Frequently asked questions.
If you are struggling to lose weight or have been diagnosed with a weight-related condition such as obesity, prediabetes, or high blood pressure, you may be a good candidate for a weight management plan.

If you have MD Live Virtual Primary Care as part of your health plan benefits and meet the medical requirements, you are eligible.
MD Live doctors will provide comprehensive weight management care, which includes personalized goals, food planning, nutrition guidance, physical activity, weight loss medications when appropriate, and health monitoring. Patients may also receive digital health coaching for ongoing support and to track their progress.
The copay for visits and the cost for prescriptions depend on your health plan benefits. Your MD Live doctor can view your health insurance information and determine which medicines are covered under your plan. They can help you review which medicines are available to you, as well as out-of-pocket costs, and prescribe the best option at their discretion. To reduce your out-of-pocket costs, you can explore available manufacturer savings or pharmacy discounts.

Yes. MD Live can share visit summaries with your regular doctor upon request to keep them updated, so nothing is missed.
Your MD Live primary care doctor will play a key role in your weight management. They will assess your health and set both short-term and long-term goals for you (for example, 5-10% weight loss or sustained weight loss). They may also recommend lab work, exercise, and the importance of good nutrition and taking your medicine. Your doctor will monitor your progress through follow-up visits and health tracking programs and coordinate care with other doctors if needed.
Yes, MD Live can prescribe GLP-1s and anti-obesity medications (such as Wegovy and Zepbound) as part of a patient's weight loss plan, at the doctor's discretion. These medicines are only available through a routine care visit. They cannot be prescribed during any other type of MD Live visit (for example, Primary Care Wellness Screening, Urgent Care, etc.) and are not available in certain states.
Your prescriptions can be sent to your preferred local pharmacy for pick-up or mailed to your home, if your prescription is eligible through mail-order.
Side effects commonly associated with GLP-1 medications include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach discomfort, especially early in treatment. Our doctors can prescribe additional medicine to manage side effects. If more serious side effects occur, our doctors can change your medication or dosage.
MD Live doctors can prescribe GLP-1s in all states except Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Jersey.
Yes! MD Live only prescribes FDA-approved medications, which have been thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness. We never use compounded or unapproved drugs, and board-certified doctors manage all prescriptions following strict safety guidelines.
Oral weight loss medicines and GLP-1 drugs differ mainly in effectiveness, their length of use, and how they act in the body. GLP-1s are generally used long-term for chronic weight management as they are considered more effective and lead to greater weight loss, while many oral drugs are approved for shorter-term use and have different side effects. Your doctor will discuss which weight management medications are the best fit for you and your health needs.
Yes! In addition to personalized plans created with your doctor, the MD Live Health Coaching App offers tools to support you on your weight loss journey, including meal planning tools, weekly challenges, progress tracking, reminders, motivation, and mental health support.
