Short answer: many telehealth and virtual-primary-care companies will evaluate you and—if appropriate—prescribe semaglutide products such as Ozempic (for type 2 diabetes) or higher‑dose semaglutide (Wegovy) for weight management. Which ones actually prescribe varies by company, product, and state, but common options include:
- Hims & Hers — runs a direct-to-consumer weight‑loss program and has offered semaglutide (GLP‑1) prescriptions through telehealth visits. Good for straightforward, consumer‑oriented care.
- Ro (Roman/Ro Weight) — offers virtual weight‑management programs and telehealth evaluations that can result in semaglutide prescriptions; focused on convenience and delivery.
- PlushCare — virtual primary‑care and specialty visits; clinicians will evaluate diabetes/weight‑loss needs and can prescribe GLP‑1s when appropriate. Accepts some insurances.
- One Medical — virtual + in‑person primary care; clinicians can prescribe Ozempic/Wegovy as clinically indicated and coordinate lab follow‑up and insurance.
- Lemonaid Health — low‑cost telehealth visits and medication delivery; has offered semaglutide prescriptions in eligible states.
- GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor/GoodRx Telehealth) — telehealth visits plus access to GoodRx pricing programs; may help arrange semaglutide prescriptions or alternatives.
- Onduo — diabetes‑focused virtual clinic (Verily/Sanofi partnership) that manages diabetes care and can prescribe GLP‑1 therapies for eligible patients.
- Parsley Health / Forward — membership primary‑care/functional medicine services with telehealth that can prescribe GLP‑1s as part of a broader weight‑management or metabolic program.
Notes and next steps:
- Ozempic is FDA‑approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is the FDA‑approved formulation/dose for chronic weight management. Many telehealth clinics may prescribe either product (or off‑label dosing) depending on clinical judgment and local rules.
- Availability depends on your state, medical history, necessary labs, and insurer/formulary rules; some companies will not prescribe without recent labs or an in‑person visit.
- Prices and whether a company will ship a specific brand vary; manufacturers’ supply issues and insurer prior‑authorization rules also affect access. If you want, tell me your state and whether you’re seeking Ozempic for diabetes or semaglutide for weight loss and I can check which of these services is available/likely to be the best fit.
