Step 1 — LegitScript lookup
Go to legitscript.com. Use their healthcare merchant lookup. Enter the company name (e.g., NexLife).
Step 2 — Status interpretation
- Certified: Verified as legitimate U.S. telehealth/pharmacy operation.
- Probation: Has been certified but currently under monitoring.
- Not certified: Either never applied or has been denied.
Why it matters
LegitScript certification is required for Google Ads. A telehealth operation running Google Ads without certification is non-compliant.
