Can Indigo manage my prescriptions if I don’t have a primary care provider?
You don’t need to have a primary care provider to get started with GLP-1 treatment through Indigo. Our clinicians can provide ongoing prescription management and follow-up care as you continue treatment.That means you can continue getting the care and prescription support you need without having to establish with a separate primary care provider first.
How often do I need to follow up on my progress?
Most patients have a follow-up visit about one month after starting a GLP-1. After that, we typically see patients every one to three months, depending on their progress and individual needs. These visits give you an opportunity to check in with your clinician, talk about how treatment is going and discuss any questions or concerns.
How does prescription renewal work at Indigo Urgent Care?
Prescription renewals are part of your ongoing GLP-1 care with Indigo. During your follow-up visits, your clinician will check in on your progress, discuss how your treatment is going and determine whether continuing your prescription is appropriate.
Because prescription renewals are part of your ongoing care, keeping up with your follow-up visits helps you clinician monitor your progress and determine next steps. If you have questions or concerns, or need to discuss your prescription sooner, you can schedule an earlier video visit with Indigo.
What if I need more support than Indigo can offer?
If your needs go beyond what Indigo can provide, we partner with the MultiCare Medical Weight Loss program and can provide a referral to their team.
That means you can start your GLP-1 care with Indigo and connect with additional support if your needs change.
