Telehealth Services That Prescribe & Ship Wegovy
Here are the main options to consider:
Dedicated Weight Loss Platforms
- Ro Body – Well-known platform with licensed providers; ships medications directly and offers ongoing support
- Calibrate – Focuses on metabolic health with coaching; works with insurance for coverage
- Found – Combines medication with behavioral coaching; accepts some insurance
General Telehealth Platforms
- Hims & Hers – Offers weight management consultations and can prescribe GLP-1 medications
- Noom Med – The medical arm of Noom; pairs prescriptions with their behavioral program
- Teladoc – Larger platform where doctors can evaluate and prescribe
Things to Know Before Choosing
- Wegovy availability has been inconsistent due to high demand/shortages
- Many platforms may offer compounded semaglutide instead if Wegovy is unavailable
- Insurance coverage varies significantly; out-of-pocket costs can be $1,000+/month
- Most require a health evaluation first (BMI requirements, medical history)
Practical Tips
- Check if the service accepts your specific insurance
- Ask directly whether they're prescribing brand-name Wegovy vs. compounded versions
- Look for platforms with ongoing medical supervision, not just a one-time prescription
