Short answer: many mainstream telehealth and virtual-primary-care services will evaluate patients and — when clinically appropriate — prescribe semaglutide (Ozempic) or other GLP‑1 drugs. Below are specific services that commonly provide these prescriptions, with a short note about each.
- Hims & Hers — consumer-focused telehealth with a weight‑management program; offers online consults and home delivery for GLP‑1 medications when appropriate.
- PlushCare — virtual primary‑care and chronic‑care platform that can evaluate diabetes and weight‑management needs and prescribe GLP‑1s.
- Lemonaid Health — low‑cost telemedicine provider that has offered semaglutide for weight management via online visit + shipping.
- Ro (Roman) — direct‑to‑consumer telehealth that runs weight‑loss and metabolic programs and can arrange prescriptions and delivery.
- GoodRx / HeyDoctor — GoodRx’s telehealth (HeyDoctor/GoodRx Care) has offered online evaluations and prescriptions for GLP‑1 therapy, plus price savings/coupons.
- One Medical — membership primary‑care with telehealth visits; clinicians can manage diabetes/weight care and prescribe GLP‑1s.
- Teladoc and Amwell — large telehealth marketplaces that connect you with PCPs/specialists who may prescribe GLP‑1s for diabetes or weight‑related care after evaluation.
- Onduo (Verily) — diabetes‑focused virtual care program that partners with clinicians to manage type 2 diabetes and may prescribe GLP‑1 therapy when indicated.
Important notes:
- Availability varies by state, by platform, and by whether the clinician considers the medication clinically appropriate (Ozempic is FDA‑approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is the semaglutide brand FDA‑approved for chronic weight management). Many clinicians now also prescribe other GLP‑1s or tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) depending on need.
- Expect a medical intake, possible labs or recent glucose/HbA1c results, and follow‑up monitoring. Legitimate providers will not ship injectable meds without a proper clinical evaluation.
- If you want, tell me your state (or zip) and whether you need the drug for diabetes or for weight management, and I can check which of these services operate there and how they typically handle prescriptions.
