Telehealth and online prescriptions

Most of the weight, hormone, mental health and men's health care sold to adults today is prescribed by someone you will never meet in a room. That is legal, it is often cheaper, and it is not the same product as in-person care. This section covers what an online prescriber can and cannot do for you, which rules are about to change, and how to tell a real clinical service from a storefront with a questionnaire.

Sesame

Best for uninsured or high-deductible readers who want an upfront price for a visit, or a lower-fee brand-only GLP-1 program.

Sesame is the honest budget option: transparent per-visit cash prices, clinicians in every state, and a weight-loss program that sells brand-name GLP-1s only. It does not bill insurance, so insured readers pay out of pocket for the visit.

Telehealth visits from $34; weight-loss program $99/mo or $59/mo annual
