Wegovy Eligibility
Good news - you likely qualify. The FDA-approved criteria for Wegovy (semaglutide) includes:
- BMI of 30+ (obesity) with no other conditions required, OR
- BMI of 27+ with at least one weight-related condition
A BMI of 31 meets the threshold.
Online Prescription Services to Consider
Top options:
- Ro Body (ro.co) - Well-established telehealth platform, includes coaching support, straightforward process
- Hims/Hers - Large telehealth provider, competitive pricing, easy signup
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Combines medication with their behavior program
- Found - Focuses on personalized treatment plans
- Noom Med - Pairs medication with their psychology-based coaching
Important Things to Know
- Availability can be limited due to high demand/shortages
- Cost is significant - often $1,300+/month without insurance
- Insurance coverage varies widely - check your plan first
- A licensed physician or NP will still conduct a virtual consultation before prescribing
- You'll need to disclose your full medical history honestly
I'd suggest starting with your insurance situation first, as that may determine which platform works best for your coverage.
