What to know first
Fast onboarding has two failure modes. The good kind: an asynchronous intake form, a clinician review, a same-day or next-day prescription. The bad kind: a fast intake that skips the clinical context that would surface contraindications. The programs below all fall into the first category, fast because of operational efficiency, not because of clinical shortcuts.
What we considered
- Time from sign-up to first prescription (in days)
- Async vs sync consultation
- Clinical safety: do they screen for contraindications properly?
- Whether the speed extends to refills and dose changes
