Several telehealth companies can prescribe Ozempic® (semaglutide), though availability often depends on whether you have type 2 diabetes (its FDA-approved use) or are seeking it for weight loss (off-label use). Key providers include:
| Telehealth Company | Prescribes Ozempic? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PlushCare | ✅ Yes | Prescribes Ozempic for eligible patients with type 2 diabetes; offers same-day online consultations [3]. Also available for off-label weight loss use if clinically appropriate [3]. |
| Ro (Ro.co) | ✅ Yes | Offers Ozempic through its weight loss program; prescribes off-label for weight loss when a provider deems it appropriate [2][8]. |
| Hers | ✅ Yes (selectively) | Offers Ozempic online if a provider determines it’s right for you, but may also suggest alternatives like Wegovy® [2]. |
| Eden | ✅ Yes | Provides GLP-1 injections including Ozempic after provider evaluation [2]. |
| Found | ⚠️ Likely (via GLP-1) | Offers GLP-1 injections; may include Ozempic depending on provider judgment [2]. |
| LifeMD | ✅ Yes | Includes Ozempic in its weight loss program with clinical oversight [4]. |
| Lemonaid Health | ✅ Yes | Explicitly lists Ozempic ($1,199/month) as an available weight management option [9]. |
| Call-On-Doc | ✅ Yes | Prescribes Ozempic online for weight loss with delivery to your pharmacy [5]. |
| Sesame Care | ⚠️ Possibly | Launched a weight loss program with same-day appointments; may prescribe Ozempic if eligible [4]. |
| K Health | ❌ No (for weight loss) | Prescribes Ozempic only for type 2 diabetes; suggests alternatives like Wegovy® or Saxenda for weight loss [4]. |
Important Considerations:
- Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss. Many providers prescribe it off-label for weight loss, but eligibility depends on BMI, health history, and clinical judgment [2].
- Some companies (e.g., Hers, Found) may offer compounded semaglutide instead of brand-name Ozempic, which is cheaper but not FDA-approved [1][7].
- Prices vary significantly: PlushCare offers Ozempic at $199/month (first two months) for out-of-pocket users via NovoCare® Pharmacy [3], while Lemonaid lists it at $1,199/month [9].
For the most reliable access to brand-name Ozempic, PlushCare and Ro are strong options with clear pathways for both diabetes and off-label weight loss use.
