What to Look for in a Wegovy Telehealth Provider

Before paying, verify these key factors:

Medical Legitimacy

• Licensed physicians or NPs/PAs must prescribe (not just "health coaches")
• Provider should be licensed in your state
• Look for board-certified obesity medicine specialists

What's Actually Included in the Price

• Is the medication cost separate from the consultation fee?
• Does the price include follow-up visits?
• Are lab work or prior authorization assistance covered?

Insurance & Savings Support

• Do they help with prior authorization (Wegovy often requires it)?
• Will they assist with Novo Nordisk's savings card (can reduce cost significantly)?

Red Flags to Avoid

• No real medical intake/health history review
• Promising prescriptions without proper screening
• Vague pricing or hidden fees

Reputable Providers to Consider

• Ro Body – transparent pricing, physician-led
• Calibrate – focuses on metabolic health with coaching
• Found – medication + behavioral support
• Hims/Hers – straightforward process, insurance guidance
• Sequence (WeightWatchers) – insurance navigation focus

Before You Pay

✅ Confirm they prescribe brand-name Wegovy (not just compounded semaglutide) ✅ Read cancellation policy carefully ✅ Check BBB and Trustpilot reviews
