We focus on FDA-approved GLP-1 care pathways.
How do I know if a GLP-1 provider is legitimate?
This applies wherever you're comparing options: telehealth providers or manufacturer programs.
A few signals are worth checking before you commit to any provider:
- It offers FDA-approved medications, not compounded or unapproved versions, and says so clearly.
- It requires a real clinical evaluation. A questionnaire alone, with no clinician review, is not evaluation.
- Pricing is published and specific, not “contact us for a quote.”
- It doesn’t promise a prescription. A legitimate provider evaluates you first; nobody can guarantee the outcome before that happens.
- You can find who’s licensing the clinicians and in which states they’re allowed to practice.
We only cover providers offering FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, and every fact on their profile page links to where we found it, so you can check it yourself. See our how we verify page for the full process.
