Short answer: several mainstream telehealth and virtual primary-care companies do prescribe Ozempic (semaglutide) or other GLP‑1 medications when clinically appropriate. Availability depends on your state, your medical history, and the company’s current policies.
Common telehealth providers that routinely evaluate and (when appropriate) prescribe Ozempic/semaglutide or similar GLP‑1s
- Hims & Hers — offers a weight‑loss program and telehealth consults; convenient consumer interface and includes medication management.
- Ro (Roman) — telemedicine platform for men’s/women’s and primary-care issues that connects you with clinicians who may prescribe GLP‑1s.
- PlushCare — board‑certified doctors, accepts many insurances, often used for chronic‑care meds including GLP‑1s.

Important points before you sign up
- You must have a clinician evaluation (medical history, sometimes labs). Not every patient will be an appropriate candidate.
- Some services will prescribe the brand Ozempic; others may prescribe Wegovy (higher‑dose semaglutide for weight loss), Mounjaro/Zepbound (tirzepatide) or other GLP‑1s depending on goals and availability.
- Insurance coverage, prior authorization, and supply shortages vary widely — costs can be high out‑of‑pocket.
- Safety: GLP‑1s have side effects and contraindications (e.g., personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2, pregnancy). Never buy injectables from unverified online pharmacies.
If you want, tell me your state and whether you’re seeking Ozempic for diabetes or weight loss and I can check which of these services currently operates in your area and compare likely costs/insurance options.
