Growth built on compliance first.

A telemedicine brand is twenty decisions at once.

Every owner hits the same wall. The questions are not medical; they are business decisions, and each one depends on the others.

• Which platform actually fits your model, your budget and your states?
• Which provider network and pharmacy partners will work with you?
• What does LegitScript expect before you even apply?
• Which payment processors will board a telemedicine business?
• How do you launch without an operations team already in place?
• Who owns each decision once real patients are involved?

Compliance leads. LegitScript is where it starts.

How LegitScript fits our telemedicine and marketing work

• Telemedicine. Before platforms, providers and pharmacies are chosen, we check the plan against LegitScript's published standards, so launch is not delayed by problems that could have been found early.
• Marketing and patient acquisition. Ads and landing pages are planned against the same standards and ad platform rules. Google and Bing advertising and card-not-present payments can depend on certification, as LegitScript describes below.
• Everything else. Related domains, claims, checkout and refund language, and which medications you offer are reviewed in one pass instead of piece by piece.

LegitScript certification, prepared properly

LegitScript is an independent company that certifies healthcare businesses. For telemedicine brands it often decides whether you can run ads and take card payments. We help you get ready, document the business honestly and apply with fewer surprises. LegitScript alone decides whether to certify.

Why it matters

• LegitScript says certification is a necessary part of approval for card-not-present payments with Visa and Mastercard and for advertising on Google and Bing.
• It lists participating ad platforms as Google, Meta, Microsoft Bing, LinkedIn, TikTok, Netflix and others, each under its own ad policies. Certification does not guarantee ad approval.
• Certified businesses show an independent check against published standards, which partners, processors and patients can look up.
• Partners in some countries require it. LegitScript names the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

The rules: nine published standards

What a review looks at beyond your homepage

• Who owns the company, who practices medicine, who prescribes and who dispenses, and whether the real setup matches what you disclosed.
• Owners, affiliates and related businesses, plus every other domain, old site, landing page and patient portal tied to them.
• The patient path: intake, clinical evaluation, a provider's independent decision, then pharmacy fulfillment. Paying should not guarantee a prescription.
• Which medications you offer. Compounded drugs, peptides and controlled substances get extra scrutiny and should be known before you apply.
• Website and ad claims, checkout and refund terms, consent and privacy language, and whether your ads tell the same story as your site.
• State-by-state telemedicine rules for every state you serve.

What LegitScript charges

• Fees are per root domain. Subdomains of a certified domain are covered.
• Annual fees are nonrefundable, with no pro-rated refunds. You can cancel in writing at any time, and certification ends immediately.
• Adding a website after approval means an application fee and a compliance review. If it is approved within six months of your renewal date, its first annual fee is 50% lower.
• Large or complex organizations, such as telehealth platforms, multi-location groups and agencies, can use LegitScript's Enterprise program with its own pricing.

These are LegitScript's fees, paid to LegitScript, as listed on its site on November 8, 2026. They can change, so confirm before you apply. Med Excellence United's own support fees are separate. We scope them with you first and do not list them here.

Who can apply, and which program

• Healthcare Certification fits businesses that sell or advertise prescription medications online, offer telemedicine that may result in a prescription, process card-not-present payments for prescription drugs, or connect patients with contracted pharmacies or providers.
• Usually not eligible: in-person-only clinics, health insurers, supplement-only, medical device and homeopathic-only businesses, and most software platforms, unless they hold healthcare licensure, contract directly with providers or pharmacies, process prescription payments or work directly with patients. Some med spas qualify only through telemedicine prescribing or prescription payments.
• LegitScript runs two other certification programs, covered in the next section. Substance use disorder treatment content may point to the Addiction Treatment program instead.
• Not sure? LegitScript will review your business model and say whether you are eligible.

Three LegitScript certification programs, and where we help

We help you prepare for each of LegitScript's three certification programs. Each has its own standards, eligibility and fees, set by LegitScript.

