Here are some telehealth companies that prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic
- Hims & Hers - Offers weight loss consultations; prescribes GLP-1 medications where appropriate
- Ro (Body program) - Has a dedicated weight management program with licensed providers
- Noom Med - Combines their behavioral app with medical prescriptions
- Teladoc - Large platform where doctors can prescribe based on clinical need
- PlushCare - Connects you with physicians who handle weight management
- Found - Specializes specifically in weight loss medication management
Important Things to Know
- Ozempic is FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, not specifically for weight loss (Wegovy is the weight-loss-approved version)
- Providers will evaluate your BMI, health history, and eligibility
- Many companies have been offering compounded semaglutide due to shortages, which is different from brand-name Ozempic
- Costs vary widely, and insurance coverage is inconsistent
Tip
Check whether the service includes ongoing monitoring, as these medications require follow-up care for safety and effectiveness.
Always consult a licensed medical provider to determine if it's appropriate for you.
