Well, I'm new to: Healthtap, but isn't this just the situation that virtual consultations are made for? The consultations are now available, although the medication part isn't as clear. Many people get an RX from their doc and then fill it online, with the doc's knowledge, so its all legit. Have you discussed this with your MD? Other than this, what country are you in and what city? Resources?
