FAQ
Questions about Temi and TelyRx
What is the difference between Temi and TelyRx?
TelyRx reviews your request and then sells and ships the medication from its own pharmacy, for a flat $22 per order plus the medication and shipping. Temi reviews one medication for $15 and sends the prescription to the pharmacy you choose, where you pay for the medication yourself and can use insurance or a discount card.
Is Temi cheaper than TelyRx?
It depends on what you are buying, and neither service is uniformly cheaper. TelyRx charges one flat $22 provider's fee per order, however many medications are on it, then the medication at its own price and $12.99 to $34.99 for shipping. Temi charges $15 for each medication reviewed, adds no shipping fee, and the pharmacy you choose bills you for the medication, where insurance or a discount card can bring that price down.
Is Temi a TelyRx alternative?
Yes. Both have a licensed provider review your request online, with no appointment. Temi does not dispense: the prescription goes to the pharmacy you name, each medication is reviewed for $15, and the review is backed by the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee.
Can I use my insurance with TelyRx?
No. Their site states that “All prescriptions fulfilled by TelyRx are processed without health insurance.” At Temi the prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose, so you can pay there however you like, insurance or a discount card included.
Can I keep my own pharmacy?
Yes. You name the pharmacy and the prescription goes there. Temi does not dispense or ship medication, so the pharmacy you already use, around the corner or by mail, stays your pharmacy.
Do I pay Temi again for every refill?
Not for every pickup. Each $15 request buys one physician review and one prescription, and the reviewing physician decides 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 California, Delaware, Florida, Michigan, 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.
