Qualiphy Launches a Nationwide Virtual Good Faith Exam Platform for Medical Spas
Qualiphy's platform automates the intake, compliance review, and provider assignment process, enabling real-time or asynchronous consultations depending on state regulations. Clinics can now remain fully compliant without added staffing or administrative burden.
At the center of these regulatory shifts is the Good Faith Exam, now a non-negotiable step in delivering compliant care across many states.
WHAT IS A GOOD FAITH EXAM?
A Good Faith Exam is a legally mandated medical evaluation, typically conducted by a physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA), before offering any prescription-based treatment or medical procedure.
Required to be performed these exams in states like Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Failure to do so can result in regulatory actions including license suspension and fines. Qualiphy ensures that every consultation, whether live or asynchronous, is compliant with both state law and the medical standard of care.
As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, clinics must go beyond the initial evaluation alone.
FROM GOOD FAITH EXAM TO PATIENT-SPECIFIC ORDERS
Recent legal updates indicate that generic clearances are no longer sufficient. Many states now require Patient-Specific Orders (PSOs) that include exact medications, dosages, and provider delegation instructions. Qualiphy enables this transition by integrating custom workflows that align with clinical, legal, and pharmacy standards.
Yet despite these clear requirements, many clinics unknowingly fall short.
COMMON COMPLIANCE GAPS IN CLINICS
Qualiphy's clinical leadership has identified several recurring issues among medspas and IV therapy clinics:
- Absence of documented GFEs prior to treatment
- Delegation of patient assessments to unlicensed staff
- Use of outdated or one-time clearances for returning patients
- Lack of consistent documentation protocols for patient care
These gaps increase regulatory risk and can result in disciplinary action. Qualiphy helps mitigate that risk by building state-specific logic into every interaction on the platform.
Telehealth offers a scalable solution that not only addresses these gaps but also strengthens clinic infrastructure.
TELEHEALTH: A COMPLIANT PATH FORWARD
Qualiphy enables both synchronous (live video) and asynchronous (form-based) GFEs. With built-in HIPAA compliance and configurable workflows based on local laws, Qualiphy delivers secure, legally valid virtual evaluations that meet or exceed medical board expectations. All documentation, including prescription approvals and treatment notes, is tracked and accessible through the Qualiphy provider portal or integrated directly into the clinic's EMR.
Still, for clinics operating across multiple states, staying aligned with individual regulations remains a complex challenge.
NAVIGATING MULTI-STATE REGULATIONS
State-by-state variations in medical law pose a challenge to clinics scaling across regions.
For example:
- Texas and Georgia require live evaluations and PSOs
- California permits asynchronous evaluations under strict criteria
Qualiphy addresses this complexity by embedding state-specific compliance logic directly into its telehealth workflow. As a result, each evaluation adheres to the correct protocol based on the patient's location and treatment category.
To further ease the burden on clinics, Qualiphy also eliminates the need for in-house provider management.
PROVIDER ACCESS, 7 DAYS A WEEK
Qualiphy's nationwide network of licensed providers is available 7 days a week from 6am to 7pm PST, including holidays. Clinics never need to manage physician staffing, licensing updates, or supervision logs. Qualiphy handles all provider matching, credentialing, and supervision as part of its end-to-end service.
PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
'Very professional, quick & to the point. From scheduling through completing my GFE - this service was simple & convenient.' - ASHLEY H.

