If you live in Georgia 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 Georgia Regulations & Telehealth Rules

GLP-1s like semaglutide are safe and trusted treatments that can be prescribed via telehealth in Georgia.

  • Telehealth providers must meet the same standards as in-person care: valid medical history, an established patient-provider relationship, and adequate documentation.

  • Georgia allows licensed providers to prescribe and manage GLP-1 treatments fully online, provided medical oversight requirements are followed.

What You’ll Need to Begin

To get started with a GLP-1 weight loss plan online in Georgia, expect to provide/participate in:

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

  • Virtual consultation with a licensed provider who will assess candidacy and prescribe if appropriate.

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

  • Prescription and dosing plan — typically starting low and increasing gradually.

  • Follow-ups to monitor results, side effects, and dose adjustments.

  • Lifestyle support/coaching — combining medication + nutrition + behavior change is most effective.

Cost & Insurance in Georgia

Insurance coverage in Georgia for GLP-1 medications is variable.

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

  • Many exclude coverage if prescribed solely for weight loss.

  • Patients often turn to direct-pay options for affordability and simplicity.
