Frequently asked questions about online prescription and refill visits on Sesame

Medically reviewed by:Dr. Allison Edwards, MD

Online prescription refills are up to the discretion of your provider. If you’re a new patient, most providers will write a prescription for 30 days and may want to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the medication is effective. If you’re a returning patient, your provider may prescribe for a longer period of time.

Sesame providers can prescribe a wide variety of common medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, allergy medications, blood pressure medications, and more. However, they are not able to prescribe controlled substances, such as stimulants, opioids, or benzodiazepines

Please keep in mind that all prescriptions are issued at the discretion of your provider. If your provider decides a prescription is not necessary, the appointment is not refundable.

Health insurance plans publish a formulary for the drugs covered by the plan and the corresponding drug and copay prices. Check with your insurance provider to find out what drugs require authorization and the specific coverage information regarding the medication you’ve been prescribed.
