Not at this time: From what I've heard, they can not do that. I believe it is a good policy even though I expect it is frustrating to many. In my opinion, it is really important to be able to see the patient in person to decide appropriate medication and to evaluate responses. I wish it was always given that level of respect. Sorry if it's inconvenient.

You may wish to use: Health Tap Concierge to establish a patient physician relationship with a Health Tap Psychiatrist (or neuropsychiatrist) . Some primary care physicians may be able to establish care with you and then prescribe medications through their own medical practice. The Health Tap Prime service does not at this time allow the dispensation of psychotropic medications.
