How long does it take to launch in Iowa?
Plan on about 30 days if Karpa builds your website: about 2 weeks for the site, then LegitScript approval, typically 14–21 days with Karpa (5 days at fastest). If you have your own website, also plan on about 30 days, since it needs a LegitScript compliance review and revisions first. With your own website and LegitScript certification, you can go live in about 7 days. Karpa handles provider credentialing, pharmacy integration, and platform setup.
