Just wondering if you DBers out there can provide me with info on OP requirements... Was in process of requesting consult with one of the more highly recommended sites yesterday, but stopped when I got to the line where I had to confirm that I had been seen by physician within last 30 days. Since I did not wish to be untruthful, I did not submit the request. I do not currently have insurance (back in school full time - limited budget) and have not seen a doctor in quite some time. Thought that going through US OP would be viable option for obtaining pain medication for migraines / "cluster" headaches.(My wife used to have prescription for Vicoprophen, which she was happy to share when I needed them, but has switched PCP's and no longer gets them.) What I mean is, if I had seen a doc within the last month, why would I need to pay $120 to consult with another doctor? Since I do not have a doctor that I see regularly and therefore no established history, I do not want my first visit to local doc to be for the purpose of requesting pain meds. Can any of you experienced OP users give me some advice on what to do / where to go to get some relief? Please PM me with any info that you feel would be best kept off the boards...
Thanks! -Tripp

I misread your post. Which OP requires you to have seen a doctor in the past 30 days? In my experience it has always been in the past 6 months to a year?

I bekieve that this is the link that will help you the best. You submit a medical profile, put your problem why you need the meds and such, then submit for a consult it should be 85 bucks...cheap, the Dr I had was great very nice and insiteful and helpful got the pain meds needed 100 tabs pus 2 refills, they will be 80 plus ship, they are very fast and the best Op I have came across I did a lot of reshearch and found this gem..now if it does not get ruined....I will email it to you when I can find it I cant find it and I thought it was here. I ddo not have it memorized yet...they say you have to send your ID and any med records but i have not had to as of yet..thye have been great. Most of these sites suck, really..its a nightmare...this is a god sent I will try to send it back to you..

I'd be really interested in reading it also as it's news to me too.

AAAmedsworldwide has that requirement. Since they are sister ops. I beleive 1stmeds and meds123 have it listed also. But when i sent med records to receive my refills. No problem at all. My last physical was 8 months ago.  wcs
