Telehealth options for Indiana residents

Most major telehealth providers (Ro, Form Health, Hims) operate in Indiana. Specific telehealth rules — particularly for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide — vary. Some compounded routes are unavailable in Indiana due to state-specific telehealth prescribing rules. Verify the provider lists Indiana as a service state before signing up.
