A good faith exam (GFE) is a legally required medical evaluation conducted by a licensed provider to assess a patient's health status, medical history, and potential contraindications before certain treatments. In states like California and Texas, it's mandatory for treatments like Botox or dermal fillers to ensure patient safety and avoid complications.

Yes. Virtual good faith exams are a compliant and efficient alternative to in-person visits. Using a secure telehealth platform like Qualiphy, patients can be evaluated in minutes by a licensed nurse practitioner—often the same day. This allows clinics to offer convenient, timely care without sacrificing compliance or safety.

Good faith exams must be conducted by qualified medical professionals such as nurse practitioners or physicians. Platforms like Qualiphy ensure all providers are credentialed, state-licensed, and compliant with local medical board requirements. This guarantees the legal and clinical integrity of every exam.

Absolutely. Virtual exams must adhere to HIPAA and state-level privacy laws. Platforms like Qualiphy use encrypted systems to protect sensitive health information and maintain confidentiality throughout the patient journey—from intake to documentation and prescription.

Virtual GFEs streamline patient care by eliminating the need for in-office visits, making them ideal for time-sensitive treatments. They boost efficiency, reduce administrative burden, increase patient satisfaction, and allow practices to expand services like GLP-1 or injectables without hiring more staff or increasing overhead.
