Telemedicine & Remote Care
Telemedicine Consent
Last revised January 17, 2026
Nature of Telemedicine
Telemedicine allows a licensed clinician to evaluate, diagnose, and treat you without an in-person visit. Consultations may occur through secure messaging, audio, video, or phone. Because no physical examination is performed, providers rely on the accuracy and clarity of the information and photos you submit.
Scope of Services
Thryvera offers evaluation and treatment for dermatologic conditions appropriate for telehealth. If clinically appropriate, a provider may prescribe a personalized prescription-strength skincare formulation.
Providers may decline treatment or recommend in-person medical care if:
- •telemedicine is not suitable for your presentation,
- •a physical examination is required,
- •information submitted is incomplete or unclear, or
- •treatment is not medically recommended.
Thryvera does not treat medical emergencies. In an emergency, call 911 or seek immediate in-person care.
Risks, Benefits & Alternatives
Potential benefits include convenience, timely access to care, and the ability to receive treatment remotely.
Potential risks include:
- •delays due to technical issues,
- •incomplete information impacting clinical decision-making,
- •rare unauthorized access despite security safeguards.
Alternatives include an in-person visit with a dermatologist or primary care provider.
Privacy & Security
Your information is protected under HIPAA and handled according to our Privacy Policy. Security safeguards include encryption, access controls, and secure audit logging. Despite these measures, no system can guarantee absolute protection from unauthorized access.
Communications
By using Thryvera, you consent to receive communications related to your care via:
- •secure portal messaging,

All communications become part of your medical record.
Prescription & Fulfillment
If treatment is approved, your prescription may be filled by Thryvera's licensed dispensing facility. If you prefer another licensed pharmacy, email support@thryvera.com or send a secure message. We will transmit the prescription provided the receiving pharmacy can legally prepare the formulation. Filling externally may affect cost, timing, or availability.
Thryvera does not prescribe controlled substances, weight-loss medications, GLP-1 agents, or drugs outside our dermatology scope.
Financial Responsibility
When you submit your medical intake, a temporary authorization is placed on your card for the first-month total (e.g., $119), which includes a $20 clinical consultation component.
- •If treatment is not approved, the full authorization is released automatically.
- •If treatment is approved, the authorization is captured as payment for your first shipment.
