Who does what, and how you can check.
Velri is a non-clinical technology and coordination company. Everything clinical, everything pharmaceutical, and every lab result comes from an independent, licensed party you can look up yourself. This page names the standard each one meets and the public registry where you can verify it.
Coordinates
Membership, routing, refill and follow-up coordination, one bill. Velri is a non-clinical technology and coordination company. It does not practice medicine or pharmacy.
Prescribe
Physician-led groups licensed in the state where you live make every clinical decision. A prescription is required and is never guaranteed.
Dispense
Independent, licensed U.S. pharmacies fill what a provider orders, if anything, and ship it to you.
Draw and result
Certified laboratories draw your blood at their own sites and report the results. A panel is not a diagnosis.
Independent, physician-led Provider Groups.
Independent, physician-led Provider Groups licensed in the state where you live make every clinical decision. Velri is a non-clinical technology and coordination company. Every prescribing clinician holds a license in the state where you are located at the time of your visit, and the clinician's name is on your visit record.

What every dispensing pharmacy must have.
- Licensed where your order ships
- A pharmacy license in its home state and, when it ships across state lines, a non-resident pharmacy permit in the state your order is delivered to.
- Compounding under federal law
- Compounded medications are prepared either by a licensed pharmacy for one patient on a prescription under section 503A, or by an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility. Compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality and are not interchangeable with an FDA-approved brand-name drug.
- USP standards
- Non-sterile preparations to USP chapter 795, sterile preparations to USP chapter 797, and hazardous drugs handled to USP chapter 800, where each applies.
- Accreditation is the pharmacy's own claim
- Where a pharmacy holds an accreditation, that is the pharmacy's statement about itself, and it can be checked on the accreditor's public directory. Velri does not restate it.
- Named on your order
- The dispensing pharmacy is named on your order and on the label. You may opt out of using a given pharmacy at any time from your account.
How to check a pharmacy

Independent, CLIA-certified laboratories.
Lab panels are drawn by the laboratory at its own draw sites and resulted by a laboratory certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, the federal certificate every U.S. laboratory must hold to report results for patient care. The laboratory's name appears on your requisition and on your results.
A panel is not a diagnosis and is not medical advice. Interpretation, and any decision about care, comes from an independent provider in a consultation, booked and paid separately. Labs are a membership feature a provider may order. They are not a gate.
How to check a laboratory
- CMS CLIA laboratory lookupEvery U.S. laboratory reporting results for patient care holds a CLIA certificate. Search by laboratory name or certificate number.
