Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Several telehealth platforms make this process straightforward:
Reputable Services to Consider
- Hims & Hers - Offers semaglutide consultations with licensed providers, transparent pricing
- Ro (Roman) - Has a dedicated weight loss program with medical oversight
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Combines GLP-1 prescriptions with lifestyle coaching
- Noom Med - Pairs medication with behavioral support programs
- Found - Focuses specifically on weight care with multiple medication options
General Process
- Complete an online health questionnaire about your medical history, weight, and goals
- Virtual consultation with a licensed provider (doctor or NP)
- Provider evaluates if you qualify (typically BMI 27+ with a condition, or BMI 30+)
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy if approved
- Ongoing check-ins for monitoring and dose adjustments
Things to Know
- Insurance coverage varies - many plans now cover GLP-1s for diabetes but not always obesity
- Costs can be high without coverage ($900-$1,300+/month for brand names)
- Compounded versions are cheaper but carry some regulatory considerations
- A legitimate service will always require a medical consultation
