Below are the answers to the most common questions we hear.

About Ready

What is Ready?

Ready is a digital platform that connects those seeking healthcare to medical professionals and pharmacy services.

How does it work?

Prospective patients complete an online consultation regarding their symptoms, medical and social histories. This information is reviewed by a healthcare professional and, if applicable, medication is prescribed and patients are enrolled in a monthly or quaterly subscription service.

This medication is discreetly delivered via free 2-day shipping.

Is my information secure?

Patient safety and security is an absolute priority. Our services meet with all HIPAA privacy and safety standards and you can also read our privacy policy here.

Why do I need to complete an online consultation?

In order to determine whether your symptoms may be treated effectively, it is important for a healthcare professional to review your symptoms, medical and social histories.

In most cases the entire consult may be done online but a small number of states require a brief video consultation. If you live in one of these states a healthcare provider will contact you to schedule a convenient time.

Who will review my information?

Your information will only be reviewed by the healthcare professional assigned to your patient chart.

Do I still need to see a primary care physician?

Not for our services, however, Ready is an option to help you with certain symptoms and/or conditions but it is not a replacement to your primary care provider.

Is it legal to order medication online?

Yes. The healthcare providers you will meet through the Ready digital platform are US-licensed and compliant with the telemedicine laws in their particular jurisdiction.

How do I contact my doctor?

You can message your care team anytime by logging in to the Patient Portal.

How do I choose my pharmacy?

This service is not yet available, but come back soon...

Why do you need a picture of my ID and face?

Your care provider must verify your identity in order to prescribe medication. To do so, we need two photos:

  1. A photo of your government-issued ID
    Must include:
    • First & last name
    • Photo
    • Date of birth
    • ID expiration date (cannot be expired)
  2. A clear photo of your face
    Cannot include:
    • Sunglasses, hats, or other facial obstructions
    • Family photos
    • Filters
    • Pictures of a picture

We'll use these photos only to confirm that the pictures match each other.

ED Treatment

What is ED?

According to the Mayo Clinic erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex.

Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

What medication do you offer?

We offer the most well-studied and universally prescribed medications to treat ED.

Sildenafil (generic Viagra) in 60mg doses for as needed use.

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) in 5mg doses for daily use.

Can ED be diagnosed remotely?

In most cases, yes. Based on your symptoms, medical and social histories, your medical professional should be able to diagnose whether ED treatment will prove to be effective for you.

In some cases your healthcare provider may wish to speak with you in order to clarify certain symptoms or history questions.

Why do I need to know my blood pressure?

ED is a condition that is related to a lack of blood flow to the penis. As such, blood pressure is an important factor in determining whether ED medication will be both effective and, most importantly, safe.

How can I take my blood pressure?

There are many devices commonly sold on the market that will allow you to take your blood pressure at home. In addition, there are many walk-in pharmacies that have machines that are free to use. You can also schedule a physical with your primary care provider.

What if I have side effects?

If your side effects are severe, please contact 911. For other side effects, you can contact your provider anytime by logging in to the Patient Portal and sending a secure message.
