Short answer: Many mainstream telehealth and virtual primary‑care companies will evaluate patients for semaglutide (the drug class that includes Ozempic) and — if clinically appropriate and allowed in your state — can prescribe it. Which companies actually prescribe Ozempic specifically (vs. other semaglutide brands like Wegovy or alternative GLP‑1s/tirzepatide) varies by provider, state rules, and your medical history. Telehealth companies that commonly evaluate and may prescribe Ozempic/other GLP‑1s PlushCare — virtual primary care and urgent visits; board‑certified clinicians who manage diabetes and weight‑loss meds. Ro (Roman) — offers dedicated weight‑loss and metabolic care programs and will prescribe GLP‑1s when appropriate. Hims & Hers — has a weight‑loss/GLP‑1 program and telemedicine visits for prescription management. Teladoc — large telehealth network with primary‑care and specialty clinicians who treat chronic conditions including diabetes. Amwell — telehealth platform connecting you to primary‑care and endocrine clinicians who can prescribe GLP‑1s after evaluation. One Medical — membership primary care (virtual + in‑person) that manages chronic meds and can prescribe GLP‑1s. Onduo — virtual diabetes care program (Google/Verily/Sanofi partnership) focused on diabetes management and access to diabetes meds. Lemonaid Health — online clinic that prescribes various chronic meds and operates in many states; may offer GLP‑1s in eligible patients. GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor) — online visit service that sometimes prescribes GLP‑1s and can help with pricing/discounts. Important notes before you try: Ozempic is FDA‑approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy (also semaglutide) is the brand approved for chronic weight management. Many clinicians will choose the appropriate brand/dose based on diagnosis and insurance. Telehealth providers will require a medical evaluation, review of your history and possibly labs (A1c, kidney function), and may decline to prescribe if it’s unsafe or off‑label for your situation. State laws, company policies, and supply shortages affect availability. Prices/insurance coverage vary widely; some programs help with manufacturer savings programs but may not cover the drug. Beware of services that advertise prescription shipments without a live clinical evaluation — that’s unsafe and often illegal. If you want, tell me your state and whether you have insurance — I can check which of these services operate there, or help you compare out‑of‑pocket costs and entry steps.
