CHAPTER / QUESTIONS

Questions that turn claims into answers

Use the list before paying. A clear service can answer in clear language.

VAGUE

“Is this high quality?”

CHECKABLE

“What is the exact product, who makes it, and where can I verify the licence?”

Good questions name the record that can confirm the answer.

About the clinician

  • What is your full name and licence type?
  • Are you authorised to treat me while I am in Virginia?
  • How can I reach a clinician after the visit?
  • What would make you refer me for in-person care?

About the medicine

  • What is the medicine’s own name (not the brand), and does it come as a shot, a pill, or something else?
  • Is the finished product FDA-approved or compounded?
  • If compounded, why is that route being used for me?
  • Which pharmacy will make and send it?
  • What written label and storage directions come with it?

About money and follow-up

  • What is the full first-month cost?
  • What is the full ongoing monthly cost?
  • Are visits, tests, supplies, shipping, and medicine separate?
  • How do cancellation, refills, and refunds work?
