DandyRX Provider Independence and Professional Standards Policy

At DandyRX, patient safety, clinical quality, and ethical healthcare practices are fundamental to the services offered through our platform.
Healthcare services made available through DandyRX are provided by independent licensed healthcare professionals. This policy explains the professional standards patients can expect from participating providers.

1. Independent Medical Judgment
   Healthcare providers using the DandyRX platform exercise independent professional medical judgment at all times.
   Clinical decisions, diagnoses, treatment recommendations, prescriptions, medication renewals, and follow-up care are determined solely by the licensed healthcare provider based upon:
   • The patient’s medical history;
   • Clinical presentation;
   • Applicable standards of care;
   • Professional judgment;
   • State and federal law.
   DandyRX does not direct, influence, control, or determine clinical decisions.

   • Maintain active professional licenses in jurisdictions where they provide services;
   • Comply with applicable licensing requirements;

   • Promote informed decision-making;
   • Encourage honest and open communication;