Application fees are nonrefundable. Annual fees are due only if approved, are nonrefundable and can be canceled in writing at any time. These are LegitScript's fees as listed on November 8, 2026, and they can change. Our support covers preparing for these three programs, not LegitScript's other offerings.

How we help you prepare

• Check your model, services and states against the published standards before you apply.
• Build one application-ready file: entity records, licenses, provider and pharmacy documentation, policies and disclosures.
• Review your site, funnel and ads for claims and practices that LegitScript or ad platforms may question.
• Line up payment processor and ad platform needs with your certification timeline.
• Help you get any open questions answered before LegitScript asks.

Med Excellence United is not LegitScript and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LegitScript. We help you prepare. LegitScript alone decides whether to certify, and we cannot guarantee approval or timing.

Providers, pharmacies and care partners, sourced and checked.

A telemedicine business needs clinicians and fulfillment partners that will hold up to review. We source them and coordinate the introductions, and we check each partner's status on its own. We do not own or operate these providers.

• What we source. Providers, pharmacies, labs, mobile IV clinics and urgent care partners, matched to your service model and states.
• LegitScript status. Where a partner is LegitScript-certified, we look for that status first. LegitScript says its certification covers pharmacies and telemedicine providers, and its public site lets anyone check a website's status. We check each partner individually and do not assume one partner's status applies to another.
• Other partner types. For labs, mobile IV clinics and urgent care, we confirm licensing and fit with the partner and its regulators, and ask for LegitScript status only where it applies to that business.
• Payment processing. Pharmacy, lab and clinic partners affect how processors review your business, so we plan partner selection and processor applications together.

Availability, terms and acceptance are decided by each partner. Med Excellence United is not certified by, affiliated with or endorsed by LegitScript, and sourcing a partner is not a guarantee of its status. LegitScript alone decides certification.

Trademark clearance and research before you build the brand.

A name is expensive to change once the site, ads and packaging carry it. We organize the research and coordinate review with vetted trademark attorneys. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.

• Name and logo research. Search public trademark records and the market for names or marks that may conflict with yours, and summarize what turns up.
• Attorney review. Hand the research to a vetted trademark attorney, who decides whether a name looks clear and advises on filing.
• Brand fit. Check the name against the domain, company name and advertising plans so they point the same way.

Research does not guarantee that a mark is clear or will be registered. Legal conclusions belong to a licensed attorney.

Media: the stories you own.

Media is the content itself. We plan and write company-authored features and announcements, and keep the finished work organized so it can be reused.

• Feature articles. Company-authored pieces about a brand, a product line or a launch.
• Announcements. Short news items for launches, new offers and milestones.
• An archive. Every published piece is logged with its outlet and link in a master coverage document, so nothing published goes missing.
• Clear labeling. These are promotional features written by Med Excellence United, not independent reviews, and they say so on the page.

Patient acquisition, from first click to booked consultation.

Patient acquisition is the path a person takes after seeing your message. We plan that path so it is clear, consent-based and measurable.

• Inquiry paths. Map each step from landing page to consultation request, including what is asked and why.
• Consent-based follow-up. Plan reminders and follow-up around the consent a person has actually given.
• Privacy-aware setup. Keep health information out of tracking and ad tools, and give any work involving health information a separate review of roles and safeguards.
• Funnel reporting. Measure inquiries, booked consultations and drop-off points so changes are based on evidence.

We plan the acquisition path. Intake, clinical evaluation and prescribing decisions belong to independent licensed providers.

Commerce: the storefront behind the offer.

Commerce covers selling product online. We help plan the storefront so the offer, the checkout and the follow-up work together.

• Catalog and listings. Plan how items are described, priced and grouped, and keep descriptions accurate.
• Checkout and policies. Plan payment, shipping, refund and privacy terms in plain language.
• Launch features. Pair a storefront launch with media and publicity, as we do for Hollywood Pictures™.
• Healthcare commerce. Where products or services involve healthcare, compliance and payment rules are checked first, in line with our compliance work.
