Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Several telehealth platforms make this process straightforward:
Reputable Services to Consider
- Hims & Hers - Offers semaglutide consultations with licensed providers, transparent pricing
- Ro (Roman) - Well-established telehealth with dedicated weight loss program
- Noom Med - Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- WeightWatchers (Sequence) - Integrates medication with their weight management program
- Found - Specializes in weight loss medicine with ongoing support
General Process
- Complete an online health questionnaire about your medical history
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Provider evaluates if you qualify (typically BMI 27+ with a condition, or BMI 30+)
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy or shipped directly
Things to Know Before Starting
- Costs vary widely - branded versions (Ozempic, Wegovy) may be $900+/month without insurance
- Compounded semaglutide is cheaper but has FDA safety concerns - ask providers about this
- Insurance coverage is inconsistent
- A provider may decline if you don't meet clinical criteria
Tip
Check if your existing insurance or employer offers GLP-1 coverage first, as it can significantly reduce costs.
