Transatlantic Medical Associates · Annandale, VA
Your prescription from abroad, accepted at U.S. pharmacies.
For immigrants, tourists, international students, and their families continuing their care in the U.S. without starting over.
Built to remove a barrier.
Immigrants, tourists, international students, and families supporting a loved one in the U.S. all share a common challenge: their medical history from abroad is not recognized by U.S. pharmacies or providers. Continuing a medication they already rely on requires going through an entirely new evaluation process, repeating labs, consultations, and paperwork that have already been completed elsewhere. TamaCares, an extension of Transatlantic Medical Associates (TAMA) LLC established in June 2023, was built to remove that barrier.
The mission
To ensure that anyone in the United States with a medical history from abroad can access the care and medications they depend on, without having to rebuild their records in a new system. At TamaCares, we believe no one should face unnecessary barriers to ongoing healthcare simply because their health history began somewhere else.
The process
We work from a scan of the original prescription and basic patient information. A licensed U.S. physician reviews the documentation and provides what any U.S. pharmacy needs to proceed. The entire process is handled online, with no new in-person appointments or repeated medical evaluations. Patients do not need to submit themselves. A caregiver, family member, or any trusted contact can complete the process on their behalf, making it accessible even when the patient cannot navigate it directly.

A doctor reviews every submission.
Every submission that leaves TamaCares has been personally reviewed by a licensed physician. Not a system, not a specialist in paperwork. A doctor.
Reviewed by a licensed physician
A U.S.-licensed physician examines your original prescription, verifies clinical accuracy against American standards, and prepares a U.S.-compatible version.
Nothing changed. Nothing invented.
Your prescription is preserved exactly as your doctor abroad wrote it: dosage, medication, and intent intact. We prepare it for U.S. pharmacies, not reinterpret it.
Prepared to U.S. pharmacy standards
The reviewed documentation gives U.S. pharmacists what they need to proceed. No new appointments, no repeated evaluations. Just your prescription, ready.
Online and in-person
Four ways we help.
