Can the docs on healthtap prescribe pain med ,methadone?

I'll guess not: I'd be surprised and not pleased if they could. I'd hope they'd decide on their own to decline. It's not good to do that w/out close, frequent contact in person - risks include physical, social, legal and psychological ones and all are serious!

No.: Controlled substances like narcotic pain medications cannot be prescribed in this medium.
