How It Typically Works:
- Complete a health questionnaire online
- Virtual visit with a licensed provider (often async/messaging)
- Provider evaluates if you qualify
- Prescription sent to pharmacy or delivered
Important Notes:
- You still need a real licensed provider to prescribe it — these services just make it convenient
- Wegovy is expensive (~$1,300+/month) without insurance
- These platforms can help check your insurance coverage
- You must meet clinical criteria (BMI requirements)
This is completely legitimate — you're just replacing the in-person visit with a virtual one.