Doctors Explain What They Really Think of Biohacking
There are plenty of health trends that pop up and fizzle out fast, but biohacking seems to have staying power. The practice of trying to 'hack' your health for longevity is showing up on podcasts, Netflix documentaries, and all over your For You feed, making it hard to miss. But for all the chatter about biohacking, it's easy to gloss over the actual definition of this practice. What is biohacking, and is it something you should be doing? It's important to state this upfront: Biohacking is a little controversial in the medical field. 'It's using your body as an experiment,' points out Mikhail Kogan, M.D., medical director of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine. While some doctors have a broad view of biohacking that includes things like eating a healthy, varied diet, others view biohacking as more focused on less-proven strategies, like loading up on certain supplements that don't have robust data to back them up. (More on that in a bit.) Meet the experts: Mikhail Kogan, M.D., medical director of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine; Bert Mandelbaum, M.D., sports medicine specialist and co-director of the Regenerative Orthobiologic Center at Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics in Los Angeles; Kanwar Kelley, M.D., physician and co-founder of Side Health in Orinda, CA; Salim Hayek, M.D., chair of internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Whatever your take on biohacking, it's important to at least know what's out there and what it all means. With that in mind, here's what doctors want you to know about biohacking, as well as how to decide if it's right for you. What is biohacking? Biohacking is a broad term used to describe the process of making tweaks to try to improve your health. It can involve sleep, workout routines, supplements, dietary changes, and more. 'Biohacking is essentially DIY biology—making intentional changes to your lifestyle, diet, or environment to optimize health and performance,' explains Salim Hayek, M.D., chair of internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch. 'It ranges from simple tweaks like tracking your sleep or trying intermittent fasting, to more extreme practices like implanting microchips.' Biohacking in the traditional sense means that it's experimental, says Dr. Kogan. 'It wouldn't be called 'biohacking' if it's scientifically proven—that would be standard of care,' he says. But some doctors look at biohacking as people simply trying to improve their health beyond what they may discuss in a routine exam with their physician. 'It's a marketing term that describes things that enhance health, healthspan, and playspan,' says Bert Mandelbaum, M.D., sports medicine specialist and co-director of the Regenerative Orthobiologic Center at Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics in Los Angeles. 'The essential aspect is that you are what you eat, think, drink, and do. Those are all very important.' The right ways to try biohacking—according to experts Dr. Mandelbaum prefers to look at biohacking as enhancing what you've got with the help of scientifically-proven methods. Kanwar Kelley, M.D., physician and co-founder of Side Health in Orinda, CA, also suggests this approach. 'Biohacking does not need to be overly complicated or require specialized equipment,' he says. 'Adjusting your approach to diet, supplementation, and sleep can help enhance performance and overall health, leading to increased productivity and longevity.' Even meditation and incorporating foods with beneficial properties can fall into this category, he says, among other things. On the supplement front, it's important to talk to your doctor before trying anything new—and your doctor may recommend a blood test to identify if you have any deficiencies. Dr. Hayek also recommends leaning into biohacking in the sense of adding new scientifically-proven healthy behaviors to your life vs. trying whatever crosses your social media feed. 'The real benefits come from evidence-based practices,' Dr. Hayek says, such as prioritizing sleep, exercising, and managing stress. 'The key is that most genuine benefits come from consistent, healthy lifestyle changes—not magic pills or high-tech gadgets,' he says. Some tech can be useful, though, especially in how it helps promote self-awareness: 'Use technology wisely—fitness trackers can keep you accountable, but don't become obsessed with the numbers,' Dr. Hayek says. His other tip? 'Try one change at a time so you can actually tell what's working.' Biohacking practices to avoid—according to experts There are several biohacking practices that doctors recommend taking a pass on, but Dr. Mandelbaum points out that the practice of taking several supplements without talking to a doctor first has been somewhat normalized, even though it's potentially risky. 'Those are the kinds of things you want to avoid: Things that are marketed with no scientific evidence.' Dr. Kelley also suggests being wary of techniques that are marketed as 'complete solutions' to health issues. 'While biohacking can help improve performance, no single method will solve all problems,' he says. 'Techniques should be plausible scientifically and have peer-reviewed scientific backing.' Dr. Hayek recommends avoiding biohacking treatments like "young blood" transfusions, DIY genetic engineering, and amateur implant surgeries. And of course, don't take prescription drugs that weren't prescribed to you, he says. 'Be wary of extreme diets promising miraculous results, or mega-dosing supplements,' he adds. 'If a practice could realistically land you in the hospital, think twice.' Risks of biohacking Because biohacking is such a broad category, there are plenty of potential risks involved in it, Dr. Kogan says. 'Almost anything you can think of is a risk,' he says. If used incorrectly, certain 'anti-aging' drugs may cause heart issues and even death, he points out. 'Many DIY biohacking experiments also lack regulation and safety oversight,' Dr. Hayek says. 'Misinformation is rampant online, and people might delay proven medical treatments for unproven hacks. Plus, it can become expensive and psychologically obsessive.' Does biohacking actually help you live longer and increase healthspan? 'We have no proven way to dramatically extend human lifespan through biohacking yet,' Dr. Hayek says, although who knows what the future may hold. For now: 'The best-documented longevity strategies are quite simple: Don't smoke, eat well, exercise, sleep enough, and manage stress,' he continues. 'Some biohacks that promote these behaviors can contribute to healthspan, living more years in good health. But the extreme anti-aging interventions making headlines? Most lack definitive proof and some are potentially dangerous.' Ultimately, if you want to try to enhance your healthspan and lifespan, doctors recommend sticking with the scientifically-proven basics.

