How to Get Started

Getting a prescription refill through Chesapeake Telemedicine is straightforward and involves a few simple steps:

1. Know Your Medication

Before you begin, ensure you have the name and current dosage of your medication handy. In some cases, we may request proof of the prescription, so having your prescription details at hand can help streamline the process.

2. Schedule an Appointment

Visit our website and schedule a same-day appointment at a time that suits your schedule. We offer appointments every day from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. to accommodate your needs. Our platform is designed to be user-friendly, and scheduling an appointment with us only takes a few clicks.

3. Join the Virtual Consultation

At the scheduled time, join the virtual consultation with one of our highly trained, board-certified healthcare providers. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and a video-capable digital device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. During the consultation, discuss your medication needs with the provider. They will review your information and, if appropriate, approve the refill.

4. Instantly Have Your Prescription Sent to Your Pharmacy

Once your refill is approved, the prescription will be sent to your pharmacy immediately. Depending on the pharmacy, you can typically pick up your medications the same day as your appointment or within 24-48 hours. This swift process ensures that you don’t have to go without your essential medications, reducing the risk of health complications.

5. Follow Up with Your Pharmacy

Be sure to follow up with your pharmacy to confirm they have received your prescription. It’s important to check not only if it’s been processed but also to inquire about the status of your medication pickup. This way, you can ensure that everything is in order and be prepared for any potential wait times or additional steps required before you can collect your medication.

With or without insurance, a virtual visit with Chesapeake Telemedicine may cost between $0-75. We accept dozens of insurance providers and offer self-pay options for those without insurance. This ensures that our services are accessible to a broad range of patients within the Mid-Atlantic region (DE, PA, MD, DC, and VA).
