Medical Standards

Independent Physicians.
Uncompromising Standards.

Every patient who submits an intake to Grace Longevity is reviewed by an independent, board-certified physician before any clinical decision is made. No exceptions.

The Independence Principle

Why Independent Physicians Matter

Grace Longevity is a health technology platform — not a clinic, not a medical provider. We do not employ physicians, and we do not influence clinical decisions. Every physician who reviews a patient intake is an independent, licensed practitioner operating under their own medical license and professional judgment.

This structure exists for one reason: your safety. When a physician determines whether you are a candidate for semaglutide or tirzepatide, that determination is made purely on clinical grounds — your health history, your current medications, your BMI, and the evidence-based prescribing criteria for GLP-1 therapies.

Grace Longevity facilitates access. The physician makes the call.

Clinically Independent

All prescribing decisions are made solely by the reviewing physician, not by Grace Longevity.

Board Certified

Every reviewing physician holds active board certification in a relevant specialty — Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Endocrinology.

Licensed in Your State

Your intake is always reviewed by a physician holding an active medical license in your state of residence — a legal requirement for all prescriptions.

Network Standards

Our Physician Credentialing Requirements

Grace Longevity works exclusively with physicians who meet every one of the following criteria. These are not suggestions — they are non-negotiable requirements for participation in our network.

01

Active State Medical License

An unrestricted, current medical license in every state where they review patients. License status is verified before onboarding and monitored continuously.

02

Board Certification

Active board certification through ABOM (Obesity Medicine), ABIM (Internal Medicine), ABEM (Emergency Medicine), or equivalent recognized certifying body.

03

GLP-1 Clinical Experience

Demonstrated clinical experience prescribing and managing GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies, including familiarity with current FDA-approved dosing protocols and contraindication screening.

04

Clean Disciplinary Record

No history of license suspension, revocation, or disciplinary action by any state medical board. Background checks are conducted at onboarding and renewed annually.

05

Malpractice Coverage

Active professional liability (malpractice) insurance coverage is required. Proof of coverage is verified at onboarding and must remain current throughout the engagement.

06

Evidence-Based Practice

All prescribing decisions must align with current FDA-approved indications and evidence-based clinical guidelines. Prescribing outside established protocols is not permitted within our network.

The Review Process

What Happens When You Submit Your Intake

01

Intake Received

Your completed health assessment is securely received and encrypted. No physician has access until your submission is complete.

02

Physician Assignment

Your intake is routed to a board-certified physician licensed in your state — matched automatically based on your location and the therapy you've selected.

03

Clinical Review

The physician reviews your health history, current medications, BMI, and disclosed conditions against established eligibility criteria for GLP-1 therapy.

04

Consultation if Needed

If additional clinical information is required, a brief telehealth call is scheduled. Most straightforward cases are resolved through asynchronous review alone.

05

Determination & Next Steps

You receive a clear determination within one business day. If approved, your prescription is sent directly to a licensed pharmacy. If not, you'll receive a plain-language explanation.

Common Questions

Physician Network FAQ

Who are the physicians that review my intake?
Grace Longevity works exclusively with independent, board-certified physicians. All reviewing physicians hold active state medical licenses and maintain board certification in specialties including Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Endocrinology. No physician in our network has had disciplinary action or license restrictions.
Do the physicians work directly for Grace Longevity?
No. All physicians who review Grace Longevity patient intakes are independent, licensed practitioners. This structure ensures that all clinical decisions — including eligibility and dosing — are made independently by qualified medical professionals, free from commercial influence. Grace Longevity facilitates access. The physician makes the clinical call.
Will I speak directly with a physician?
For most patients, the physician review is asynchronous — your intake is reviewed and a determination is made without a live call. If your case requires additional clinical assessment, a brief telehealth video or phone consultation will be scheduled before any prescription is issued. This keeps the process efficient without sacrificing clinical rigor.
What if I'm not approved?
The physician consultation fee applies regardless of the eligibility outcome — this compensates the physician for their professional time reviewing your case. If you are not approved, you will receive a clear explanation of the clinical reasoning. No medication will be dispensed and no further charges will occur. The physician's determination is final and made in the interest of your safety.
How long does the physician review take?
Most intakes are reviewed within one business day. If a telehealth consultation is required, scheduling typically adds 1–3 business days. Once the physician issues a prescription, your medication is dispatched from a licensed pharmacy and typically arrives within 3–5 business days.
