This company is very thorough with their professional certification. They carefully go through your answers to their 37 Questions, check your uploaded documents, examine your websites and domain-claims, and ask you questions in the areas of their concerns. This company is very trustworthy maintaining the integrity of online medical and paramedical professional services. They represent and protect the safety of the patients who use online services for their healthcare. We need to have a standard that s trusted for the health and hope of the people. That is what LegitScript represents. I applied for their Certification; they did not ask me to apply. I needed their Certification; it was not the other way round. It was rigorous. It took six weeks. I believe others can pull through if they patiently regard their professional status. I encourage us to have the discipline to allow an independent honest Body examine us and call the result. It is Not easy; It is Not cheap; If you persevere you will pull through. You cannot quantify the amount of work done remotely by LegitScript evaluating your company before they put their Stamp for you. I do Not believe they are interested in Money. Rather, I am convinced they are maintaining a very good standard for the safety of Lives in our Noble professions.
They are just another business disguise doing something good. You go to medical school,pass boards, get state registered, and then to advertise your services your pay 1000 of dollars upfront then another 1000 every year. There is nothing that legit scripts does that a regular company could not do on their own. It just businesss that built around solving problem that needs no fixing. Unless it boggles the mind that Facebook google Bing couldn't figure out how to check a medical providers credentials when it's not even that hard Also, those companies online that provide the same service as the scripts and doesn't charge as much

I am helping a non-profit drug treatment center get ads going. They are trying to extort $6,000 up front for their 4 locations and $12,000/year ongoing just to say they are "legit". They have been around for decades. This is such a rip off!
Legit scripts is another example of a company taking on more services than they can offer. They're easy with collecting the few thousands of dollars to open up their account as required ridiculously by Google but to return calls or emails they are very poor at. I urge you to avoid them at all costs even though they're the only game in town. They don't even get a star for not answering or responding after 3 weeks. Dr J.
Tip for consumers:
Google needs to find an additional company or in a different company legit scripts has too many accounts they can't possibly manage.
Products used:
No answer for over 3 weeks poor service no return emails either check out legit scripts website they're constantly hiring.
Facebook and Google have basically anointed Legitscript monopoly powers over who can and cannot advertise legitimate drug treatment and rehab services.
Their fees are excessive and approval process is capricious and non-transparent.
In prior times when regulatory oversight was fairly applied by the federal government, legitscript would likely be charged with racketeering.
I am delighted that I took the time to read the reviews before committing to a Google Ads account that mandated Legit Script. In all honesty, the claims of legitimacy are far from true. It appears to be a complete rip-off, operating like an extortion scheme where you have to pay to even participate, without any acknowledgment of valid lab certifications.
Unfortunately, my experience with them led me to believe that they are nothing but scammers.

Addiction Services Certificate
I had a medical restriction put on my Adwords account for a surgical medical practice originally for a mention of a drug, I removed the drug article which was for information purposes only. I tried to tell Google review team we do not sell drugs and therefore do not qualify as an "online pharmacy" the supervisor then came on the call and said if we use anethesia we need to get a certificate through LegitScript. He didn't tell me it would cost $1500 to start and $995 a year there after for this bogus certification that Google is requiring. Total rip off.
This company was founded by John Horton, who was a White House aide on drug policy issues from 2002 to 2007. He obviously now is trying to strike it rich with this bs company. I got a reply from them with mistakes so egregious I immediately asked for my money back. I will be lodging a formal complaint with the proper federal government.
Tip for consumers:
do not use!