After a Long Day of Travel, She Woke Up Unable to Walk. Then Crawled to Her Car and Drove to the ER (Exclusive)
Ella Katenkamp opens up to PEOPLE about the week she spent in the hospital, the unexpected condition that sidelined her, and what she wishes others understoodNEED TO KNOW Ella Katenkamp was days from finishing school when she woke up unable to walk At first, she assumed the pain in her calves was from working out after a long trip A week later, she left the hospital with a diagnosis that changed how she views her healthElla Katenkamp was days away from finishing school when she woke to a sharp, searing pain in her calves, her feet curled into a locked position and muscles frozen. What followed was a weeklong hospital stay, a terrifying diagnosis and a viral TikTok that sparked a conversation amongst millions. 'I took a trip the week before to Georgia, and it was a lot of, like, hiking,' Katenkamp tells PEOPLE, looking back on what seemed like a fun getaway before things spiraled. 'On the last day, we did a hike with thousands of stairs, and then I drove 13 hours straight back to Florida.' The former college athlete wasted no time jumping back into her routine. 'As soon as I got back, I did a leg workout at the gym,' she says, noting that cramps didn't seem like a big deal at first. 'I got, like, really bad calf pain after that,' she explains. 'My feet locked into a pointed toe position, and I couldn't walk flat-footed. My calves were stuck like that.' Assuming it was a standard athletic cramp, Katenkamp drank water, stretched, and went to bed. But by 5 a.m., the pain was excruciating, and her legs refused to move. 'I lived with a roommate at the time, but it was, like, five in the morning and I didn't want to wake her up,' she says. 'So I crawled to my car and drove myself to the hospital.' At the ER, her condition worsened. 'As soon as I got in there, they ran over and put me in a wheelchair, and that was it for about a week,' she recalls. Throughout her hospital stay, walking was nearly impossible. 'If I walked at all, someone had to hold me up because I couldn't move my calves,' she says. 'They just stopped working.' Doctors struggled to identify the cause of her symptoms. 'It took them about three or four days to figure it out,' Katenkamp notes. 'The nurses would come in and just be Googling my symptoms — no one knew what it was.' Eventually, she received a diagnosis: rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition that causes muscle fibers to break down and release toxins into the blood. 'It's like the breakdown of your muscle to the point that it poisons your blood,' she explains. Katenkamp was shocked to learn her creatine kinase (CK) level, a marker of muscle breakdown, was well above normal. 'Your CK level's not really supposed to be above 200, and when I got to the hospital, it was in the thousands,' she says. Treatment involved flushing her system with fluids and monitoring her blood multiple times a day. 'They had to take my blood like three times a day,' she says. 'After two days, my CK level actually went up, which was really frustrating.' By the time she was discharged, her CK level was still around 600–700. 'I wasn't where I was supposed to be, but I was starting to walk again,' she says. 'It was just my legs.' Doctors attributed the onset to a combination of factors. 'They told me it was probably from the Red Bulls I drank in Georgia, not enough water, my birth control and going from sitting for 13 hours straight into an intense leg workout,' Katenkamp says. The experience permanently changed her approach to fitness and health. 'I took a huge step back from energy drinks,' she shares. 'I didn't touch them for a long time, and now I only drink them very moderately.' Once hyperactive with early-morning practices, classes and games, Katenkamp is now far more mindful. 'I drink so much more water now,' she says. 'And I definitely think about what days to go hard in the gym — like, was I sitting a lot the day before?' The condition was new to her and to many. 'I had no idea what it was,' Katenkamp says. 'Even the doctors didn't know.' She posted about the ordeal on TikTok, with the text overlay, 'She doesn't know it yet... but the next morning she was gonna crawl out of bed on all 4s and drive herself to the hospital at 6am to stay for the next week because her legs were paralyzed with rhabdomyolysis.' While some followers offered support, others jumped to conclusions. But for Katenkamp, it was a moment that turned criticism into community. 'I didn't even really have to defend myself,' she says. 'Other people did it for me.' Many shared their own experiences or those of loved ones. 