5 Best GLP-1 Providers That Don't Require a Video Call
Skip the scheduling, skip the camera. These providers prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide via simple online questionnaires reviewed by real physicians.
For many patients, the biggest barrier to starting a GLP-1 weight loss program isn't the cost — it's the mandatory video call. Scheduling a 15-minute appointment during work hours, finding a private space, setting up your camera, and repeating your medical history to a stranger on screen feels like an unnecessary hurdle when the same information could be collected via a form.
The good news: several telehealth providers now offer fully async consultations where a board-certified physician reviews your medical questionnaire, health history, and BMI data without a live video appointment. The clinical rigor is identical — they just skip the performative "face time."
We tested 16 providers and categorized each by consultation type. Here's which ones require a camera and which ones don't.

The 5 Best No-Video-Call GLP-1 Providers
Telehealth FX uses a comprehensive medical questionnaire reviewed by a board-certified physician — no video call, no phone call, no scheduling. In our test, we completed the intake in 8 minutes on a Sunday evening. The physician reviewed it the next morning and approved the prescription by noon.
The async approach doesn't mean less clinical rigor. The questionnaire covers BMI, weight history, current medications, allergies, contraindications, and health goals. If the physician needs clarification, they message you through the platform — no appointment needed.
At $146/month all-in with no contracts, it's both the cheapest and the fastest (4-day delivery) no-video-call provider we found. They also offer tirzepatide, which most async providers don't carry.
Mochi's async intake is straightforward and their provider response time averaged 6 hours in our test. The $50 initial evaluation fee is a minor friction point, and semaglutide is the only medication option. But for a no-video-call experience with a polished brand, it's a solid choice.
Henry Meds uses async consultations with physician review typically within 24 hours. The $199/month medication price is competitive, though the $249 initial consultation fee is easy to miss. Good dosing flexibility and no long-term contracts.
Lemonaid gives you the option of async or video consultation, which is a nice flexibility. Most patients choose async. The $25 quarterly consultation fee and $75 lab requirement at 6 months add incremental costs that aren't obvious upfront.
Done uses async consultations with a unique dual-treatment angle for patients managing both weight and ADHD. For weight loss alone, it's mid-range on pricing at $210/month with a 3-month commitment. But the no-video-call process is smooth and physician response was within 12 hours.
