provider licensing
who is licensed to
write your prescription.
the dedicated disclosure on who is actually licensed to prescribe for norm patients — the state-by-state licensure model, the supervision framework, and the diligence bar every prescribing clinician clears.
this page is the who-prescribes. for the who-dispenses, see our pharmacy. for the structural about-us framing across all three entities, see medical team.
medical director
a named MD signs the protocol.
medical oversight
Every case is reviewed by a licensed clinician under medical-director oversight. Medical director information will be published once our supervising physician's services agreement is finalized.
The medical director sets the clinical protocol every prescribing clinician works under, holds escalation authority for borderline cases, and signs standing orders for the prescribing professional corporation. The bio block below is the structured field-by-field record on the medical director — the same source of truth surfaced on medical team.

Clinical-protocol authorship, escalation authority for borderline cases, MedWatch reporting, and signing standing orders for the prescribing professional corporation.

how clinicians work under the medical director
role, not person.
The medical director's scope is defined in writing, by role, independent of any one clinician's name. It is the same scope-of-duties surfaced on medical team:
- writes the clinical protocol used by all prescribing clinicians
- holds escalation authority for cases NPs flag as borderline
- signs standing orders for the prescribing professional corporation
- files MedWatch reports for any reportable adverse event
- reviews and signs off on protocol changes before they ship
Nurse practitioners working with Norm patients prescribe under California's AB 890 framework, the statute that governs nurse-practitioner scope of practice and physician supervision in California. Inside that framework, the medical director functions as the supervising physician for clinical questions outside the standing-order scope and for any case the nurse practitioner flags for escalation.
The supervision relationship is in writing — defined by the medical director's standing orders and the services agreement between the prescribing professional corporation and the clinical partner. It is not a marketing claim. It is the legal scaffolding the prescribing relationship sits inside.

pending partner contractNorm Health LLC partners with [clinical-infrastructure provider — name pending] to source licensed nurse practitioners. Each prescribing clinician holds a current state license.
coverage
California only at launch. Additional states will be listed here as state-by-state licensing completes.
routing
Initial intakes route to a nurse practitioner first. Borderline cases or any case the NP flags escalate to the medical director for review.
Partner name and the list of contracted states will appear here once the contract is countersigned.
state-by-state licensure
a license in your state, every time.
today
Norm currently operates in California only. Every prescribing clinician working with Norm patients holds an active California license, verifiable through the California Board of Registered Nursing or the Medical Board of California.
license
Active in the state of patient practice. Never a license borrowed from another jurisdiction, never a license held by someone other than the clinician writing the prescription.
expansion
When Norm expands to a new state, the prescribing clinician working with patients in that state must hold an active license in that state before any prescription is written. New states will be listed here as state-by-state licensing completes.
We do not transmit a prescription unless the prescribing clinician is actively licensed in your state.
provider diligence
the bar every prescribing clinician clears.
A patient asking “who is actually licensed to prescribe for me?” deserves to see the requirements every prescribing clinician working under the clinical partner has to meet. The list below is Norm's bar — confirmed before a clinician sees a single Norm patient.

norm's diligence baractive state license in the state of patient practice
Verified before the clinician sees a single Norm patient. Re-verified on every license-renewal cycle.
malpractice E&O coverage in force
Errors-and-omissions coverage current and on file with the clinical partner.
acknowledgment of medical-director standing orders
Every prescribing clinician acknowledges the medical director's standing orders in writing before their first prescription.
trained on Norm's clinical protocol
Intake screening, dose validation, contraindication routing, and the check-in classifier — trained before going live with patients.
HIPAA Business Associate Agreement coverage
Executed by the clinical partner; covers every clinician working with Norm patients before any PHI changes hands.
compliance with the algorithmic-decisions disclosure in patient consent
Each clinician operates inside the disclosed algorithmic boundaries and honors the patient's right to request human review.
Every prescribing clinician working with Norm patients meets all of the above. The clinical partner enforces this bar; Norm verifies it before any prescription is transmitted.
algorithmic decisions
what the platform decides, and what a clinician decides.
auto-dose
Dose escalation along the protocol-defined titration ladder can advance automatically when the patient's weekly check-ins show they're not yet at goal and the classifier clears no flagged signal. The patient is notified and must acknowledge the new dose on the dashboard before logging their next injection. Escalations outside the ladder, or any flagged check-in, route to clinician review.
reorder
Routine reorders at the patient's existing dose can auto-approve when the check-in classifier is clear and the clinician's prior approval is still in force. Anything outside that narrow window — new symptoms, dose change, lapsed approval — routes to a clinician.
Summary view. Full algorithmic-decisions disclosure lives in telehealth consent §8.
your right
You may request human clinician review of any automated decision — auto-dose-escalation, routine-reorder auto-approval, or any other algorithmic step — at any time, with no fee and no impact on your treatment. Disclosed and preserved in telehealth consent §8.
three-entity model
this page covers the middle entity.
three-entity model
management services org
the platform — Norm Health LLC. Builds the software, never makes clinical decisions.
prescribing professional corp
the clinicians. Licensed in your state, prescribe under medical-director protocol.
licensed compounding pharmacy
prepares and dispenses the medication. State-licensed; not affiliated with the platform.
This page focuses on the prescribing professional corporation — the middle entity, the one a prescription is written from. our pharmacy focuses on the dispensing pharmacy — the third entity, the one a prescription is filled by. medical team carries the structural about-us framing for all three. Same three-entity model, three different angles.
about the medication
Compounded medications, when prescribed, are prepared by licensed pharmacies and are not FDA-approved. They may be prescribed only when clinically appropriate.
