If you live in Colorado and are considering  semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other GLP-1 medications to support weight loss, this guide walks you through everything — from state telehealth rules to pricing to what the process looks like.

Key Colorado Regulations & Telehealth Rules

GLP-1s like Semaglutide are safe, proven treatments that can be prescribed via telehealth in Colorado.

  • Telehealth providers must meet the same standards as in-person care: medical history review, patient-provider relationship, and proper documentation.

  • Colorado law supports telemedicine, allowing residents statewide — from Denver to smaller mountain towns — to access licensed providers online.

What You’ll Need to Begin

To start a GLP-1 weight loss plan online in Colorado, expect to complete:

  • Medical intake / health history — BMI, pre-existing conditions, and past weight loss attempts.

  • Virtual consultation with a licensed Colorado provider to determine candidacy and prescribe.

  • Informed consent — reviewing dosing schedule, benefits, and risks.

  • Prescription and dosing plan — typically beginning at a low dose, then adjusted gradually.

  • Follow-ups to monitor progress, side effects, and dosage changes.

  • Lifestyle support/coaching — combining GLP-1 treatment with healthy eating and activity produces the best results.

Cost & Insurance in Colorado

Coverage for GLP-1 medications in Colorado varies widely:

  • Some insurance plans cover them for obesity or overweight with comorbidities.

  • Many exclude coverage if prescribed solely for weight loss.

  • Direct-pay options are common for residents seeking affordability and flexibility.
