Frequently asked questions
Which telehealth is best for weight loss?
We do not rank providers while our scoring methodology is unpublished. Compare what each offers — brand-name vs compounded, membership vs pharmacy-only — and check state availability.
Are telehealth GLP-1s legitimate?
Brand-name GLP-1s prescribed by a licensed clinician after a proper consultation are legitimate. Ask whether a product is brand-name or compounded; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
Do I need insurance?
No, but brand-name GLP-1 costs differ widely with and without coverage. Each provider publishes its own pricing.
