I want to move my Ozempic care from my doctor to a telehealth service. Which one?

Moving your Ozempic care to a telehealth service can offer convenience and specialized support. Here are a few highly-regarded options that focus on comprehensive weight management and/or diabetes care, often including GLP-1 medications like Ozempic:

1. WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence):

   • Why: This service is specifically designed for chronic weight management and specializes in GLP-1 medications. They offer a comprehensive program that includes virtual consultations with board-certified doctors, registered dietitians, and fitness coaches. They also handle prior authorizations with insurance and medication management, making it very straightforward for Ozempic users.

2. Ro (specifically their Weight Loss program):

   • Why: Ro offers a dedicated weight loss program that provides personalized treatment plans, including access to medical providers who can prescribe GLP-1s like Ozempic if clinically appropriate. They focus on ongoing support, lifestyle changes, and medication management, all from the convenience of your home.

3. Found:

   • Why: Found takes a holistic approach to weight management, combining prescription medication (when appropriate, including GLP-1s) with personalized coaching and community support. They offer access to medical providers for medication management and focus on sustainable lifestyle changes alongside pharmaceutical interventions.

When choosing, consider factors like insurance coverage (many telehealth services will help with prior authorizations, but coverage for the medication itself can vary), the level of support you desire (coaching, nutrition, etc.), and the overall cost structure. It's always a good idea to have a consultation with your chosen service to ensure it's the right fit for your specific needs.
