Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Here are some reputable telehealth options:
Well-Known Platforms
- Hims & Hers - Offers semaglutide consultations; has faced some scrutiny but is widely used
- Ro (Roman) - Has a dedicated weight loss program with licensed providers
- Noom Med - Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Integrates medication with their established weight loss framework
- Found - Specializes specifically in weight loss medication management
General Process
- Complete an online intake form with health history
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy if you qualify
- Ongoing check-ins required for refills
Important Considerations
- You must qualify - providers require BMI thresholds (typically 27+ with a condition, or 30+)
- Insurance coverage varies - many plans don't cover GLP-1s for weight loss
- Cost can be $200-$1,500+/month without insurance
- Compounded versions are cheaper but have FDA safety concerns
Tip
Check if your regular doctor or insurance offers this first — it may be more affordable through traditional channels.
