Our Network of Board-Certified Providers
Connect with experienced, US-licensed physicians specializing in metabolic health and GLP-1 therapy. All providers are board-certified and committed to evidence-based care.
Wisconsin residents can access FDA-approved GLP-1 medications through licensed telehealth providers at the most affordable cost possible. Whether you are in Abbotsford or a smaller community, our physicians and support staff help navigate insurance coverage and manufacturer savings programs to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are covered by many insurance plans when prescribed for FDA-approved indications. Clinical trials confirm 15-22% average body weight reduction — making GLP-1 a cost-effective investment when weighed against the health costs of obesity-related conditions.[1][2]

Wisconsin allows licensed physicians to prescribe GLP-1 medications through telehealth, creating a more affordable pathway than traditional specialist visits. All WI-licensed providers in our network are equipped to handle insurance billing, prior authorization support, and savings program enrollment.
Select your city to explore affordable GLP-1 telehealth options and available insurance and savings programs in your area.
Three randomized controlled trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine establish the evidence base for FDA-approved GLP-1 medications:
Wisconsin authorizes board-certified licensed physicians to prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications via telehealth after a valid patient-physician relationship is established through an online consultation. GLP-1 receptor agonists are not DEA-scheduled controlled substances — no in-person visit is legally required in Wisconsin.
Our insurance-friendly GLP-1 telehealth network covers all states neighboring Wisconsin and all 50 states nationwide.

Yes, for many patients. Telehealth eliminates office visit costs, and many Wisconsin insurance plans cover GLP-1 medications for FDA-approved indications. Manufacturer savings programs can reduce costs to as little as $0-25 per month for eligible patients with commercial insurance.
Many private insurance plans in Wisconsin cover GLP-1 medications when prescribed for FDA-approved indications. Coverage depends on your specific plan and medication. Our WI-licensed physicians provide documentation to support insurance coverage and prior authorization when needed.
Novo Nordisk (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro, Zepbound) offer savings card programs for commercially insured Wisconsin patients that can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. Patient assistance programs are also available for those who qualify based on income.
Typically, yes. Telehealth eliminates specialist referral costs, office visit copays, and the time and transportation expense of in-person visits. Many Wisconsin patients find the total cost of telehealth GLP-1 care to be equal to or lower than traditional in-person pathways.
Adults in Wisconsin with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition, are typically eligible for GLP-1 therapy. Eligibility for savings programs depends on insurance status and income. Your physician will help identify the most cost-effective pathway for your specific situation.
Black Box Warning: In rodent studies, semaglutide and tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It is unknown whether GLP-1 receptor agonists cause thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans. These medications are contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, and injection site reactions. These typically diminish as dosage is gradually escalated.
Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney injury, hypoglycemia (with insulin), and allergic reactions. Consult your healthcare provider immediately if you experience severe symptoms.
Contraindications: History of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2, pancreatitis, pregnancy or breastfeeding, severe gastrointestinal disease. This is not a complete list — always discuss your full medical history with your physician.
