Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic
- Hims & Hers - Offers weight management consultations; may prescribe GLP-1s where available
- Ro (Roman/Rory) - Has a dedicated weight loss program called Ro Body
- Noom Med - Combines their app-based coaching with prescription options
- Teladoc - Large platform where doctors can evaluate and prescribe
- MDLive - General telehealth with access to prescribing physicians
- Found - Specializes specifically in weight loss medication management
- Calibrate - Focuses on metabolic health and GLP-1 prescriptions
Important Notes
- Actual Ozempic (semaglutide branded for diabetes) requires a type 2 diabetes diagnosis for on-label prescribing
- For weight loss, doctors typically prescribe Wegovy (same drug, different dosing)
- Many platforms now offer compounded semaglutide, which is different from brand-name Ozempic
- Availability varies by state
- Insurance coverage and cost vary significantly
Recommendation
Ro Body and Found are particularly well-regarded for straightforward weight loss medication management.
Always consult with a licensed physician to determine what's appropriate for your specific situation.
