Doctor-guided GLP⁠-⁠1 care for Oklahoma

Yes. You complete a short medical intake online, and a doctor licensed in Oklahoma personally reviews it — Oklahoma's Medical Board requires information equivalent to a face-to-face encounter, so if your form and messages cannot give your doctor that, you will be asked to book a video visit. If treatment is appropriate for you, your prescription is filled by a licensed US pharmacy and shipped overnight to your door anywhere in Oklahoma. You may not need to visit a clinic in person.

Semaglutide injections start at $135/month and tirzepatide at $169/month. The price includes the medication itself, your doctor visits, ongoing medical supervision, and overnight refrigerated shipping. There is no membership fee, and the intake and your doctor's first review or visit are free: you pay nothing until you choose to start medication.

Not at this time. For compounded medicine we charge one all-in monthly price with the medication, doctor visits, and shipping included, so there is no prior authorization. Brand-name care is $28/month for the doctor, and you buy the medicine from the maker's pharmacy. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, and we provide itemized receipts and a Letter of Medical Necessity on request.

Compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic) and compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro), each as a weekly injection. Tirzepatide and semaglutide injections may contain nothing added or a B vitamin. Your doctor recommends the medication, form, and dose that fit your health history and goals.

James Simmons, MD, our medical director, is licensed in Oklahoma and board-certified in emergency medicine (ABEM). He personally reviews your intake, meets with you over video when either of you wants a visit, and supervises your treatment over time.

All of Oklahoma. Care starts online and medication ships overnight statewide, so care is the same whether you're in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Broken Arrow, or a town without a weight-management clinic nearby.

Not through Gentle Health. We do not bill Medicare, SoonerCare or private insurance, and everyone pays the prices shown on this page. To pursue coverage instead you would need a provider who accepts your plan and prescribes a medication it covers — the FDA-approved brands, not a compounded preparation. Where each programme stands:

1. SoonerCare: Not covered for weight loss. The rule states that drugs used primarily for the treatment of obesity are not covered, and SoonerCare's Metabolic Disorders criteria approve Wegovy only for members with established cardiovascular disease or MASH, and Zepbound only for obstructive sleep apnea.
2. Medicare: Coverage may still be possible through the federal GLP-1 Bridge: a $50 copay for Wegovy, Zepbound or Foundayo through December 31, 2027, for Part D enrollees with a BMI of 35 or more, or lower with specific heart, stroke, artery, blood-pressure, kidney or prediabetes conditions. Type 2 diabetes, moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and MASH are covered through regular Part D instead.

It depends on what your doctor needs to see. You start with the online form; a doctor licensed in Oklahoma reviews it and, before deciding, may message you with follow-up questions or ask you to book a video visit. Oklahoma lets the physician-patient relationship be formed by telemedicine (Title 59 § 478.1(A)) once the physician confirms your identity and physical location and shares their credentials. The Medical Board's telemedicine rule (OAC 435:10-7-13) requires that the information your doctor has be equivalent to a face-to-face encounter, including a documented history and physical exam, so if your form and messages cannot give your doctor that, you will be asked to book a video visit. The statute's only telemedicine prescribing bar covers opiates, benzodiazepines and carisoprodol.

No. Oklahoma's statutory definition of telemedicine excludes automated text messages or automated mobile applications as the only interaction: a health care professional has to take part. Online exchanges between you and that professional, and store-and-forward review of your information, do count. Prescribing without a sufficient examination is unprofessional conduct, and the Medical Board's rules expect the information your doctor has to be equivalent to a face-to-face encounter.
