Safe – effective – private – quick and amazingly inexpensive – Lyric Urgent Care and Lyric Primary Care – smart healthcare.

At LYRIC, the doctors in our network are put through a strict training, credential verification and review process.

Network physicians are:

  • Licensed in their respective states
  • Covered by malpractice insurance for our network consultations
  • All located in the United States


Physicians must meet rigorous background standards and undergo a multi-stage interview process. They are assessed on the basis of medical treatment proficiency, strengths in personal communication, and their ability to confidently treat patients on the telemedicine platform in the patient’s chosen language.

As a member there is no cost for any typical medical consultation. They are included as part of your monthly membership.  For those families in the “Primary Care” program there is a $25 consultation fee (much like an insurance co-pay) only when visiting with your chosen Primary Care doctor.

Yes. If the doctor’s recommended treatment includes a prescription, one will be sent to your pharmacy of choice.  Non-therapeutic drugs (such as Propecia and Viagra) are only available for prescription by our network physicians in the “Primary Care” membership. (Federal law prohibits the scripting of controlled substances by a telehealth provider.)

Physicians providing consultations for LYRIC members may offer online prescriptions* for a wide range of products that deliver direct medicinal value. These include, but are not limited to, drug classes such as antibiotics and antihistamines. Convenience prescriptions for maintenance medicines may also be obtained in cases where a member is in transition to a new insurance plan or doctor and at any time in the core plan. There is no guarantee that an online prescription will be issued on any consultation and online prescriptions will only be issued if the physician is able to gather the appropriate information to accurately diagnose and treat a given condition. Physicians in the Primary Care plan will be able to prescribe maintenance medications. 

It is important to note that LYRIC.com is not a drug fulfillment warehouse. In the event a physician does prescribe medication, he/she will usually limit the supply to no more than thirty days in the core plan. Lyric “Primary Care” patients with chronic illnesses will be able to get maintenance prescriptions with their chosen Virtual Primary Care physician.

LYRIC network physicians do not issue online prescriptions for substances regulated by the DEA, that may be harmful (potential for abuse or addiction).

It is important that expired, damaged, and unusable medications are disposed of properly. Please follow the instructions detailed on the FDA website regarding proper methods of disposing unused medicines.

*Online prescriptions will only be issued when indicated and approved by a physician, and as permitted by law in your state.

An EMR is a digital version of a paper chart that contains a patient’s medical history for a particular medical practice.  LYRIC provides a HIPAA-compliant and confidential EMR record for each patient.  The EMR is updated after every consultation to ensure continuity across our entire network.  Only the patient and the LYRIC physician treating that patient will have access to the EMR.

In addition, LYRIC records every doctor consultation and stores the recording in the patient portal so that you may always go back to your records to access your recordings.  This way, nothing is left to memory! You will always know the best course of action to quickly get back to good health.
