Fort Lauderdale FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry

Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33301.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.

Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
