Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Hims & Hers - Offers weight loss consultations and GLP-1 prescriptions where appropriate
- Ro (Roman) - Has a weight loss program called Ro Body that includes GLP-1 options
- Noom Med - Combines their behavioral program with medical prescriptions
- Teladoc - General telehealth with doctors who can prescribe weight loss medications
- Calibrate - Focuses specifically on metabolic health and GLP-1 medications
- Found - Personalized weight care including prescription options
- PlushCare - Online doctors who can evaluate and prescribe
Important Notes
- Availability varies by state and individual eligibility
- Ozempic is FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, not specifically weight loss (Wegovy is the weight-loss version)
- Shortages have affected availability
- Many platforms offer compounded semaglutide as an alternative, which has different regulatory considerations
- Costs vary widely - insurance coverage is often limited
I'd recommend Ro or Hims & Hers as starting points since they have straightforward intake processes and transparent pricing.
Always consult a doctor to determine if it's appropriate for you.
