Physician-led weight-loss medication support.

Request support for weight-loss medications, including eligibility, medication options, side effects, dose changes, and follow-up planning when telemedicine is appropriate.

What this service covers

This service supports weight-loss medication requests and follow-up needs when telemedicine is a safe fit. Medication options may include brand-name treatments such as Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo, or Wegovy pill when clinically appropriate. Ozempic and Mounjaro are related GLP-1 medications but are generally diabetes-indicated medications and may not be covered for weight loss unless there is a diabetes-related indication.

  • Eligibility and safety assessment
  • Medication option discussion when appropriate
  • Side-effect and dose-change support
  • Follow-up planning and monitoring recommendations

Clinical boundaries

Weight-loss medication treatment is individualized. Medication selection depends on your medical history, BMI, weight-related conditions, prior medication response, insurance or cash-pay preference, contraindications, and current availability. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications such as Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Foundayo, or Wegovy pill. Some patients need labs, vital-sign checks, in-person evaluation, specialist care, or a different treatment approach before medication can be considered.

May be appropriate for

  • Adults with BMI 30 or higher
  • Adults with BMI 27 to 29.9 and a weight-related condition
  • Patients already using a weight-loss medication who need follow-up
  • Patients comparing insurance and cash-pay medication options

Not appropriate for

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 for GLP-1 medications
  • Severe or concerning symptoms needing urgent evaluation
  • Patients expecting guaranteed prescriptions or guaranteed weight-loss outcomes

Information needed

  • Insurance versus cash-pay preference
  • Any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, thyroid cancer, MEN2, or severe GI disease

FAQ

Common questions

Which weight-loss medications can be discussed?

Depending on your history and goals, options may include Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo, Wegovy pill, or other medications when clinically appropriate. Ozempic and Mounjaro are generally diabetes-indicated medications and may not be covered for weight loss unless there is a diabetes-related indication. A request does not guarantee that a specific medication will be prescribed.

Are oral weight-loss medications available?

Newer oral GLP-1 options such as Foundayo and Wegovy pill may be considered when clinically appropriate. They may be useful for patients who prefer to avoid injections or who are comparing cash-pay options, but suitability depends on clinical history, contraindications, cost, and availability.

Does mentioning a medication mean it will be prescribed?

No. Medication names are listed as examples of options that may be discussed. A prescription is provided only when medically appropriate after clinical review.

Does this service guarantee weight loss?

No. Weight-loss outcomes vary, and a telemedicine visit does not guarantee weight loss, medication access, or a specific prescription.

Is medication cost separate?

Medication cost is separate and depends on insurance, pharmacy, dose, manufacturer programs, and current availability unless a specific bundled compounded medication option is used in the secure workflow.

Will I receive a prescription?

Not always. Medication is prescribed only when medically appropriate and safe based on your history, symptoms, medications, allergies, and other factors.
