How to find a GLP-1 telehealth provider: cost, insurance, and state availability
By Lauren Pescarus, GLP Winner. Updated .
Finding a GLP-1 provider online comes down to three questions: what you can spend each month, whether your insurance covers the medication, and who is allowed to prescribe and ship in your state. GLP Winner compares 16 telehealth providers on those three things and keeps review pages for 100 more. We do not sell or prescribe anything.
- Compounded semaglutide
- from $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide
- from $129/mo
- FDA-approved brands
- from $247/mo
Lowest cash prices listed on GLP Winner. Compounded prices are for month-to-month plans. Brand prices are the medication plus the provider’s membership fee. A listed price last changed on October 22, 2026.
Five steps to find a provider
Pick your lane: brand name or compounded
Both are prescription medications, prescribed by a licensed clinician. Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, the Wegovy pill and Foundayo are FDA-approved. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are made by licensed pharmacies for an individual prescription and are not FDA-approved. Compounded usually costs less. Brand name has the published clinical trial data, and because most insurance plans do not cover compounded medication, it is the version a plan will pay for, if it covers GLP-1s at all. The survey opens with this question.
Make sure they can ship to you
A provider can only prescribe where its clinicians are licensed, and its pharmacy has to be licensed to ship to your state too. Each provider listing on GLP Winner says whether it ships to your state, and the survey only shows you providers that do. That saves you from finishing a provider’s intake form only to learn it does not serve your state.
Add up the real monthly cost
Some providers charge for the medication and nothing else. Others add a membership fee, a visit fee, or both, and the total is not always clear until checkout. We list the fees we know about next to the price. Check the total at the provider’s checkout before you pay.
Check that they’re legit
Look for state licensing, certifications, a named pharmacy and a clinician evaluation before anyone writes a prescription. Each provider page on GLP Winner names the pharmacies the provider uses, and each pharmacy page lists its state licenses and accreditations.
Read the recent reviews
Read for what goes wrong after you sign up: shipping delays, dose changes, customer service and refunds. Each provider page gathers reviews from Trustpilot, Google and GLP Winner’s own users, newest first, so you can read what people said this month rather than last year.
What to compare before you choose
Most of the difference between providers comes down to four things. GLP Winner shows them the same way on each full listing, so you can compare without starting six intake forms to find out.
What it really costs each month
Providers price one of two ways: medication only, or medication plus a monthly membership that covers things like clinician visits, dose changes and messaging. Neither is automatically better, and a membership can be worth it if you want more hands-on care. The problem is a total you cannot see until checkout. 3 of the 16 providers we compare charge a membership fee on at least one plan. Where a provider charges a membership or visit fee, we list it as its own line next to the medication price.

Brand name or compounded
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved. They are made by licensed compounding pharmacies for a specific prescription, and they are not generics of the brand-name drugs. The rules are still moving. The FDA’s shortage listings ended for tirzepatide in December 2024 and for semaglutide in February 2025, which narrowed what pharmacies may compound. In April 2026 the FDA proposed keeping both drugs off the list that large outsourcing facilities (503B) compound from. That proposal is not final, and state-licensed pharmacies (503A) can still compound for an individual prescription within tighter limits. Expect the compounded options to keep changing. The FDA-approved options are Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, the Wegovy pill and Foundayo. We list providers for both, and each listing says which it is.
Who’s behind it
Before a provider gets a full listing, we look at its prices, its process, its pharmacy and how its prescribers are credentialed, and at the company and its owners. Each provider page names the pharmacies it uses, so you can look them up yourself.
Whether they cover your state
Telehealth licensing is state by state, and it changes. Right now all 50 states have at least one provider we compare, from 9 in the least-covered state to 16 in the best-covered. Each provider page says whether it ships to your state, and the survey only shows providers that do.

Red flags
Some things should end the conversation. Walk away if a provider:
- Hands you a prescription minutes after a web form, without telling you which clinician licensed in your state reviewed it. You should know who read your health history and approved the prescription.
- Never asks about your medical history or the medications you take.
- Will not tell you which pharmacy your medication comes from.
- Shows one price on its site and a different one at checkout.
- Ships without a prescription, or sells “research use only” peptides for people to take.
If a provider on GLP Winner does any of this, let the team know so we can look into it.
How we verify providers
A full listing starts with research: the provider’s prices, its process, the pharmacies it uses and how its prescribers are credentialed, plus the company and its owners. We also secret shop providers, including ones that pay us. After that a listing takes daily work to keep accurate, and we may pull a provider from results while a reported problem is looked into. Reviews come from GLP Winner, Trustpilot and Google, each tagged with its source, and providers cannot pay to change, hide or remove one.

Common questions
Can I get a GLP-1 online without insurance?
Yes. Each of the 16 providers we compare lists a cash price, and you can see it before you start an intake form. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $129. The same holds if you have insurance that does not cover the medication, which is common.
What if I already have a prescription?
You will still need a new evaluation. Each provider prescribes through its own clinician, so a prescription written somewhere else does not transfer. Your current prescription and dose still help: providers generally ask for them and take your dose into account. If you do not have a prescription yet, you do not need one to start.
Can I keep my current pharmacy?
Usually not for compounded medication. The listed price is for the pharmacy the provider works with, which ships to your home once the clinician evaluation is done. Each provider page names its pharmacies. For brand-name medication it depends on the provider: some ship it to you, and others send the prescription to a pharmacy.
How often do prices change?
Often enough that a price you saw last month may be out of date. In the last 30 days, 3 of the 16 providers with compounded pricing changed a listed price. We check listed prices often and update a provider’s page when one moves. Price alerts email you when a price drops.
