Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer up front: I can’t check live availability, but as of my last update (June 2024) several national telehealth/online weight‑management services were offering prescriptions for tirzepatide (the drug class and brand names Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for weight loss). Examples to call or check:
- Hims & Hers (Hims/Hers) — runs an online weight‑management program and was listing GLP‑1 and tirzepatide options; easy telehealth visits and program support.
- Ro (Roman/Ro) — offers online weight‑loss care and has prescribed GLP‑1/tirzepatide through its platform and partner clinicians.
- PlushCare — primary‑care via telehealth that has been prescribing GLP‑1s for weight management and can coordinate ongoing care and labs.
- GoodRx Care — telehealth plus pharmacy coordination; they’ve been a common place to get prescription GLP‑1s and compare prices.
- Lemonaid Health — online clinic that has offered weight‑loss medication prescribing (semaglutide/tirzepatide) in states where allowed.
A few important notes:
- Some services may prescribe a specific brand name (Zepbound) or the diabetes formulation (Mounjaro) off‑label depending on your diagnosis and local rules. If you specifically want Zepbound, ask the provider before the visit.
- Availability varies by state, supply, and insurance; prior authorization is common and insurers may require documentation of prior attempts at weight management.
- Costs, delivery, and follow‑up (labs, injection teaching) differ — confirm whether they ship the medication or use a specialty pharmacy, and whether they offer nurse follow‑up.
If you want, tell me your state or whether you prefer brand-name Zepbound specifically and I’ll give a short checklist of questions to ask a telehealth service or draft a message you can send them.
