Doximity Launches Free Prescribing for Physicians

Allows physicians to prescribe on-the-go and for patients to choose a pharmacy.

May 15, 2026 · Amit Phull MD (Chief Clinical Experience Officer)


Prescribing is one of the most common things physicians do, and can be one of the most frustrating. Writing the prescription is the easy part. But everything that follows it takes time: coverage questions, pharmacy calls, transfer requests, and more. The burden falls on you, and ultimately, on your patients.

Today, we're introducing Doximity Prescribe: free, end-to-end prescribing built directly into the Doximity platform through a partnership with Photon.

The experience is intentionally simple, and functions more like a traditional paper script. The physician writes the prescription, and the patient receives a text message to choose their preferred pharmacy and view estimated pricing before pickup. No extra portals, logins, or handoffs.

It’s faster and easier for physicians, while giving patients more transparency and control over the process.

“We started a direct access clinic and it's difficult to know medication costs and stock availability, especially when working outside of insurance.
Putting the power in the patients' hands to choose their pharmacy or mail order is such a relief. Thank you, this will be game-changing!

- Dr. Shannon Carpenter, Orthopaedic Surgery

What This Means for You

We’ve embedded prescribing capabilities directly into the Doximity platform, starting with our telehealth tool, Dialer. That means you can write and send prescriptions without leaving Doximity or logging into another system.

Free for verified Doximity members

Like Ask, Scribe, and Dialer, prescribing on Doximity is completely free for verified U.S. physicians, NPs, and PAs. No subscription. No per-prescription fees.

It works where you are

On the go? Seeing patients via telehealth? Doximity Prescribe is fully mobile and accessible from any device.

Patients choose their own pharmacy

After the prescription is written, patients receive a text message prompting them to select the pharmacy that works best for them. They can also view estimated medication costs upfront, helping reduce surprises at pickup and making it easier to compare options before the prescription is sent.

The Next Layer of the Workflow

We believe physicians should spend less time navigating systems and more time focused on patient care. Prescribing is the next step in that effort. The visit happens, the note gets written, the clinical question gets answered, and now the prescription gets sent, all in one place.

Try it Today

Early access to Doximity Prescribe is now rolling out to verified U.S. physicians, NPs, and PAs on Doximity.*
