• Eligibility Criteria: Wegovy is prescribed for individuals with a certain BMI and in some cases, with weight-related health conditions. The telehealth services will have online questionnaires and doctor consultations to determine your eligibility.
• Consultation Process: Understand how the consultation will work. Is it a video call, a phone call, or a messaging-based exchange?
• Shipping and Fulfillment: Confirm their shipping process, including how long it typically takes and if they use a specialty pharmacy that can handle temperature-sensitive medications like Wegovy.
• Ongoing Support: Some services offer additional support like nutrition coaching or check-ins, which can be very beneficial for long-term success with weight loss medications.

It's always a good idea to visit the websites of these services to get the most up-to-date information on their offerings, pricing, and specific eligibility requirements.
