How to Transfer Your GLP-1 Prescription to a New Provider

With the 503B regulatory changes forcing some providers to close or restructure, prescription transfers are becoming common. Step 1: Request your medical records from your current provider — prescription history, dose titration notes, lab work, and consultation records.

What You Need to Know

You have a legal right to these under HIPAA. Step 2: Research your new provider before disconnecting from the current one. Confirm they can prescribe your current medication at your current dose. Step 3: Provide your new provider with your complete medication history at intake.

The Details

This should include your current medication and dose, how long you've been on treatment, side effects experienced, weight loss achieved, and any lab results. Step 4: Confirm dose continuity. The biggest transfer risk is unnecessary re-titration — starting over from the lowest dose when you're already stable at a maintenance level. A good provider will review your history and continue at your established dose. Step 5: Time the switch to avoid gaps. Start the new provider intake process 2–3 weeks before your current prescription runs out..
