I want to move my Ozempic care from my doctor to a telehealth service. Which one?

Short answer: pick a telehealth service that (a) is licensed in your state, (b) offers chronic diabetes/weight-care (not just one-off consults), (c) handles baseline labs and follow-up, and (d) works with your insurance or offers clear pricing. Good options to consider:

• PlushCare — primary-care focused telemedicine that treats chronic conditions (including type 2 diabetes) and routinely prescribes GLP‑1s like semaglutide when appropriate. Pros: ongoing care model with regular follow-up visits and lab ordering; generally insurance-friendly.

• Ro (Roman) — offers dedicated weight‑loss/GLP‑1 programs and telehealth prescribing for semaglutide in many states. Pros: streamlined program for initiating and refilling GLP‑1s, pharmacy fulfillment/shipping, and coaching options.

• Hims & Hers — has a weight‑management line that includes telehealth evaluation and prescription of GLP‑1s in participating states. Pros: simple online intake, home delivery, and consumer‑friendly pricing/subscription options.

• Onduo (Verily/Sanofi) — focused on diabetes care (not just weight loss); provides connected coaching, glucose monitoring support, and specialist care coordination. Pros: structured diabetes-management program with device integration and closer metabolic monitoring — good if your primary need is diabetes control.

• Teladoc / One Medical — larger primary‑care telehealth providers that manage chronic conditions; better if you want continuity of primary care plus access to specialists and full labs. Pros: broader scope of care and insurance integration.

How to choose between them

• If your priority is diabetes management (A1c, meds, CGM): favor Onduo, PlushCare, One Medical, or a telehealth service with explicit diabetes programs.
• If your priority is weight‑loss and streamlined GLP‑1 access: Ro, Hims & Hers, or Ro’s weight program may be easier.
• Check: licensing in your state, whether they will order baseline labs (A1c, kidney function, pregnancy test if applicable), how they handle refills/prior auth, cost (visit fee + medication/shipping), and availability of follow‑up/coaching.

Next steps

1. Confirm your top priorities (diabetes control vs weight loss vs convenience).
2. Contact 1–2 services above and ask: “Do you prescribe semaglutide/Ozempic for my condition, will you order baseline labs and ongoing monitoring, are you licensed in my state, and what will the total monthly cost be?”
3. Ask your current doctor to send medical records and latest labs to the telehealth provider so care is continuous.

Safety note: Don’t stop or change medications without guidance. Make sure the telehealth clinician reviews contraindications (pregnancy plans, pancreatitis history, thyroid cancer risk) and arranges appropriate lab monitoring.

If you tell me your state, whether your main goal is diabetes control or weight loss, and whether you prefer to use insurance, I can narrow this to 1–2 best fits and give sample questions to ask them.
