What to look for
Branded vs. compounded medication
Branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound) are FDA-approved finished drugs; compounded versions are made by compounding pharmacies and are not individually FDA-approved. Compounded is cheaper, but sourcing and pharmacy quality matter — prefer providers that name their pharmacy partner.
All-in monthly cost, not the intro price
Many programs advertise a low first-month price that jumps 50–100% afterward, or add a separate membership fee on top of medication. Ask what month 6 costs at a maintenance dose before judging value.
Dose-agnostic pricing
GLP-1 doses escalate over the first several months. Some providers charge more at higher doses; others keep the price flat as you titrate. Flat pricing can save significant money over a year.
What's bundled
Provider visits, lab work, and shipping are included at some platforms and billed separately at others. A program that looks $100 cheaper can end up more expensive once you add unbundled essentials.
Cancellation policy
Billing and cancellation friction is the single most common complaint category we see in patient reviews of weight loss telehealth. Check whether you can cancel online (not just by phone) and what the refund window is before you start.

Can I really get GLP-1 medication prescribed online?
▾
Yes. Telehealth providers connect you with licensed clinicians who evaluate your BMI, health history, and goals — usually through an online intake, sometimes with a video visit. If you qualify, the prescription is sent to a partner pharmacy and shipped to you. Most programs require a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition.
What's the difference between compounded and brand-name GLP-1s?
▾
Brand-name GLP-1s like Wegovy and Zepbound are FDA-approved drugs made by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Compounded versions contain the same active ingredient but are prepared by compounding pharmacies and are not individually FDA-approved. Compounded is usually cheaper, though manufacturer self-pay pricing (roughly $149–349/month for Wegovy and $299–449/month for Zepbound, depending on form and dose) has narrowed the gap considerably. Oversight of compounded medication varies by pharmacy — which is why we score sourcing transparency in our trust dimension.
Will insurance cover weight loss medication prescribed through telehealth?
▾
Usually not through cash-pay telehealth platforms — most operate outside insurance entirely. If you have coverage for weight loss medication, it's often cheaper to get a prescription through your own doctor and use insurance at a retail pharmacy. Cash-pay telehealth makes the most sense when insurance won't cover the medication.
How much weight can I expect to lose on a GLP-1?
▾
In clinical trials, patients on semaglutide lost an average of 15–17% of body weight over about 16 months, and tirzepatide patients lost up to 22.5%. Individual results vary widely, and most patients regain a substantial portion after stopping, so a plan for maintenance matters as much as the medication.
