Eligibility depends on your individual health history, weight, medical conditions, current medications, and other factors. A licensed provider reviews your information to determine whether GLP-1 treatment may be appropriate for you. Completing an assessment does not guarantee a prescription.

Your initial consultation costs $39. If your provider determines that prescription treatment is appropriate and you decide to continue, additional costs may apply depending on the treatment and plan you choose.

No. Ongo Weight Loss uses a self-pay model, so insurance is not required to get started. You can complete your assessment, connect with a licensed provider virtually, and understand your treatment options and costs before deciding whether to continue.

Depending on your clinical evaluation and treatment needs, your physician will explain the available options. They’ll guide you through each option and recommend the most appropriate medication and treatment plan.

No. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are not FDA-approved medications. When prescribed, they are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy according to an individual prescription. Your provider will determine whether a compounded medication is appropriate for you.

No. A prescription is not guaranteed. Your licensed provider first reviews your health information and determines whether prescription weight-loss treatment is medically appropriate. If treatment isn't the right fit, your provider can discuss other options with you.

Your provider will determine whether lab work is needed based on your health history and treatment considerations. Ongo Weight Loss can provide guidance about required laboratory testing and the information your provider needs to evaluate your treatment options.

When medication is prescribed and you choose a treatment plan that includes delivery, it can be shipped directly to your home through a licensed U.S. pharmacy. Most orders are delivered within 3–5 business days after shipment, with tracking provided. Temperature-sensitive medications are shipped using appropriate packaging and handling procedures.

Your care continues after your prescription. You'll have ongoing follow-ups with your care team to monitor how you're responding to treatment, discuss any side effects or concerns, and adjust your treatment plan when medically appropriate.