'A lot of people said they'd been through something similar and knew how painful it was,' she says. 'There were tons of comments wishing me a good recovery.' Looking back, she says the condition was more than just muscle cramps. 'My legs weren't even the same size when I left the hospital,' she says. 'It's definitely a process, but luckily, I'm past it now.' Still, the risk of lasting damage was real. 'They say it can ruin your kidneys,' Katenkamp says. 'Luckily, I didn't get to that point, but if I hadn't gone to the hospital, it could have destroyed my organs.' That's why her message is firm. 'It's more than just cramps,' she says. 'People kept saying, 'Push through it,' but I couldn't have done that — I had to go to the hospital.' Two years later, Katenkamp's advice to others in recovery is simple and compassionate. 'Make sure you're taking care of yourself and read your body,' she says. 'Keep up with your water, stretch and don't overdo it.' She encourages anyone experiencing similar symptoms to investigate all possibilities. 'Follow the steps your doctors give you,' Katenkamp adds. 'It can definitely come back.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. If she could tell social media users one thing, it's this: don't pretend to be an expert. 'You never know what's going on,' she says. 'There were over 20 different comments guessing the cause. It's different for every person.' Katenkamp says she understands the appeal of quick judgments, especially online. But she hopes her story shows why empathy matters. 'Don't speak on other people's health,' she says. 'If there's one thing I learned, it's that you really don't know what someone's going through.'

The best running shoes for overpronators, based on months of testing by a competitive runner
It can feel like you need a degree in podiatry when shopping for the right running shoes. If you overpronate — meaning, your foot rolls inward excessively when you run or walk — it's especially important to choose the right footwear. The best running shoes for overpronators can help lower your risk of injury, allowing you to stay focused on racking up the miles. Unfortunately, leaving overpronation unchecked can lead to a range of issues, including shin splints, plantar fasciitis and knee pain, Suzanne C. Fuchs, DPM, a podiatrist at Luxe Podiatry in Jupiter, Fla., tells Yahoo Life. After years of struggling with all of those conditions as a competitive long-distance runner, I discovered I'm an overpronator. Apparently, I'm not alone. While specific numbers vary from source to source, it's estimated that roughly 50% of runners overpronate to some degree, and this tendency increases with longer-duration running. This makes sense — the longer a person runs, the more fatigued their muscles are likely to become. This includes the small muscles of the feet and ankles that help support proper foot strike and form while running. However, it's important to note that pronation itself — a mild inward or outward rolling of the foot as you walk or run — is normal and isn't clearly associated with injuries. Where problems may arise is if the overpronation becomes excessive (which is a poorly defined term in the running community — it's not clear exactly what level of pronation qualifies as "excessive" and this likely varies from person to person), whether as a natural part of a runner's gait or due to the increased overpronation that tends to occur with longer runs. Luckily, whether you have mild or more pronounced overpronation, the right stability running shoes can help support your running hobby. "shoes can offer both stability and support to minimize overpronation," Melissa Lockwood, DPM, a podiatrist at Heartland Foot and Ankle Associates in Bloomington, Ill., tells Yahoo Life. With the proper footwear, overpronators can ultimately reduce their risk of injury, Richard H. Graves, DPM, a podiatrist at Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Long Beach, Calif., tells Yahoo Life. It's important to note, though, that this running-related injury reduction appears to be associated only with injuries that come directly as a result of overpronation — one small study points specifically to Achilles tendinopathy (inflammation and pain at the Achilles tendon, around the heel and lower calf), plantar fasciopathy (heel pain due to strain and inflammation of the plantar fascia — a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot), exercise-related lower-leg pain, and anterior (front) knee pain, not other running-related injuries. The right footwear for overpronators supports the foot's arch to reduce