Is Temi an Amazon One Medical alternative?
For a refill without a membership, yes. If you take a non-controlled medication and are out of refills, a licensed physician reviews your request within 48 hours, often sooner, for $15 per medication, and if prescribed, it goes to the pharmacy you choose.
How does a Temi request work?
You answer questions about the medication online and submit the request. There is no live queue to sit in. A licensed physician reviews it within 48 hours, often sooner, and you hear back with the decision. If the physician needs more from you, the team asks by message.
How much does Temi cost?
$15 per medication, shown before you pay, with no membership needed. A medication you have not taken before is $79 through the New Prescription service. Your pharmacy bills you for the medication, and you may use a discount card or insurance there.
Does Temi bill my insurance?
No. Temi's fee is cash-pay and Temi never bills insurance. If prescribed, the prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose, and you may use your insurance or a discount card there to pay for the medication.
What if the physician says no?
The $15 pays for the physician's review, whatever the decision. A decision you did not want is not by itself a refund. If you are not satisfied with Temi's clinical service, tell the team why, and the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee refunds the review fee.
Can I keep my own pharmacy?
Yes. You name the pharmacy and, if prescribed, the prescription goes there, so the pharmacy you already use, around the corner or by mail, stays your pharmacy. For a refill, Temi does not dispense or ship the medication, and your pharmacy bills you for it.
Do I pay Temi again for every refill?
Not for every pickup. Each $15 request buys one physician review. If the physician approves, they decide the supply and how many pharmacy refills to put on it. Collecting a refill your pharmacy already holds costs nothing at Temi. When the prescription runs out, you submit a new $15 request.
How fast is the review?
A licensed physician reviews your request within 48 hours, often sooner. Timing depends on what the physician needs from you, so it is not a guaranteed turnaround.
Can Temi prescribe something new?
Yes. Temi's New Prescription service reviews a medication you have not taken before, for $79, or $0 with Temi Care.
What medications qualify?
Non-controlled maintenance medications. That covers blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, diabetes, acid reflux, asthma, antidepressants, birth control, and other routine prescriptions. Controlled substances and isotretinoin are refused at intake, before you pay anything.
Is there a membership, and do I need it?
No, you do not need one. The $15 on this page is the price without any membership. Temi Care is $449 a year and includes unlimited $0 prescription renewals for eligible non-controlled medications and a $0 New Prescription service. Your pharmacy still bills you for the medication either way.
What is the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee?
Tell the team you are not satisfied with Temi's clinical service and why, and the review fee is refunded. A decision you did not want is not by itself a refund, because the fee pays for the physician's review either way. Money Temi collected for something it did not deliver is always refunded.
Which states does Temi cover?
Temi reviews refills for patients physically located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. What matters is the state you are in when you submit the request, not where you used to see a doctor.
