Here are some telehealth companies that can prescribe Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications:
Companies That May Prescribe Ozempic
- Ro (Roman) - Large, well-established telehealth platform with licensed providers who can evaluate and prescribe weight loss medications
- Hims & Hers - Offers weight management programs with GLP-1 prescriptions where appropriate
- Calibrate - Specifically focused on metabolic health and weight loss with GLP-1 medications
- Found - Weight care platform that works with GLP-1 medications
- Teladoc - Large general telehealth service with providers who can discuss weight management
- PlushCare - Can connect you with doctors who prescribe weight loss medications
Important Notes
- Availability varies - Ozempic (semaglutide) has faced supply shortages, so providers may offer alternatives like Wegovy, Mounjaro, or compounded semaglutide
- You must qualify - Providers require a medical evaluation; Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy is approved for weight loss
- Insurance matters - Coverage varies significantly and out-of-pocket costs can be very high ($800-$1,000+/month)
- Compounded versions are offered by some platforms but carry different regulatory considerations
Always consult a licensed medical provider to determine what's appropriate for your situation.
