Telehealth Provider Methodology
The transparent rubric behind every American Telehealth Review ranking, with each factor and its weight.
How does American Telehealth Review score providers?
American Telehealth Review scores providers on a transparent rubric: licensure and provider oversight (25%), pharmacy transparency (20%), pricing transparency (20%), patient support (15%), safety/compliance language (10%), and accessibility/state coverage (10%). We do not use star ratings, fabricated review scores, or paid placement.
