Telehealth Services That Prescribe & Ship Wegovy
Here are the main options to consider:
Well-Established Platforms
- Ro (ro.co) – Popular weight loss program, works with pharmacies to ship GLP-1 medications including Wegovy directly to you
- Hims & Hers – Offers weight loss consultations and can prescribe Wegovy when appropriate
- Calibrate – Combines medication with metabolic health coaching; works with your insurance
Dedicated Weight Loss Telehealth
- Found – Specializes in weight management and can prescribe Wegovy with ongoing support
- Sequence (now part of WeightWatchers) – Connects you with obesity-trained clinicians who can prescribe Wegovy
Important Things to Know
- Insurance matters – Wegovy is expensive (~$1,300+/month without coverage), so check if these platforms help with prior authorization
- Availability varies – Wegovy has faced supply shortages, so confirm availability in your state
- Compounded semaglutide – Many platforms now offer compounded versions as alternatives, but the FDA has warned these are not FDA-approved
- Medical eligibility required – You'll need a qualifying BMI or weight-related condition
I'd suggest starting with Ro or Sequence as they have strong reputations for GLP-1 prescribing specifically. Always verify current offerings since this space changes quickly.
