GLP-1 Candidate Checker
Quiz-style guidance based on common GLP-1 eligibility criteria, with a progress bar and plain-language results.
This checker reflects common prescribing criteria, but it cannot assess your full medical history. Always consult a licensed clinician.

We reviewed these telehealth providers for GLP-1 access, pricing, and clinical quality. All require a medical evaluation before prescribing.
Eligibility: what most guidelines consider
GLP-1 medications are prescription therapies that require evaluation by a licensed provider. Many prescribing guidelines consider body mass index (BMI) alongside health conditions that increase cardiometabolic risk. A common framework is BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 with qualifying comorbidities (like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, or heart disease).
This checker uses that common pattern, then adds a “consult required” flag if you select potential disqualifiers (for example, pancreatitis history or thyroid cancer risk). That doesn’t automatically mean you’re ineligible—it means a clinician needs to weigh risks, benefits, and alternatives in context.
If you’re exploring GLP-1s, it can also help to plan for the fundamentals: set a realistic timeline, protect muscle with protein and resistance training, and understand expected costs and coverage.
