Public-interest investigation desk
Documentation, accountability, and a quieter place to report what telehealth gets wrong.
We stand for patients and the public record — not clinics, pharmacies, processors, or affiliate programs. We collect complaints and packaging evidence, track industry patterns, and share curated material with regulators, newsrooms, and nonprofit watchdogs when the facts justify it.
Transparency here means honest product identity, a named pharmacy of record, marketing that matches the science, clear affiliate compensation, and payment rails that do not look the other way. Submissions are private by default. We are not a law firm, government agency, or medical provider.
Tracked public cases
News investigations, agency actions, and litigation peers — each with a public-record summary partners can open for pattern context.
EllieMD
Cash-pay telehealth marketing compounded GLP-1s and peptides, with a Brand Partner / MLM layer — and research-grade peptides offered for human consumption.
Mochi / Aequita
KING 5 “$elling $kinny” series on telehealth weight-loss drugs and Aequita Pharmacy — state inspection, Immediate Jeopardy finding, and halt of GLP-1 compounding at the supplier.
Zappy / Ousia
NPR pharmaceuticals reporting: sterile compounding tied to a telehealth brand without the sterile authority patients assumed — followed by license relinquishment under scrutiny.
MEDVi
Business Insider on Meta ads using AI / fabricated “doctor” personas; FDA warning letter on compounder identity and GLP-1 brand-equivalence claims — company says the cited site was an affiliate.
Henry Meds
Named defendant in Eli Lilly’s 2025 false-advertising / compounded GLP-1 telehealth litigation cluster — part of brand-name manufacturer pushback against compounder marketing.
Fella
Men’s telehealth brand named in Eli Lilly’s 2025 compounded GLP-1 litigation cluster alongside other cash-pay compounder platforms.

National DTC telehealth scale-up; public reporting on HHS→DOJ referral path involving oral compounded semaglutide — an agency-escalation case study.
Disclosure
Investigative partners
When we document telehealth harms, we file and share packages with regulators, state boards, payment networks, and nonprofit / pharmacy-integrity tip channels. We list those institutions here so patients and partners know who may receive the information we collect.
Listing is not an endorsement, sponsorship, or formal joint venture. These entities do not operate Telehealth Transparency. Sharing follows our methodology and counsel review; your contact details are not published by default.
Federal agencies
Drug, advertising, and consumer-protection channels for health and deception filings.

Unlawful sales · Bad Ad · MedWatch · OCI (counsel-gated)
Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
ReportFraud · deceptive marketing · MLM patterns
FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
Significant internet fraud / consumer loss
State boards & agencies
Sovereign licensing and consumer-protection agencies — they can inspect facilities, discipline licensees, and open AG investigations. Not advocacy groups: each board’s power is tied to a specific state’s Pharmacy Practice Act or medical board statute.
Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP)
Facility & pharmacist-in-charge complaints for Texas compounding / telehealth shippers
State boards of pharmacy (multi-state)
Non-resident / compounding for ship-to & home states · board finder via NABP

Nonprofit & pharmacy-integrity bodies
Advocacy, adjudication-of-ads, and online-pharmacy safety tip channels. They amplify, petition, and publish — they do not revoke a pharmacy license (that’s still a state board). NABP sits here as the boards’ association tip desk, not as a substitute for the Texas or destination board filing.
