The primary telehealth programs that include both lab work and structured follow-ups for Ozempic (semaglutide) are Meto, Calibrate, Sequence (by WeightWatchers), Plushcare, and Sesame (Success by Sesame) [1].
Here is how each program handles labs and follow-ups:
| Program | Lab Work Included? | Follow-Up Schedule | Key Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meto | Yes | 3 & 6 months | Comprehensive baseline + follow-ups; covers CMP, HbA1c, lipid panel, TSH, CBC, uric acid [1][10]. Labs included in fee [1]. |
| Calibrate | Yes | 3 & 12 months | "Metabolic Reset" covers baseline + follow-up labs; includes health coaching [1][3][10]. |
| Sequence (WeightWatchers) | Yes | 6 months | Requires standard panel (Quest/Labcorp); 6-month follow-up labs are standard [1][10]. |
| Plushcare | Yes | Quarterly | Requires CMP, HbA1c, lipid panel; accepts insurance for lab costs [1][10]. |
| Sesame | Yes | Video visits | "Success by Sesame" ($99/mo) explicitly includes video visits and labs [1]. |
Additional programs that typically include baseline labs and follow-ups (though specifics may vary by state or plan) include Ro Body Program, Found, Form Health, and Alpha Medical [2][3][5].
Ro Body Program is frequently highlighted as a top choice specifically because it includes lab work, an insurance concierge, and comprehensive coaching [5]. Found and Form Health also emphasize medical supervision with necessary labs and ongoing virtual check-ins [2][3].
Note: Most quality GLP-1 programs require baseline metabolic labs (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid panel, TSH, renal markers) before prescribing [9][10]. Always confirm current coverage and state-specific requirements directly with the provider.
