Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic
- Hims & Hers - Offers weight loss consultations and GLP-1 prescriptions where eligible
- Ro (Roman) - Has a body program specifically for weight management including GLP-1s
- Teladoc - General telehealth platform where providers can prescribe it if appropriate
- Noom Med - Combines their behavior program with medical prescriptions
- Found - Specializes in weight loss medication management
- Calibrate - Focuses on metabolic health with GLP-1 medications
- LifeMD - Offers weight management consultations
Important Things to Know
- Availability varies by state and individual eligibility
- Ozempic is FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes, not specifically weight loss (Wegovy is the weight-loss approved version)
- Shortages have affected availability
- Many platforms now offer compounded semaglutide as an alternative, though the FDA has raised concerns about this
- Insurance coverage is often limited, so costs can be significant ($800-$1,200+/month without coverage)
I'd recommend checking each platform's current offerings, as availability changes frequently.
