Physician facts

Your physician, explained.

Every physician who treats you practices independently, holds board certification and has a license for your state. Read on to learn which network they belong to, the checks their licenses go through and the way to request details about your own physician.

How care is organized.

Your physician is an independent practitioner, not an employee of Peoples First Rx, and our telemedicine platform is not a medical practice. That physician comes from the LocumTele network, which provides clinical care to our patients. Beyond supplying physicians, LocumTele is responsible for medical oversight, for verifying each physician's licensure and for the compliance work of operating across many states, which keeps every visit inside your own state's rules. Our connection with Remedora Inc. is what links us to LocumTele. Remedora is the other party to our partnership agreement, serves as our pharmacy and fulfillment partner and works with LocumTele as well as with Rush Pharmacy, which is state-licensed and dispenses every prescription before shipping it to you.

Scope of practice and state licensure set the limits for every physician in the network. Your treating physician decides whether a prescription is medically appropriate for you, and nothing is prescribed without that decision. We never tell a physician what to prescribe, and physicians receive no payment from us for the prescriptions they write.

Checking each license

Until LocumTele has confirmed an active, unrestricted license for the state you are located in, a physician cannot review your visit. That check is made against the records of the state board that issued the license, and it is repeated each time the license renews. A lapsed or restricted license means the physician is taken off the network. Matching happens by state, so your physician always holds a license covering your location. Browse the states we serve.

Your physician's details

You will know your physician by name and professional credential. Ask patient support for their license number and issuing board, for example to verify the license with your state board yourself, and we will provide both. This is information you have a right to, and no explanation is needed.

Licensure details made public for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Rules in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont require anyone offering telemedicine there to make physician licensure information public, rather than sharing it only during a visit. Because we accept patients in all three, we publish it on this page to comply.

Asking for license details

There is no fixed list of physician names we could publish here. The physicians who treat you do not work for Peoples First Rx. Visits are paired with physicians from the LocumTele network, whose roster we never receive.

The same details are open to anyone on request. Whoever asks can learn which physician is responsible for your care, along with that physician's credential, license number and issuing board. Requests like this get an answer from us within one business day, and you don't have to be a patient or account holder or say why you are asking. Email support@peoplesfirstrx.com or call +1 (877) 908-1485.

Updates to this page

When LocumTele reports that a physician has joined or left its network, or that a physician's license status has changed, we review this page. If any detail here looks inaccurate or outdated, write to support@peoplesfirstrx.com and we will correct it.

Concerns about care

Please bring any concern about your care to us first, so we have the chance to look into it; the process is set out in Patient Safety & Complaints. Going directly to your state's medical licensing board remains open to you, and this page takes nothing away from that right.

Curious who is treating you?

Ask, and patient support will identify your physician by name and credential and tell you the license number and the licensing board.
