Hormones
Can a nurse practitioner prescribe hormone therapy?
Yes, in states where the nurse practitioner holds an active license and within their scope of practice. Some states require physician collaboration or supervision, and telehealth rules add another layer, which is why your state is confirmed before any care begins.
How prescribing works
Family nurse practitioners are licensed to evaluate patients, order labs and prescribe medications within their scope. Scope, supervision and collaboration requirements vary by state.
Telehealth adds state rules
States set rules for remote evaluation, and controlled substances such as testosterone have additional federal and state requirements. Current rules are verified at the time of care.
