A short route to the source.

For the online assessment

The Federation of State Medical Boards suggests care rules for the state boards that oversee doctors. HHS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, explains licensing across locations.

The suggested rules give boards advice. Enforceable requirements are decided by each state.

For the medicine being offered

FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. Its compounding pages explain made-to-order medicine and the limits of the agency’s review.

Look up the exact medicine name. Information about one medicine may not apply to another, even when both are called peptides.

For public license records

The medical boards’ directory leads to the state boards that license doctors, while FDA links to state pharmacy license searches.

Use the relevant board’s own record for the name you are checking. A directory is a route to that record.

For Medicare payment questions

CMS, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, publishes the Medicare program details. Go over the program’s eligibility rules with your insurance plan and your prescriber.

For a medicine problem

MedWatch lets patients report problems with medicines to FDA for free.

A report on its own cannot show that a medicine caused the problem.

Keep the dates with the claims
