Need a Prescription Refill While Visiting Texas?
If you are visiting Texas and your regular medication is unavailable, MedRefillCare can evaluate eligible established, non-controlled medication refill requests for adults physically located in Texas.
$39 self-pay for patients not using insurance for the visit. Prescriptions are not guaranteed and are issued only when medically appropriate.

Short answer: If you are an adult physically located in Texas and need an established, non-controlled medication, a Texas-licensed clinician may be able to evaluate a refill request by telehealth. The clinician must still decide whether prescribing is safe and appropriate.
Visiting from another U.S. state?
Your home address does not have to be in Texas for this Texas telehealth pathway. What matters for the encounter is that you are physically located in Texas when care is provided.
Have your usual medication name, strength, directions, pharmacy information, and relevant medical history available.
Visiting from another country?
A foreign prescription is not automatically transferred or refilled. The clinician performs an independent evaluation and may ask for the original package, prescription information, records, or prescriber details before deciding whether a U.S. prescription is appropriate.
What should I have ready?
- Medication bottle, box, blister pack, or a clear label photo
- Generic and brand name if known
- Strength, dose, and how often you take it
- Allergies and current medications
- Relevant recent blood pressure, glucose, or laboratory results when available
- Your regular prescriber or prior prescription information
- The Texas pharmacy where you would like a prescription sent, if one is issued
When a simple refill may not be appropriate
- Controlled substances or medications outside this service
- A medication you have never taken before
- A major dose change, restart after a long gap, or unstable condition
- New symptoms that need urgent or in-person evaluation
- Missing monitoring that the clinician considers necessary for safe prescribing
Frequently asked questions
Can a prescription be sent to a pharmacy near my hotel?
If a prescription is medically appropriate, you can generally choose a Texas pharmacy near where you are staying.
What if I do not have the medication bottle?
Other evidence of established therapy may help, such as a pharmacy app, prior prescription, medical record, or prescriber information. The clinician decides whether the available information is sufficient.
Can an international visitor use the service?
Eligible adults visiting from another country may request an evaluation while physically located in Texas. A foreign prescription is not automatically refilled; the clinician performs an independent evaluation.
Is the prescription guaranteed?
No. The $39 fee covers the clinical review. Prescribing occurs only when medically appropriate.
