FL · 22 million residents
Florida's large population of adults with obesity and metabolic syndrome makes it one of the highest-volume GLP-1 markets. All six programs we review prescribe statewide, and Florida's telehealth rules are among the most patient-friendly in the country.
Prescribing rules in Florida
Florida licenses out-of-state physicians to prescribe via telehealth after registering with the Florida Board of Medicine. A synchronous initial visit is required. Florida law explicitly permits telehealth prescribing of non-controlled medications like GLP-1s.
Insurance landscape
Florida Blue covers Wegovy and Zepbound on most large-group plans with prior authorization. Medicare Part D does not cover GLP-1s for weight loss (only diabetes), affecting Florida's large retiree population. Compounded cash-pay options are particularly popular here.
