Online GLP‑1 treatment · all 50 states
Get evaluated for GLP‑1 treatment online.
An independent, licensed provider reviews your history and decides whether GLP‑1 therapy is appropriate for you. If it is prescribed, medication ships to your door with ongoing support.
See if you qualify →All prescriptions require evaluation by an independent, licensed provider. Not all patients will qualify. The provider determines whether treatment is appropriate. GLP‑1 medications are prescription drugs with risks as well as benefits; results vary by individual and depend on factors including nutrition, activity, and medical history.

Telehealth vs. an in-person clinic for GLP‑1 treatment
Both routes can result in a prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide when it is medically appropriate. The difference is in how care is delivered, not what is prescribed.
| Factor | Telehealth | In-person clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Complete an online assessment at any time; an independent licensed provider reviews it and responds with a decision | Requires scheduling an appointment; availability varies by practice and specialty |
| Typical cost structure | Flat monthly price that commonly bundles the visit and medication | Visit billed separately from medication; may be covered by insurance |
| Insurance | Often cash-pay only | More likely to bill insurance, though GLP-1 coverage varies widely by plan |
| Physical exam and in-office labs | Not performed; labs ordered separately if needed | Vitals and bloodwork collected on site |
| Dose adjustments | Handled by message or video check-in | Handled at follow-up appointments |
| Coordination with your other care | Separate from your existing medical record | Easier to manage alongside blood pressure, diabetes, and other prescriptions |
| Best suited to | Uncomplicated medical history; convenience and speed are the priority | Complex history, multiple medications, or a preference for in-person evaluation |

Can I really get a GLP-1 prescription online? +
Yes. GLP-1 medications can be legally prescribed via telehealth in all 50 states after an evaluation by a provider licensed in your state. Not everyone qualifies — the provider decides whether the medication is appropriate for you. The visit, any prescription, and follow-up care all happen online.
How does the process work? +
You complete an online health assessment, which takes about 10 minutes. An independent, licensed provider reviews your information and responds with a decision. Not everyone qualifies — the provider determines whether GLP-1 therapy is medically appropriate for you. If it is prescribed, medication ships to your door.
How is safety handled in a telehealth GLP-1 visit? +
The provider reviews your medical history, current medications, and any lab work before deciding whether to prescribe, and check-ins accompany each dose change. GLP-1 medications carry contraindications and boxed warnings and are not appropriate for everyone. Only the licensed provider who reviews your history can determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you, and they will direct you to in-person care if your history calls for it.
When is an in-person clinic the better choice? +
If you have complex medical conditions, prefer hands-on vitals and labs at each visit, or want a program that combines medication with in-office coaching, a local clinic may serve you better — that's what this directory is for.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide? +
Both are injectable prescription medications used in weight management. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Each molecule is approved by the FDA in branded formulations for chronic weight management and, separately, for type 2 diabetes. Which one is appropriate for you, if either, depends on your medical history and is a decision for your prescribing provider. See the FDA and NIDDK sources listed on this page.

About compounded medications: A compounded drug is prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality, and they are not the same as FDA-approved generic drugs. Ask any practice which it dispenses and which pharmacy prepares it.
