Our Iowa-licensed providers cover every ZIP code in the state, including small towns where a local dermatologist is a long drive away. Async telehealth particularly helps Iowans outside the metro areas — finish the intake from the farm office, get treated through Hy-Vee pharmacy down the road. We e-prescribe to any licensed pharmacy in Iowa.
Step 3 — Clinical history: duration, family history, side-effect baselines, cardiovascular screening if oral minoxidil is involved

Step 5 — Your info, pharmacy, and payment: name, DOB, address, preferred Iowa pharmacy, $45 via Stripe
Iowa licensing & scope
All Bidwell Health providers treating Iowa patients hold active Iowa licensure — verifiable through the Iowa Board of Medicine online lookup. Scope of practice follows Iowa law. If your presentation falls outside safe asynchronous telehealth, we decline and refund automatically.
Off-label medications. Oral minoxidil and dutasteride are prescribed off-label for hair loss. Both are FDA-approved for other indications — minoxidil for hypertension, dutasteride for BPH — and have decades of safety data. Your Iowa provider counsels on side effects during review.
$45 flat per Iowa hair-loss visit — same price for every plan. Prescription written as a 6-month supply. Medication cost is separate and paid at your Iowa pharmacy (generic finasteride runs $15–$30/month, dutasteride $20–$40/month, oral minoxidil $10–$20/month with a GoodRx coupon). If we decline, you're refunded automatically.
