How prescriptions are determined
Maximus provides medical care, not stand-alone medication fulfillment.
Your clinician reviews:
Your intake questionnaire
Medical history
Symptoms
Lab results (when required)
Current medications
Prescriptions are issued only when clinically appropriate and allowed in your state.
Refill and renewal process
Some medications renew automatically, while others require additional steps before approval. These steps may include:
A renewal questionnaire
Updated labs
A clinician review
A video evaluation (when required)
You will be notified in your Maximus dashboard if any action is required before a refill can be approved.
Lab work requirements
Lab work frequency varies depending on the medication. For example, some protocols require labs at 1 month, 3 months, and annually thereafter if you continue on the protocol for a year. Lab work is not required monthly for most medications.
Follow-up labs. Your clinician may require follow-up lab tests after you've started a medication. If these are not completed, your prescription cannot be renewed.
Submitting outside lab results. If you've had lab work done in the last six months, you can upload the results through your Maximus dashboard or send them directly to the Maximus team. At-home test kits may also be available for a fee.
At-home lab kits. If your protocol uses an at-home kit, you'll receive the kit, perform the test after 3β4 weeks of medication use, and return the kit promptly for review.
Early refills
Early refills are not guaranteed. If you are running low on medication, contact support. Your clinician will determine whether an early refill is appropriate.
Common refill delays
Refills may be delayed for several reasons, including:
Missing or outdated labs
Incomplete renewal questionnaires
Pending video evaluations
State or pharmacy restrictions
Location verification issues
Completing required steps promptly helps prevent delays.

Submit renewal questionnaires on time
Use the messaging feature in your Maximus dashboard to communicate directly with your clinician for any concerns or updates
