Several reputable telehealth programs either currently prescribe tirzepatide (Zepbound) or commonly offer GLP‑1/tirzepatide options. Availability changes quickly, so confirm Zepbound specifically when you sign up. Good options to consider:
-
Hims & Hers — Offers telehealth weight‑loss visits and has added tirzepatide options. Pros: easy online intake, fast shipping, straightforward subscription plans and regular clinician follow‑ups.
-
Ro (Roman / Ro) — Well‑established telehealth clinic for men’s/women’s and metabolic care; known for quick appointments, medication fulfilment, and ongoing remote follow‑up.
-
PlushCare — Primary‑care focused telehealth that prescribes weight‑loss medications and often works with insurance. Pros: continuity of care with MDs/NPs and ability to integrate lab work and prescriptions with your insurance.
-
One Medical — Membership primary‑care that provides chronic care and weight‑management; good if you want long‑term primary care continuity plus access to prescription weight‑loss meds.
-
Calibrate — A program focused on metabolic/weight management with coaching + medical oversight. Pros: structured behavioral coaching plus clinician management (check if Zepbound is available now).
-
Profile by Sanford — A national weight‑loss clinic network offering medication plus a structured lifestyle program; good if you want a program-style approach with local or virtual options.
What to check before you sign up
- Confirm they specifically prescribe Zepbound (brand vs. generic tirzepatide) and current availability.
- Ask about board‑certified clinicians, required labs/monitoring, follow‑up frequency.
- Verify cost, whether they handle prior authorization, and if your insurance covers it.
- Confirm shipping, refill logistics, and how they handle side‑effect monitoring.
If you’d like, tell me your state, whether you have insurance, and whether you want heavy coaching vs. simple med management — I can narrow these to the best fit for you.
