Who provides care

Medical care is provided by independently licensed providers of our affiliated medical practices. Vitality Testosterone Replacement Therapy runs the website, scheduling, care coordination, billing and technology, and does not practice medicine.

Medical services are provided by independently licensed physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants of our affiliated medical practices and their affiliated professional entities. Vitality Testosterone Replacement Therapy provides administrative and technology support and does not practice medicine. All treatment decisions are made at the sole discretion of the treating provider. Medications are dispensed by licensed pharmacies. This website is an advertisement for medical services and is not medical advice. If you have a medical emergency, call 911.

Our affiliated medical practices are professional medical practices owned and led by licensed physicians. Their physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants evaluate patients, order and review lab work, diagnose, and prescribe when they decide it is appropriate.

Each provider's name and license type (MD, DO, NP or PA) will be shown on their profile, with the states where they are licensed. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants work within the scope of practice and supervision or collaboration rules of their state.

Vitality Testosterone Replacement Therapy supports the medical practices under a management services agreement. It provides the website, phone lines, scheduling, care coordinators, billing, office space and equipment, and technology.

The company does not employ the providers to make medical decisions, does not tell them what to prescribe, and is not paid based on whether a prescription is written. The medical practices own their patients' medical records.

Your care coordinator is a real person with a direct line who handles the practical side of your care. A coordinator is not a clinician and does not give medical advice.

Your coordinator schedules your labs and visits, explains each step and its cost before you pay, handles orders and receipts, and checks in on you. Medical questions go to your provider. In an emergency, call 911.

Lab work is done at a partner lab near you, ordered for you. Some offices may also draw blood. The lab runs the tests and sends the results to your provider.

If a provider prescribes a medication, a licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and ships it to you.

The company does not make, compound or dispense medications. Some prescribed medications may be compounded by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Compounded medications are not generic versions of any brand-name drug and have not been shown to work the same way. If a provider prescribes a compounded medication, it is prepared by a state-licensed pharmacy, and your provider tells you which applies to you.

Every treatment decision belongs to the treating provider, who makes it with your input. Treatment starts only after your lab results are in and a licensed provider has gone through them with you.

A provider can decide that treatment is not appropriate, change a plan, stop a medication or refer you elsewhere. Paying a fee does not change that. Prescription treatment requires an evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider, who decides whether treatment is appropriate for you. Not everyone qualifies. Completing an assessment, booking a visit, or paying a fee does not guarantee a prescription.

You are seen only by a provider licensed in the state where you are located during the visit. Services are available only in states where our providers are licensed.

Visits are at a local office or by secure video where available. State and federal rules on in-person exams are followed by each provider. See the Telehealth Consent for how that works.

You can contact the licensing board of the state where you received care about any provider.
