriptions?
Text-based care means you don’t need a live appointment—your intake form is reviewed through text with real doctors overseeing approvals. 95% of patients receive a prescription within minutes after their information is reviewed, making same-day prescriptions possible without delays. If any risks are flagged, a provider may request additional info or schedule a virtual visit.
Is a real doctor reviewing my case before I get a prescription?
Yes. A licensed provider always reviews and approves every prescription. No prescriptions are auto-generated without physician oversight, ensuring safety. If there’s any uncertainty, a provider may contact you or request a virtual visit before proceeding.

No, SleepScriptMD is a self-pay service, and we do not bill insurance for our fees. All costs for text-based care and Telehealth visits must be paid out-of-pocket. However, you may be able to submit invoices for Telehealth visits to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.
Will my insurance cover the cost of my medication?
Medication costs are separate, entirely out of our control, and must be paid directly at your pharmacy. While many insurance plans may cover some or all of the cost, we cannot guarantee coverage and are not responsible for whether your insurance pays for it. However, most of the medications we prescribe are generic and commonly covered by insurance. We recommend checking with your provider to confirm coverage for any prescribed medications.
Can I switch from text-based care to Telehealth care?
Yes! If you prefer a live consultation instead of text-based care, you can easily schedule a virtual Telehealth appointment. Just head over to this link and fill out the form to request an appointment.

Treatments We Provide
What kinds of sleep treatments does SleepScriptMD offer?
Are prescriptions the only option, or do you offer other sleep aids?
No. While medications can be an option, we prioritize evidence-based, non-prescription approaches. We often recommend CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), which can be done at home, as well as sleep hygiene strategies, which are of utmost importance and often the most common cause of sleep issues.
Additionally, we can recommend high-quality, evidence-backed supplements (such as melatonin, magnesium, and others) through Dr. Danish’s Fullscript store at a discounted rate: Fullscript Store.
If OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) or other sleep disorders are suspected, we can provide a prescription for a home sleep study after a virtual consultation, in partnership with Empower Sleep: Empower Sleep.
Our focus is always on long-term sleep improvement rather than just quick fixes.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Your intake responses determine a personalized treatment plan, which a provider reviews and approves. If needed, they may adjust it or schedule a virtual Telehealth visit for a more detailed evaluation.
Other Policies & Resources
What is the refund policy if I’m not eligible for treatment?
If SleepScriptMD cannot treat you for medical reasons, you’ll receive a full refund. However, late cancellations (within 48 business hours) for Telehealth visits are non-refundable.
