An in-person route or an online route
Bring the question to an existing care visit, or ask a licensed in-person clinic how it assesses requests for tesamorelin.
Telehealth can involve a video visit, a telephone call or messages exchanged online. Ask how to speak with your treating professional.
HHS guidance checked on 26 September 2026 calls for a license or other permission in the state where the patient receives the visit.
HHS is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Check the care records
Check the doctor’s record
State medical boards keep records of whether a doctor has a license and whether the board has disciplined the doctor. Discipline means penalties imposed by the board.
Use the board directory below to find the board for your state.
Look for the full name, whether the license is current and any discipline by the board.
The board record may show no discipline without answering how good the doctor’s care is.
Check the pharmacy separately
Pharmacies have their own state licensing boards.
Ask which pharmacy will supply the medicine, then use the government license-search page below.
That search can confirm a license; it cannot prove that every medicine is being supplied correctly.
Ask what happens if the person treating you decides this treatment does not fit.
Keep this in mind
Use the doctor’s board record and the pharmacy’s board record, then ask about the care plan.
