Several national telehealth companies commonly evaluate patients and — when clinically appropriate — will prescribe semaglutide (Ozempic) or other GLP‑1 medications. Which ones will actually prescribe depends on your medical history, the indication (type 2 diabetes vs. weight management), state law, and the company’s current policies. Examples to consider:
- Teladoc — large, nationwide telehealth platform with chronic‑care and diabetes services; good for ongoing medication management and specialist referrals.
- Amwell — broad telemedicine network and specialty clinics (including endocrinology/diabetes) that can prescribe diabetes meds when appropriate.
- PlushCare — offers same‑day visits and chronic disease management; clinicians commonly manage diabetes meds and newer weight‑loss therapies.
- Ro (Roman) — runs targeted weight‑loss and metabolic programs and has been offering GLP‑1 prescriptions through its clinics in eligible patients.
- Hims & Hers — has a weight‑management service and providers who may prescribe semaglutide or other GLP‑1s for eligible patients.
- GoodRx Care (HeyDoctor) — convenient online visit + prescription service; often used to obtain diabetes or weight‑loss meds and compare pharmacy prices.
- Onduo (Verily/Sanofi partnership) — diabetes management program that offers clinician oversight and medication management for people with type 2 diabetes (availability varies).
A few important notes:
- Ozempic is FDA‑approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is the FDA‑approved semaglutide product for chronic weight management. Some clinicians prescribe Ozempic off‑label for weight loss, but policies vary.
- Telehealth companies may require recent labs, medical history, or an in‑person visit before prescribing. State telemedicine rules and supply/shortage issues also affect availability.
- Always verify the specific service’s current offering and whether they prescribe semaglutide in your state, and check pricing/insurance coverage.
If you tell me your state and whether your goal is diabetes control or weight loss, I can narrow this list to the most likely options and link you to each service’s signup page.
