A question kit for finding care
Bring a question. Expect a clear answer.
Online care and in-person care are settings for an assessment. Ask what happens before, during, and after it.
You can raise the question in an in-person medical visit or ask a licensed telehealth service how it would assess you. Start with your concern, rather than with a demand for sermorelin.
Say what has changed, what bothers you most, and what you hope care could help with. Ask whether that service can assess the problem or would refer you elsewhere.
A question to take with you
If this needs an examination or a test, how will you arrange it?
As of September 26, 2026, the medical boards’ federation rejects treatment based only on a fixed form that cannot gather enough information for proper care.
Its guidance allows responsive online assessments where the clinician can ask more questions.
That guidance is a model for boards; state law decides the enforceable requirements.
Ask how you can talk back. A place to describe your concern in your own words is more useful than guessing which box comes closest.
Evidence to keep in view
In guidance adopted in May 2026, the medical boards’ federation said choosing a treatment from a menu alone does not meet the care standard.
The guidance also calls for a channel where patients can raise later questions; it is not itself national law.
The federation’s policy says a clinician must arrange needed testing or refer for it when the assessment calls for more.
When a physical examination or procedure is needed, its policy also calls for follow-up in person.
Bring the same short note to either setting: a remote appointment or a visit in person.
