Patient Direct FAQ
Patient Direct FAQ’s for Patients V. 2/22/2017
1. Who can participate in the program?
Anyone who is a current patient of a health care professional that offers Standard Process products may apply. Just ask your health care professional for the office’s unique Patient Direct code. You will need it for your application.
2. Why do I have to be approved as a current patient by my healthcare professional?
This program was designed to offer patients the convenience of 24/7 ordering while still maintaining the health care professional-patient relationship. Only your health care professional knows your personal nutritional needs. As a current patient you get recommendations from an expert who will make sure you are getting the right supplements. Your health care professional will explain situations in which a supplement should not be used and help you avoid the dangers of guessing or self- diagnosis.
3. How do I apply for a Patient Direct account?

4. Does Patient Direct collect sales tax?
We are required to follow the laws in each state and collect tax from you, the patient, if applicable. Sales tax is based on your health care professional’s address and is collected on both the product and shipping charges. Orders shipped across state lines are subject to the sales-tax percentages based on your practitioner’s location.
5. Are there shipping charges?
Yes, patients pay for shipping. There is no free shipping based on order size. All Patient Direct orders are charged a flat rate of $10 for standard shipping – no matter what size, weight, or distance. If you’d like your delivery sooner, we offer expedited shipping for an additional charge. The rate will be applied automatically to orders upon checkout—no code required.
