Several telehealth companies commonly evaluate patients and—when clinically appropriate and legal in your state—will prescribe Ozempic (semaglutide) or other GLP‑1 medications. Examples:
- GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor — low‑cost virtual visits and prescription services; GoodRx also lists coupons that can lower medication cost.
- PlushCare — virtual primary‑care clinicians who manage chronic conditions and weight‑loss treatments, including GLP‑1s when appropriate.
- Hims / Hers — consumer telehealth programs that offer weight‑loss care and may prescribe semaglutide through an online visit.
- Ro (Roman) — offers direct‑to‑consumer weight‑loss/health programs that include clinician evaluation and possible semaglutide prescriptions.
- Lemonaid Health — affordable online visits and prescriptions for common conditions; some patients obtain GLP‑1s through their service.
- SteadyMD — ongoing virtual primary care with continuity (helpful if you need long‑term management and refills); clinicians may prescribe GLP‑1s.
- Onduo (diabetes care program) — diabetes‑focused virtual care (often through insurers) that can coordinate prescriptions for glucose‑lowering meds including GLP‑1s.
- Calibrate — a structured metabolic/weight‑loss program combining coaching and medical management; uses GLP‑1s as part of some plans.
Important notes:
- Prescribing requires a clinical evaluation and is subject to FDA indications, medical suitability, state rules, and current drug availability/shortages. Some services will not prescribe for cosmetic weight loss if it’s off‑label.
- Prices, insurance coverage, and shipping options vary widely by company and state. Always check the service’s website or ask during the visit about cost, whether they prescribe Ozempic specifically (versus other semaglutide brands like Wegovy or alternatives like tirzepatide), and how refills are handled.
If you tell me your state or whether you have insurance, I can check which of these services are available to you and what typical costs look like.