excessive inward rolling and has stability features like firmer materials on the inside of the shoe to help guide the foot into a more neutral position, Fuchs explains. "Adequate cushioning also helps absorb impact forces, reducing strain on the lower body," she says. I was shocked at how much better my joints and feet felt when I started using sneakers that helped correct my foot's inward rolling, and I've been passionate about sharing that information with fellow runners ever since. While I've been a ride-or-die with the same pair of stability running shoes for years, a large selection of supportive options for overpronators has come out since then — and I was excited to test the latest models to see how new technology may affect my running experience. To help track down the best running shoes for overpronators, our team spoke with three podiatrists about the crucial factors to look for in these sneakers. We then researched the most popular stability shoes on the market, stacking their features up against those recommended by our team of podiatrists. Once we narrowed the field, I tested 12 different pairs of shoes designed for overpronators like me. Each was used for at least 50 miles on runs across a mix of roads and trails to get a good sense of how the shoes performed in real-world conditions over time. These are our favorites, based on expert input and testing. Table of contents Best overall running shoes for overpronators More running shoes we like for overpronators in 2025 Factors to consider when purchasing running shoes for overpronation How we chose Other stability shoes we tested FAQs Meet our experts Best overall running shoes for overpronators More running shoes we like for overpronators in 2025 Factors to consider when purchasing running shoes for overpronation There's a lot to keep in mind when choosing a shoe for overpronation. These are the big elements podiatrists flagged. Degree of overpronation: Not all overpronation is created equal. Overpronators can generally be divided into mild, moderate and severe categories. If you're not sure where you stand, it can be helpful to have a gait analysis done at a podiatrist's office or shoe store. Once you know what you're dealing with, you can make better-informed decisions about the type of shoe you need. Arch type: Arches are typically divided into low, neutral and high categories. The best way to tell your arch type is to do a "wet foot" test, where you step on pavement or a piece of paper with a wet foot, Graves says. If you have a neutral arch, you'll see some elevation in the middle of your foot (where the water doesn't convey onto the pavement or paper because there's a gap where your arch doesn't touch the ground). If you have a high arch, the footprint will look more like a comma, or possibly even a colon — you'll see a large gap where your arch doesn't touch the ground with a more narrow external mark. With a flat foot, you'll have more of a solid wet spot because your arch is low and makes contact with the pavement or paper. While you may need a special insole based on your arch type, "proper shoes provide the necessary support to maintain the foot's arch, reducing excessive inward rolling [for overpronators]," Fuchs says. Running terrain: Some shoes are designed to go across a range of surfaces, but others aren't. Keep your go-to running terrain in mind, whether it's the road, trails or treadmill, and pay close attention to the shoe's outsole. Road and treadmill shoes need less of a lug — the texture on the bottom of your shoe — while trail shoes require more to offer improved traction on a range of surfaces. Distance and frequency of runs: Many shoes work across a range of distances and run frequencies, but that's not always the case. If you're a distance runner, you'll likely prefer a stability shoe that's on the lighter side. If fast workouts are more your speed, something with more bounce (also known as responsiveness) is likely to be a good choice. Personal comfort and fit preferences: While there are a lot of fancy features you can get in a shoe, doctors stress the importance of a good fit and overall comfort. "When a shoe fits exactly as it should — in other words, conforms very nicely to the shape of your foot — then it will not only feel more comfortable, but provide the best support for you because your foot will not be moving around as much inside the shoe," Graves says. Budget: Stability shoes tend to be a little more expensive than your standard shoe. Most will cost $100 or more, but it's possible to find some flexibility in the price without sacrificing on shoe quality. How we chose To choose the best