Short answer: many general telehealth and specialty weight‑loss telemedicine providers will prescribe semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic) when it’s medically appropriate. Which ones actually prescribe Ozempic specifically — versus another semaglutide brand such as Wegovy or a different GLP‑1 — depends on the company, the clinician, state laws, and your diagnosis. Telehealth companies that commonly evaluate patients and (when appropriate) prescribe semaglutide/Ozempic Teladoc — large national telehealth network; primary‑care and specialty clinicians can treat diabetes/weight issues and prescribe medications when appropriate. Amwell — broad telemedicine platform used by many health systems; clinicians may prescribe semaglutide for qualifying patients. Doctor On Demand / Included Health — telehealth primary care/behavioral health with prescribing capability for chronic conditions. PlushCare — advertises diabetes and weight‑loss care and has prescribed GLP‑1s for eligible patients. Hims & Hers — runs telehealth weight‑loss programs and has offered semaglutide prescribing through clinician consultations. Ro (Roman) — offers primary‑care/weight programs and telehealth consults that have included GLP‑1 prescriptions. Calibrate — specialty weight‑loss program focused on metabolic care; integrates coaching with GLP‑1 prescribing for eligible patients. One Medical — membership primary care with telehealth visits; clinicians manage chronic disease and may prescribe semaglutide. Parsley Health — functional/holistic primary care that offers weight‑management programs and can prescr ibe GLP‑1s when indicated. GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor — telehealth consults tied to GoodRx that have facilitated semaglutide prescriptions in some cases. 98point6 and MDLive — text/video‑based primary care services that can prescribe non‑controlled meds, potentially including semaglutide. Important caveats Prescribing is not guaranteed. Clinicians must evaluate your medical history, labs, and state law; many platforms will only prescribe for FDA‑approved indications (type 2 diabetes vs. obesity) or after appropriate screening. Some platforms prefer to prescribe the FDA‑approved weight‑loss product (Wegovy) rather than Ozempic; supply, insurance coverage, and cost vary widely. Off‑label use occurs but depends on the clinician. Expect baseline labs and follow‑up monitoring (kidney function, GI side effects, etc.) and discussion of contraindications. What to do next Pick a platform available in your state, book an evaluation, and ask upfront whether they prescribe semaglutide/Ozempic (and whether they prescribe it for weight loss vs. diabetes). Ask about costs, whether they’ll prescribe Wegovy vs Ozempic, required labs/monitoring, and options if insurance won’t cover it. If you want, tell me your state and whether you need Ozempic for diabetes or for weight loss and I can narrow which services are most likely to meet your needs.

I don’t have live access to verify every provider right now, but as of mid‑2024 several well‑known telehealth and virtual weight‑loss services were offering tirzepatide (Zepbound) or actively prescribing GLP‑1/tirzepatide alternatives. Availability changes quickly by state, supply, and prescriber discretion, so always confirm directly with the service. Providers to check: Form Health (by Ro) — specializes in medically supervised weight‑loss programs and was one of the first telehealth services to add tirzepatide options and support for prior authorization and ongoing follow‑up. Good if you want programmatic care (coaching + med management). Hims & Hers — broad telehealth platform that added GLP‑1 options (including tirzepatide in some regions). Easy to use and widely available across states. PlushCare — offers primary‑care and weight‑management visits with ongoing follow‑up; known to prescribe GLP‑1s and to coordinate refills and labs. GoodRx Care (GoodRx telemedicine network) — can connect you with clinicians who will evaluate for and prescribe weight‑loss meds; also helps compare pharmacy prices and coupons. Lemonaid Health — lower‑cost online visits and medication delivery; has offered GLP‑1 prescriptions in many states. One Medical / 98point6 / Carbon Health — primary‑care focused services that have been expanding obesity care, including GLP‑1/tirzepatide prescribing in some locations. How to confirm for your situation Search each site for “Zepbound” or “tirzepatide” (many list specific drugs) or call/chat their support line. Ask whether they prescribe in your state, whether they do in‑person lab work/monitoring, and whether they handle prior authorization. Check whether they ship the medication or send prescriptions to a local pharmacy and what the expected out‑of‑pocket cost or insurance coverage will be. Safety note A licensed clinician must determine whether Zepbound is appropriate for you (medical history, labs, pregnancy risk, interactions). Avoid non‑medical suppliers or discounts that seem too good to be true. If you’d like, tell me your state and whether you prefer ongoing coaching or just a prescription, and I can suggest which of these services to contact first and what questions to ask.

