Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Ro (ro.co) – Offers weight management programs and can prescribe GLP-1 medications including semaglutide
- Hims & Hers – Has a weight loss program with access to GLP-1 prescriptions
- Teladoc – Large telehealth platform where doctors can evaluate and prescribe Ozempic
- PlushCare – Connects you with doctors who can prescribe weight loss medications
- Sesame – Marketplace to find affordable telehealth visits where providers may prescribe it
Important Things to Know
- Insurance matters – Ozempic is FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, not weight loss (Wegovy is approved for obesity). Coverage varies significantly
- Compounded semaglutide – Many telehealth companies offer compounded versions, which are cheaper but not FDA-approved brand-name drugs
- Medical evaluation required – You'll need to qualify based on BMI, health history, etc.
- Costs – Brand-name Ozempic can cost $800-$1,000+/month without insurance
Tip
Check if your regular insurance covers it first, as telehealth prescriptions still need pharmacy fulfillment.
