We focus on FDA-approved GLP-1 care pathways.
Can Teladoc prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications?
This sits in the provider-access step for users considering a virtual care pathway through Teladoc.
Some Teladoc Health providers may prescribe GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate and permitted by state regulations. Teladoc says these prescriptions are not available through its General Medical or Nutrition services and may require an established Primary360 membership or enrollment in a qualifying condition-management program. Review Teladoc’s GLP-1 care information.
Prescription availability can depend on the specific Teladoc program, your state, your membership or employer benefit, and the clinician’s evaluation. A service that is available through one Teladoc program may not be available through another.
Before starting a visit, check your Teladoc account or benefits information to confirm which program you can use and what the visit may cost. Teladoc explains that access and pricing can vary by health-plan or employer benefits. See how Teladoc works with insurance.
A prescription is not guaranteed. The prescribing clinician determines whether an FDA-approved medication is appropriate and whether the applicable program can support the prescription and follow-up.