The cost of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) through an online clinic can vary significantly, generally ranging from \$50 to \$150+ per month, not including potential initial lab fees which can add another \$50-\$200 upfront. This cost typically breaks down into a few components: Clinic Membership/Subscription Fee: This covers the provider consultations, prescription management, and ongoing support. Medication Costs: The actual hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, anti-androgens, etc.). Lab Test Costs: Initial and periodic blood work to monitor hormone levels and health markers. Here are some specific online clinics and their typical cost structures, categorized by common HRT needs: For Menopausal HRT / Perimenopause / Andropause (Low T) These services often focus on convenience and personalized care for age-related hormone changes. Evernow: Cost: Approximately \$39/month for membership. Why: Specializes in menopause and perimenopause. Includes unlimited messaging with a menopause-certified clinician, personalized treatment plans, and prescription management. Medication and lab costs are separate. Alloy (MyAlloy.com): Cost: Around \$59/month for the care plan. Why: Focuses on women's health, particularly menopause symptoms. Offers consultations, prescriptions (often generic), and ongoing support. Medication and lab costs are separate. Midi Health: Cost: Varies, as they often accept insurance for consultations. If paying out-of-pocket, initial consultations can be around \$175-\$225, with follow-ups around \$75-\$100. Why: Provides personalized care for perimenopause and menopause, including medication, lifestyle changes, and supplements. They are unique in often accepting insurance for the visits, which can significantly reduce the monthly out-of-pocket for consultations. Medication and lab costs are separate. Hello Alpha (now part of 98point6): Cost: Around \$30-$45/month for a general subscription that includes various women's health services, including HRT. Why: Offers a broader range of women's health services. The subscription covers visits, and prescriptions are sent to your local pharmacy. Medication and lab costs are separate. For Gender-Affirming HRT (GAHT) These services are specifically designed for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals seeking HRT, often with a focus on informed consent models. Folx Health: Cost: \$69-\$79/month (depending on the plan). Why: Specializes in LGBTQIA+ healthcare, operating on an informed consent model. Their membership often includes* your medications shipped directly to you, plus lab review, and unlimited care team support. Initial lab work is typically an additional cost (around \$50-\$100 depending on insurance/negotiated rates). Plume Health: Cost: Approximately \$99/month. Why: Also specializes in gender-affirming care via an informed consent model. This monthly fee covers all provider visits, unlimited messaging with your care team, and official letters for name changes or surgery. However, medication costs and lab costs are separate* and typically paid directly to your pharmacy and lab. Important Considerations: Medication Costs: These can vary widely. Generic pills are often the cheapest (e.g., \$5-\$30/month). Patches, gels, creams, and injectables can be more expensive (e.g., \$20-\$100+ per month). Using discount cards like GoodRx can often reduce these costs significantly. Lab Costs: Initial blood work to establish baseline levels and subsequent tests to monitor can cost anywhere from \$50 to \$200 per test if not covered by insurance. Some online clinics negotiate lower rates with labs or recommend specific labs. Insurance: Most online clinics for HRT do not directly bill insurance for their membership fees (Plume, Folx, Evernow, Alloy). However, your insurance may* cover your medication costs and lab tests if prescribed by the online provider and processed through a traditional pharmacy/lab. Always check with your insurance provider. What's Included: Carefully read what each clinic's monthly fee covers. Some include medication, some include labs, most include provider access. To get the most accurate estimate, it's best to visit the websites of a few specific clinics that align with your needs and review their pricing details and what is included in their monthly fees.
