What a Subscription Is and How It Works
A subscription at Verge is designed to support ongoing telehealth treatment. Rather than placing one-time orders, a subscription provides a structured way to receive medication refills with continued provider oversight.
What a Subscription Provides
When you have a subscription, you get:
Ongoing medication refills — Your treatment continues without needing to start from scratch each time
Provider review at each refill — A licensed provider evaluates your progress before each refill is approved
Continued support — Access to messaging and clinical guidance throughout your treatment
Dose adjustments when appropriate — Your provider can modify your dose based on how you respond
How Subscriptions Differ From One-Time Orders
With a one-time order, you complete the intake process, receive approval, and get your medication once. If you want more, you start over.
With a subscription, your treatment is managed as an ongoing process. Each refill is tied to a medical review, and your care is adjusted as needed.
No Auto-Renewals, No Long-Term Contracts
Verge does not lock you into auto-renewals or long-term commitments. Key points:
You are not automatically charged on a schedule
There are no long-term contracts or commitments
You can modify or cancel your plan at any time
You are free to pause or stop treatment if your needs change
For detailed information on how to manage or cancel your subscription, see the article on How Subscription Timing Works.
How the Refill Cycle Works
Each time you request a refill, the process follows the same core steps:
You Initiate a Refill
You request your next shipment through your account when you're ready for more medication.
Provider Review
A licensed medical provider reviews your current status, progress, and any updates you provide. They evaluate:
How you've responded to treatment
Any side effects or concerns
Whether your current dose is still appropriate
Approval & Dose Adjustment
If approved, your prescription is updated if needed and sent to the pharmacy. Your dose may be adjusted based on your progress.
Pharmacy Preparation
The pharmacy prepares your medication. Because compounded medications are made to order, preparation takes time.
Shipping
Once ready, your medication ships directly to your door. Most orders arrive within 7–10 business days from approval.

Why Ongoing Prescription Is Required
GLP-1 medications and other compounded treatments are prescription-only. This means:
Each refill requires a new medical review by a licensed provider
Your prescription cannot be automatically refilled without evaluation
Medication is prepared specifically for you after approval
This ensures your treatment remains safe and appropriate for your current health status.
What You Control
While providers manage the medical side, you control the timing:
When to refill — You decide when to request your next shipment
When to pause or stop — You can cancel your subscription at any time
When to communicate — You can message your care team with questions or concerns
Summary
A subscription at Verge provides structured, ongoing access to telehealth treatment with provider oversight at each refill. You receive medication refills, clinical review, and continued support — without auto-renewals or long-term contracts. You can modify or cancel your plan at any time.
