Request hypothyroidism medication (levothyroxine) prescription renewal online

If you're an Amazon One Medical member, 24/7 On-Demand Care is included in your membership. On-Demand Care has two telehealth pathways: Direct Message Care connects you to a provider through async messaging, and Video Care connects you to a provider in real time.

If you're an Amazon One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can also get medical treatment through In-Person Visits or Scheduled Video Visits, both billable to you or your health insurance.

If you're not an Amazon One Medical member, you can still get 24/7 On-Demand Care for 30+ common health conditions by paying as you go for online treatment. To see the Direct Message Care and Video Care options where you live, get started from a condition detail page and choose your state.

Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for On-Demand Care, its 24/7 telehealth service. If you were charged for treatment as a non-member, you can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for treatment.

When you request a prescription renewal, you'll need to provide details about your last prescription, including the medication name, the dose, and the directions on the label.

There may be a limit to the number of renewal requests that a provider can evaluate during a treatment. On-Demand Care providers will not renew prescriptions that require a prior authorization from your insurance company.

We do our best to make sure you’re eligible for online treatment before you connect with a provider. When you request On-Demand Care, your health intake helps us understand whether you can be treated virtually, or if you'll need to be seen in person for more closely managed care. If your answers indicate that we can't treat you through our service, we'll let you know why, then recommend next steps so you can find the care you need.

Because the thyroid gland affects so many different organ systems, poor thyroid function can cause a wide range of side effects, including fatigue, mental health symptoms, and high blood pressure (hypertension).

If thyroid levels get dangerously low, the condition can lead to a thyroid emergency like myxedema coma, which is frequently fatal.

Symptoms of an underactive thyroid can include the following:
