FAQs
- Can I get GLP-1s through telehealth?
Yes: telehealth platforms can evaluate you and prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, following the same prescription requirement as in-person care.
- Can I use my HSA/FSA?
Generally yes for a medication treating a diagnosed condition, but check your plan administrator's documentation rules.
- Can my primary care doctor prescribe GLP-1s?
Often, yes. Most primary care doctors can prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications; some refer out depending on your history.
- Do I need a prescription for LillyDirect?
Yes: LillyDirect is a fulfillment and self-pay pricing program, not a way around getting evaluated by a clinician.
- Does insurance cover GLP-1s?
It depends on your plan, the medication, and the diagnosis code. Check your formulary and expect possible prior authorization.
- How do I know if a GLP-1 provider is legitimate?
Check for FDA-approved medications only, licensed clinician evaluation, transparent pricing, and no promises of guaranteed prescriptions.
