Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Several telehealth platforms make this process straightforward:
Reputable Services to Consider
- Hims & Hers - Offers semaglutide consultations with licensed providers; competitive pricing
- Ro (Roman) - Has a dedicated weight loss program with GLP-1 options
- Noom Med - Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
- WeightWatchers Clinic (Sequence) - Integrates medication with lifestyle support
- Found - Specializes in weight management with medication options
General Process
- Complete an online health questionnaire about your medical history, weight, and goals
- Virtual consultation with a licensed provider (often async or video)
- Provider evaluates eligibility (typically BMI 27+ with a related condition, or BMI 30+)
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy if approved
Important Things to Know
- Insurance coverage varies - many plans now cover GLP-1s for obesity
- Cost without insurance can be $900-$1,300+/month for brand names
- Compounded versions are cheaper but come with quality considerations
- Be cautious of services with no real medical oversight
Good Starting Point
I'd suggest Ro or Hims & Hers for straightforward onboarding and transparent pricing.
