Wegovy Eligibility & Online Prescribing
Do You Qualify?
Likely yes. Wegovy (semaglutide) is FDA-approved for adults with:
- BMI ≥ 30 (obesity) — your BMI of 31 meets this threshold
- BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.)

Important Caveats
- A licensed provider still makes the final prescribing decision after a medical evaluation
- Insurance coverage varies widely — Wegovy can cost $1,300+/month without it
- Confirm they prescribe brand-name Wegovy, not just compounded semaglutide (different product)
- Discuss your full medical history, as there are some contraindications
