Illinois has broad telehealth prescribing parity compared with many states, which is why video-first digital health engineering and operations teams in Evanston are a normal account type for us. Controlled substances are still federal: testosterone remains Schedule III, and Ryan Haight is not waived by a friendly state telehealth statute. For the underlying 503A vs 503B split, we keep a longer explainer on 503A vs 503B compounding rather than restating it on every city URL.
