Before you choose a weight-loss provider

Check who will actually treat you

A website brand, medical practice and dispensing pharmacy may be different businesses. Ask for the clinician’s name, relevant state license and pharmacy details. Verify these with the appropriate licensing authority. A directory entry is not a registration certificate.

Your location matters

Telehealth access depends on state rules and provider licensure. Check where you must be physically located for your appointment, especially if traveling. HHS licensure information.

Compare the support you will use

• Video visits or messages? Expected response times?
• Registered dietitian, coach or general educational app?
• Required tests and who pays for them?
• Support during shortages, side effects or transfer from another service?
• Renewal, cancellation and refund rules?

Prepare for the clinical assessment

Give the prescriber accurate health history and current medication information through their secure service. General BMI thresholds do not guarantee suitability. We do not collect that information or assess treatment eligibility.
