I want to move my Ozempic care from my doctor to a telehealth service. Which one?

Quick question before I recommend services: are you taking Ozempic (semaglutide) for type 2 diabetes or for weight loss? Insurance coverage, monitoring needs, and the exact product (Ozempic vs Wegovy) can change which telehealth service is best.

If you want some options now, here are reputable telehealth choices and why people pick them:

• Calibrate — best if your main goal is a structured weight‑loss program using GLP‑1s. Includes MD oversight, regular coaching, labs and a 12‑month program. More expensive but very programmatic and focused on long‑term care.

• PlushCare — good if you want ongoing primary‑care style management (diabetes or weight). They accept many insurance plans, offer virtual primary care doctors who can manage chronic meds and order labs, and provide continuity of care.

• Hims & Hers — easy, fast access and generally lower cost for weight‑management prescriptions. Convenient if you want straightforward virtual visits and home delivery, though it’s more of a direct-to-consumer model than long-term primary care.

• Ro (Roman) — convenient telehealth + medication delivery, and they offer weight‑loss/primary care services. Good if you want simple refill/ship options and quick appointments.

• One Medical (now part of Amazon) / Carbon Health — if you prefer a subscription primary‑care model with strong virtual care and in‑person options when needed. Good for people who want ongoing management and easy lab coordination.

Things to check before you switch

• Purpose and dose: Ozempic (diabetes) vs Wegovy (weight loss) — different dosing and coverage.
• Insurance/Cost: Some services accept insurance (PlushCare, One Medical); others are cash/subscription-based.
• Labs and monitoring: Make sure the service will order baseline labs (A1c, kidney function) and follow‑up testing.
• Prescribing policy: Confirm the service prescribes semaglutide and will provide ongoing refills rather than a one‑off prescription.
• Prior authorization/shipping: Ask how they handle PA and medication delivery/supplies.
• Continuity: If you want a long-term relationship, pick a telehealth provider that offers continuity (primary care focus) rather than a one-time consult.

If you tell me: (1) diabetes vs weight loss, (2) whether you want to use insurance, and (3) if you prefer an ongoing primary‑care relationship or a program-style service, I’ll narrow this to the single best fit and can help draft the message to transfer records/prescriptions.
