Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Ro (ro.co) - Offers weight management programs and can prescribe GLP-1 medications including branded and compounded options
- Hims & Hers - Has a weight loss program with access to GLP-1 prescriptions
- Noom Med - Combines their behavioral program with medical prescriptions
- Teladoc/TelaHealth - General telehealth platform where doctors can prescribe it if appropriate
- Found - Specializes in weight loss medicine
- Calibrate - Focuses on metabolic health with GLP-1 medications
Important Things to Know
- Insurance matters - Ozempic is FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, not weight loss (Wegovy is the weight-loss approval), so coverage varies
- Availability - Ozempic has faced shortage issues, so some providers offer compounded semaglutide instead
- Eligibility - You'll need a consultation and typically must meet BMI or health criteria
- Cost - Without insurance, it can be $800–$1,000+/month
I'd recommend checking Ro or Hims & Hers first, as they have streamlined processes and transparent pricing.
Always consult a doctor to confirm it's appropriate for your situation.
