Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t see your question answered here? We’d love to hear from you.

No, insurance is not required for online appointments. Telemedicine visits are offered at an affordable rate for direct out-of-pocket payments.

Insurance may be accepted for some telemedicine visits. Please contact our clinic to confirm eligibility. 

Please contact us to inquire about other specialities. Our team is happy to evaluate whether your concern is treatable via telemedicine.

Each consultation is dedicated to a single primary clinical concern. 

Yes. Telemedicine consultations for renewal requests are available for some prescription categories.
  • If you are unsure whether your medication is eligible for a prescription renewal via telemedicine, please contact us via our 24/hour telephone assistance or via our contact page.
Please note that the following medications cannot be prescribed via telemedicine:
  • Antiviral Covid-19 medication (paxlovid),
  • Diabetes medications,
  • ADHD medications (e.g. adderall, ritalin),
  • Benzodiazepines (e.g. xanax, valium),
  • Narcotic pain medications (e.g. oxycodone, codeine)
For eligible medications, please have your existing or most recent prescription ready for the doctor to review during your appointment. Please note that prescription renewals cannot be guaranteed, as the issuance of any prescription is up to the discretion of the attending physician.

Digital Prescriptions

If the physician provides a prescription, it will be issued digitally:

  • While many pharmacies in Itay accept digital prescriptions, some may require a printed copy or even the original prescription. We recommend printing your prescription before going to the pharmacy.
  • If you are unable to print the prescription, you may need to try more than one pharmacy. Please note that the acceptance of digital prescriptions is determined by the pharmacy and is outside the clinic’s control.
  • If the medication requires an original prescription, the clinic can mail the prescription to you for an additional shipping fee determined by location and urgency.

Due to local regulations, consultations for medical certificates of any nature cannot be provided via Telemedicine. Including, but not limited to, a medical sports certificate, a fit-to-fly certificate, etc. 

Alternatively, these can be evaluated in-person at our physical clinics based in Rome and Milan. For more information, please visit firstmedcenters.it

  • Please note that evaluation for a medical sports certificate requires an in-person appointment with cardiology not general medicine.

Due to local regulations, prescribing Paxlovid or Covid-19 anti-viral medication is not available via telemedicine.
