Wegovy Eligibility
Yes, you likely qualify. Wegovy (semaglutide) is FDA-approved for adults with:
- BMI ≥ 30 (obesity) — which fits your situation
- BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (hypertension, diabetes, etc.)
Online Prescription Services to Consider
Top options:
-
Ro Body Program — Well-known telehealth platform, includes ongoing physician support and medication management
-
Hims & Hers — Offers GLP-1 medications with licensed provider consultations
-
Noom Med — Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
-
Found — Specializes specifically in weight management with medical oversight
-
Teladoc Health — Large telehealth network with weight management physicians
Important Things to Know
- A licensed physician or NP must evaluate you — no legitimate service skips this step
- Insurance coverage varies widely — Wegovy can cost $1,300+/month without it
- Some services offer compounded semaglutide which is cheaper but less regulated
- You'll need to discuss your full medical history as there are contraindications
I'd recommend starting with Ro or Found as they specialize in this area and have streamlined the process. Always ensure you're working with a board-certified provider.