legit script cert
As a professional in the digital marketing field, it's companies like this that make survival for good businesses difficult. They stand as a vetting process to keep illegitimate businesses from advertising on the web. Charge large sums of money to vet for Google. Take six months to perform the process. Most of the worst companies got vetted before the legitimate organizations. Poor communication. After total compliance, they still don't provide the vetting promised.
I am glad I looked into the reviews before signing up for a Google Ads that required Legit Script. There is nothing legit about it. Total rip off extortion pay to play that doesn't recognize lab certifications.
This is completely ridiculous. In order for me to purchase ads on Google, they wanted me to submit to certification through this third party I've never even heard of. I'm already fully licensed and board certified through my state regulatory boards, why would I also need to pay and have the approval of these grifters? I refuse, my business will NOT be extorted.
This is currently the only certification approved to run ads on Facebook, Google, etc. The prices are astronomical, and it seems ridiculous when you take into account the approvals and certifications clinics and physicians go through. You essentially pay a huge price for this certification just to pay more to run ads! If this was a government-backed or approved verification system it may be reasonable. But this is a private company that has found a way to profit big from the health care business. There's nothing extra that even qualifies them to take on the role of certifier.
Legitscript is a self-appointed, opaque, unelected, unaccountable, for profit regulatory body offering or withholding their "certification" to licensed, insured, experienced, proven, ethical, board certified physicians and surgeons for telemedicine. Legitscript has insufficient expertise, little if any physicians in management, communicates with arrogance and condescension, is incompetent (poor legal knowledge), and DANGEROUS by blocking the expansion of high quality contemporary professional services to the online marketplace. Meanwhile, fraudulent businesses proliferate and populate every corner of the web without restraint. Legitscript is an antonym, suggestive of an opposite function from reality.
Please stay away from the services of orangewebsite.com, they will lure you into the traps of legitscript.com and legitscript will illegally seize or hijack your domain name especially when you have an e-commerce website.
Legit Script is a fraud. It is a Google business that is used to prey off of the medical commmunity. They will take your deposit and not refund after they try and scheme you for more. Terrible bsuiness
Criminals. They are a cartel of greedy criminals. But you have nothing to do about it. Because this is the stupid world were living in right now.
Just pay them and they will shut the **** up.
They go my advertisement dissaproved with google. I am board certified in addiciton medicine. If google doesnt want my money they can forget about it. I have local billboards and will keep Lamar happy. Spend locally then giving it to these crooks. Scam artisit number one. Wont be giving my hard earned $******* for free.
LegitScript supposedly reviews online pharmacies to help the consumer not get ripped off. I was shocked to see them claiming perfectly decent businesses offering good quality drugs were "rogue," like KiwiDrug i nNew Zealand, InHouse Pharmacy in the UK, and many in the Canada. You can't trust LegitScript's review of any pharmacy. They have their own agenda.
This company is the reason why drug addicts are getting LESS help than more. And i just read this online... "Legitscript are under criminal..."
Currently criminal defamation proceedings are going on against LEGITSCRIPT LLC, John Horton (President and CEO Legitscript)
They do nothing except take your money. Cannot talk to a person on the phone. You send your information and make payment and never hear anything from them again. Total scam and ripoff.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away and don’t ware your money

I was attempting to get my supplement products certified in order to advertise on FB & Instagram. I was instructed by LegitScript to get a Global Product Review in order to get my supplement company certified. After paying $370 and after several weeks I was instructed that the Global Product Review is not a certification. FB is requiring a link to a certification which I never received from LegitScript. After speaking with Allison Wiltse she attempted to justify why she told me to get a Global Product Review knowing that it did not provide the certification necessary to run the FB ads. I am baffled why FB would recommend LegitScript knowing that they are a complete SCAM!
I love these reviews cuz whenever I need something it's always there I have never seen a place where they actually send you gift cards and money
So Google will not allow medical providers to advertise through their AdWords account unless the medical provider (in my case, who is already in compliance with state & federal law, and who operates with a verifiable NPI #) pays this company which I have never heard of before $1500 for "Certification" to run ads online as a medical provider.
At first, they began flagging my account for no reason: "Speculative and experimental medical treatment," were applied to tried and true procedures which are routine in our office. Not "Certified" to advertise in Sweden, Argentina, etc. when all I wanted was to advertise within a 50 mile radius of my office.
Then, when I called and requested that my ads be reviewed, I was informed that the only way to ensure that this doesn't happen again was to purchase LegitScript certification. This is basically a bribe so that your account doesn't get flagged by the major advertisers.
If it isn't a bribe, consider this: why wouldn't Google or Facebook just request legitimate medical providers to provide their state-issued NPI # or their medical license #? This would mean that the company is already in compliance with the government.
Instead, these tech companies made this LegitScript company up as a scam to defraud American medical providers.
As someone who runs my AdWords account for less than a few thousand a year, this additional $1500 start-up fee, plus a $1000 annual fee is prohibitively expensive.
I'll just allocate my online marketing budget for some billboards next year instead...
P.S. I should mention that I did try calling Legit Script to investigate our options with them. There was no answer during normal business hours, and no way to leave a voicemail. So, if that is not a "front" for a scam, then I don't know what is.
