LegitScript Certification

If an ad names a prescription drug, or your site prescribes or ships one, yes on both Meta and Google. If you advertise a clinic program and keep the drug names on the page rather than in the ad, you can run without it. We tell you which applies on the first call.

LegitScript's healthcare certification fees, as published on legitscript.com at the time of writing: a $975 nonrefundable application fee per website, a $2,150 annual certification fee per website once approved, and an optional $2,500 expedited review that starts within two business days. Probationary certification, where LegitScript applies it, carries a $3,995 annual fee. Those are paid to LegitScript. Our fee for the readiness review and filing is quoted on the call.

LegitScript does not publish a standard review time; only the expedited option has a stated start of two business days. Our part, the readiness review and filing, is done by day 21. Plan for the review to take longer than you want, and run the channels that are open while it completes.

Licensure gaps in a state you prescribe into, a prescriber or pharmacy partner with undisclosed discipline, claims on the site that promise outcomes, a privacy policy that does not match what the site does, and affiliates or marketing partners who are not compliant. The readiness review exists to find these before LegitScript does.

No. LegitScript decides. What we control is whether the application goes in complete, with the fixes made and the disclosures right, and whether the questions during review get answered quickly and correctly. That is the difference between one round and three.

LegitScript certifies you. Meta and Google then each require you to apply inside their own systems, in the pharmacy or telehealth category, and attach the certification. Accounts stall here because nobody knows the step exists. We complete it and confirm the drug-name ads are approved.
