The key distinction to hold onto: Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are FDA-approved finished-drug products manufactured by Novo Nordisk (Wegovy, Ozempic) or Eli Lilly (Mounjaro, Zepbound). Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved — they are prepared by licensed pharmacies and are typically cheaper, but they are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before sale, and are not legally the same product as the brand. Brand-name access usually runs through insurance (with prior authorization) or a materially higher cash-pay price than compounded programs charge. The 9 programs below are the ones in our registry that verifiably offer at least one of these four brand-name drugs by name, each sourced to the provider’s own site.
Who this list is for
Shoppers who specifically want the FDA-approved brand-name drug — not a compounded version — and want to know which telehealth programs actually carry it, and roughly what it costs.

Why we ranked them this way
- Brand-name pricing on these pages varies enormously by path: a self-pay cash list price with no insurance (ShedRx’s Wegovy from $499/mo, Sprout Health’s Wegovy from $1,799/mo, Found’s Ozempic ~$1,100/mo), a membership/program fee with the drug billed separately via insurance and a copay that depends entirely on your plan (Calibrate, Mochi Health, WeightWatchers, Ro, Sesame Care), or no published price at all pending intake (Wellorithm, which names all four drugs on its own site but discloses no dollar figure for any medication). These bases are not comparable to each other, which is why this list is alphabetical, not price-ranked — ranking on any single one of these numbers would falsely imply it is the total cost of getting the same drug everywhere.
- Every program here ALSO offers compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (see the "Compounded vs brand" column) except Ro, Sesame Care, and Calibrate, which are brand-only in our registry. If your priority is the lowest verified price rather than the FDA-approved product specifically, see our compounded rankings instead.
- Insurance-billed brand-name GLP-1 typically requires prior authorization and documentation aligned with the FDA label criteria (BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with a weight-related condition) — call your insurer before paying any program fee. Cash-pay brand-name list prices shown here can still run well above compounded pricing even without insurance in the mix.
- This list answers "which programs carry the brand," not "which is cheapest." For a head-to-head cost comparison of the brand against compounded alternatives, see our Wegovy and Zepbound cost-comparison guides linked below.

Frequently asked questions
Which telehealth programs offer real, FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound?
In our verified registry (July 2026), 9 programs verifiably offer at least one of these four brand-name drugs by name on their own site: ShedRx, Sprout Health, Mochi Health, Calibrate, Found, WeightWatchers, Ro, Sesame Care, and Wellorithm. Ro, Sesame Care, and Calibrate are brand-name only in our registry (no compounded option); the other six offer both.
Is compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide the same as the brand-name drug?
No. Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide) are FDA-approved and manufactured by Novo Nordisk; Mounjaro and Zepbound (tirzepatide) are FDA-approved and manufactured by Eli Lilly. Compounded versions are prepared by state-licensed pharmacies, are not individually FDA-approved, and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before sale. See our compounded-vs-brand cost comparisons for the price gap on each drug.
Why is brand-name GLP-1 so much more expensive than compounded?
Compounded medication is priced by the pharmacy preparing it and is cash-pay everywhere; brand-name medication is priced by the manufacturer and is expensive without insurance (though manufacturer self-pay programs — NovoCare for Wegovy/Ozempic, LillyDirect for Zepbound — have narrowed that gap). With insurance and an approved prior authorization, brand-name can end up cheaper out-of-pocket than compounded, since compounded is never insurance-reimbursable.
Do all 9 of these programs publish a brand-name price?
No. ShedRx, Sprout Health, and Found publish a specific cash dollar figure for at least one brand-name drug. Calibrate, Mochi Health, WeightWatchers, Ro, and Sesame Care bill the drug through insurance, so the actual out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan and copay. Wellorithm names all four drugs on its own site but publishes no price for any medication, brand or compounded — confirm cost at intake.
