Wegovy Eligibility
Yes, you likely qualify. Wegovy (semaglutide) is FDA-approved for adults with:
- BMI ≥ 30 (obesity) — which fits your situation
- BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, etc.)
Online Prescription Services to Consider
Top options:
- Ro Body Program — Well-known telehealth platform, includes ongoing provider support and insurance assistance
- Hims & Hers — Easy signup, licensed providers, offers GLP-1 medications
- Found — Focuses specifically on weight management, pairs medication with coaching
- Calibrate — Metabolic health program with doctor oversight and lifestyle coaching
- Noom Med — Combines behavioral program with medical prescriptions
Important Things to Know
- A licensed physician or NP must evaluate you (usually via questionnaire + video/async consult)
- Insurance coverage varies widely — Wegovy can cost $1,300+/month without it
- These services will check for contraindications (thyroid history, pancreatitis, etc.)
- Availability may depend on your state
My practical suggestion: Start with Ro or Found — they have streamlined processes and strong support systems for GLP-1 medications specifically.
Always be honest with your provider about your full medical history.
