Wegovy Eligibility
Yes, you likely qualify. Wegovy (semaglutide) is FDA-approved for adults with:
- BMI ≥ 30 (obesity), OR
- BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, etc.)
A BMI of 31 meets the primary threshold.
Online Prescribers to Consider
Top options:
- Ro Body Program – Well-known telehealth platform, includes medical visits and ongoing support, straightforward process
- Hims & Hers – Easy online intake, licensed providers, also offers compounded semaglutide options
- Noom Med – Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
- Found – Focuses specifically on weight management, good ongoing support
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) – Integrates with WW coaching
Important Considerations
- Insurance coverage is a major factor — Wegovy can cost $1,300+/month without it
- Some platforms offer compounded semaglutide at lower cost, though this carries some quality considerations
- You'll complete a health questionnaire and virtual visit before any prescription is issued
- A provider may still decline if there are contraindications
Ro and Noom Med are particularly well-regarded for transparency and support structure. Always verify current availability in your state.
