Can You Get Prescription Refills Through Telehealth?
Medically reviewed by Linda Girgis | MD, Girgis Family Medicine on August 22nd, 2026.
Yes, most prescription refills can be obtained through telehealth services. Licensed physicians can refill existing prescriptions for chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and mental health medications after reviewing your medical history and current symptoms. Telehealth refills are typically processed within 24 hours of your consultation. However, controlled substances like opioids and stimulants generally require in-person visits due to federal regulations. Over 85% of routine prescription refills can be handled through virtual consultations, making it a convenient option for ongoing medication management.