running shoes for overpronation, we first consulted with three podiatrists. Each provided advice on what to look for in stability shoes and why each feature matters. From there, we looked at the most popular and buzzy stability shoes on the market, narrowing the field based on the crucial elements laid out by our experts. I'm a former Division I cross-country and track athlete who still runs competitively. I'm also a product tester who consistently tests the latest footwear, giving me insight into what does and doesn't work during training. And, like many people, I'm an overpronator. I tested 12 different stability shoes, using each for at least 50 miles over a range of terrain. Based on all of those factors, we chose the top results. Other stability shoes we tested There were some shoes we tested that didn't make the final cut for a variety of reasons. Saucony Guide 18. This shoe is my current everyday shoe. It provides a nice, guided feel without an overwhelming level of correction. However, it may not deliver enough stability for people with higher levels of overpronation. Nike Pegasus Plus. Nike's Pegasus Plus offers a snug but breathable feel, thanks to the FlyKnit upper. It's also very lightweight, but the toe box is narrow. While that makes this a good choice for people with narrow feet, others may be uncomfortable in this shoe. Brooks Glycerin GTS 22. The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is comfortable, like the brand's Adrenaline GTS 24, which was our top overall pick. It has a sockliner around the ankle, although it doesn't actually touch the ankle to create a snug fit. The toe box is nice and roomy, and the shoe is highly breathable. Ultimately, the Adrenaline GTS 24 was just a little more comfortable and seemed like a better fit for overpronation than this model. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41. This shoe is a great everyday trainer, with an airy upper that makes it especially comfortable on hot days. The shoe's heel has a locked-in feel, and there's nice cushioning around the ankle. The shoe runs small, though — you'll want to size up. Nike Vomero 18. A highly cushioned shoe with a little bounce, Nike's Vomero 18 feels good underfoot. But the shoe fits especially snug around the ankle, and I developed irritation around the outer ankle that I didn't have with other shoes. That aside, the shoe is very comfortable and even fun to run in, thanks to that bounce. FAQs What is overpronation, and how does it affect running? Overpronation is something that can happen when you walk or run. "Overpronation occurs when a person's foot turns to the midline while walking," Lockwood says. "When it's extreme, this means it can look like you're walking on the inside of your ankle." Overpronation can throw off your gait, raising the risk of a range of injuries, including tendonitis and ankle, knee and foot pain, according to Graves. How can I tell if I overpronate? There are a few signs, says Graves. "When you're standing in a relaxed position, do your feet appear to be rolling inward? The back of your heels should be perpendicular to the ground. Are they tilted inward?" he asks. "Look at a pair of shoes that you've been wearing for a while — is the heel of the shoe tilted inward? Does the medial/inside of the shoe in the arch area appear to be bulging? Any of these can indicate overpronation." What's the difference between stability and motion control shoes? Stability shoes are designed for mild to moderate overpronators, Fuchs says. "Stability shoes provide a balance of cushioning and support, allowing for some natural motion while helping to correct alignment." Motion control shoes are designed for severe overpronators. "They are built with firmer materials and greater support to limit excessive foot movement and support proper alignment," Fuchs says. Can stability shoes help prevent running injuries? Yes, stability shoes can help prevent running injuries in people who overpronate, Graves says. "By reducing or slowing down the amount of overpronation, there will be less stress on the foot structures that tend to be most affected by overpronation." How often should I replace my running shoes? Everyone is different, but podiatrists generally recommend replacing your shoes between 300 and 500 miles. That's admittedly a wide range, which is why looking for additional signs like your midsole being compressed or you've worn down the outsole to the point that you can see the white part. Another clear indication is if you're developing new aches and pains, Graves says. Meet our experts Suzanne C. Fuchs, DPM, a podiatrist at Luxe Podiatry in Jupiter, Fla.
