Returns Policy
Effective Date: 20-Jan-2024
Last Updated: 20-Dec-2024
1. Introduction and Scope
1.1 Purpose
This Refund Policy (“Policy”) outlines LifeRx.md’s (“LifeRx.md,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) strict no-refund position regarding prescription medications and associated services. This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use and is essential for understanding the finality of your purchase decisions.
1.2 Policy Statement
Due to federal regulations, state laws, and critical patient safety requirements governing prescription medications across all fifty (50) U.S. states, LifeRx.md CANNOT and WILL NOT accept returns or issue refunds for any prescribed medications under any circumstances once they have been dispensed or shipped. This position is non-negotiable and applies uniformly across our entire service area.
1.3 Scope of Application
Our no-refund policy applies to all services provided through our website, including medical consultations, prescription medications dispensed or shipped through our service, and any associated healthcare services. This policy governs all transactions conducted through LifeRx.md, with all records maintained for seven (7) years in accordance with legal requirements.
1.4 Legal and Safety Foundation
The foundation of this Policy rests on comprehensive federal laws governing prescription medication handling, state pharmacy board regulations, FDA requirements for medication integrity, drug supply chain security requirements, and public health and safety protocols. Our commitment to maintaining these standards supports the safe delivery of healthcare services across all states where we operate.
1.5 Understanding Your Purchase
By initiating any medication purchase through our website, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that all medication purchases are final, no returns will be accepted, no refunds will be issued, these requirements are mandated by law, and these terms are non-negotiable. Our 24/7 support team remains available at (609) 201-0119 to address any questions before you proceed with your purchase.
2. Legal Framework
Federal law strictly prohibits the return and resale of prescription medications once they have left the pharmacy’s control. Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), medications must maintain a secure, traceable chain of custody from manufacturer to patient to prevent contamination, tampering, and the introduction of counterfeit drugs into the supply chain. Once a medication leaves our control, its integrity and security can no longer be guaranteed, making it impossible to accept returns or issue refunds.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains strict requirements regarding medication storage, handling, and distribution. These requirements ensure patient safety and maintain the integrity of the prescription drug supply chain. The FDA does not recognize any circumstance under which a dispensed prescription medication can be returned to stock and resold, even if the package remains sealed or unopened. All records related to medication dispensing and distribution are maintained for seven (7) years in accordance with federal requirements.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations further strengthen these protections by prohibiting the return of controlled substances in any circumstance once they have been dispensed to a patient. While LifeRx.md does not prescribe controlled substances through our website, these regulations reflect the broader regulatory framework governing prescription medication handling across all fifty (50) U.S. states where we operate.
State boards of pharmacy across our entire service area have adopted similar positions, prohibiting pharmacies from accepting returned medications or issuing refunds for dispensed prescriptions. These regulations exist to protect public health and safety, prevent medication tampering, ensure drug efficacy, maintain supply chain integrity, prevent drug diversion, and protect patient safety. For specific questions about state regulations, you may contact our legal counsel, A.Y. Strauss, at 290 West Mt. Pleasant Ave. #3260, Livingston, NJ 07039.
This comprehensive legal framework, spanning federal, state, and regulatory bodies, forms the foundation of our no-return, no-refund policy. LifeRx.md is legally obligated to maintain this position without exception to comply with these requirements and protect public health. Our support team is available 24/7 at (609) 201-0119 or info@LifeRxtelemd.com to address any questions about these legal requirements.
3. Medication Policy
ALL PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION SALES THROUGH LIFERX.MD ARE FINAL. Once a medication has been dispensed or shipped through our website, we cannot accept returns or issue refunds under any circumstances across any of the fifty (50) U.S. states where we operate. This policy applies regardless of whether the package has been opened, whether you have changed your mind about the treatment, or whether you have not used the medication.
This absolute prohibition on returns protects you and all our patients. Once a medication leaves our pharmacy’s controlled environment, we can no longer verify that it has been properly stored, handled, or protected from tampering. Even if a package appears unopened, environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and handling conditions could have compromised the medication’s integrity. Therefore, accepting returns would pose unacceptable risks to patient safety and public health.
The integrity of the prescription drug supply chain depends on maintaining strict control over medication handling from the manufacturer to the end user. By dispensing medication to you, we complete our role in this secure supply chain. Federal law does not provide any mechanism for reintegrating dispensed medications back into the supply chain, as this would create potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by counterfeit or diverted medications. All transaction records related to medication dispensing are maintained for seven (7) years as required by law.
For these reasons, you should carefully consider your decision before confirming any medication purchase. Through our website, we ensure that you have access to complete medication information, thorough consultation with independent contracted healthcare providers, clear pricing details, comprehensive treatment explanations, and answers to any questions you may have. Our support team remains available 24/7 at (609) 201-0119 or via email at info@LifeRxtelemd.com to address any concerns before you proceed with your purchase.
Before finalizing your purchase, we want you to be fully informed and confident in your treatment decision, understanding that the transaction will be final and irreversible once processed. For questions about specific state regulations regarding medication returns, you may contact our legal counsel, A.Y. Strauss, at 290 West Mt. Pleasant Ave. #3260, Livingston, NJ 07039.
4. Service Structure
To ensure complete transparency about our payment and service structure through the LifeRx.md website, you should understand how each service component is billed and how our no-refund policy applies across all fifty (50) U.S. states where we operate.
4.1 Medication Charges
Medication charges represent the cost of your prescribed medications and are always final and non-refundable once the prescription has been processed for dispensing. These charges appear separately on your billing statement to clearly distinguish them from other service components. All medication transaction records are maintained for seven (7) years in accordance with legal requirements.
4.2 Medical Consultation Fees
Medical consultation fees are charged when you meet with our independent contracted healthcare providers through our website. These fees are earned at the time of service and are non-refundable once the consultation has taken place. This includes both initial consultations and follow-up appointments, as these represent professional services already rendered. You initiate each monthly contact for services, and there are no automatic renewals or recurring charges for consultations.
4.3 Payment Processing
Our payment processing occurs at specific points in your care journey, with all charges clearly disclosed before you incur them:
- Consultation fees are charged only when appointments are completed
- Medication charges are processed only when prescriptions are dispensed
- Each service requires your explicit authorization before processing.
We maintain detailed transaction records and clearly identify each charge type on your billing statements. This transparency helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and when charges will occur. You must explicitly agree to our no-refund policy before completing any transaction.
