Push Health
A telehealth software platform where independent clinicians review a written request and send any GLP-1 prescription to the pharmacy you pick. It sells no medication.
Review by Craig Palmer, peptide pharmacology writer · Updated October 2026
The short version
Push Health is closer to a switchboard than a clinic: it routes your written request to an independent clinician and routes any prescription to your pharmacy. That suits someone who already knows which GLP-1 they want and how they will pay for it. It suits less well anyone who wants to know in advance who will prescribe, what the review will cost, or what ongoing care looks like.

Push Health, Inc. is a California company based in El Segundo, running a telehealth platform since 2013 for minor care and prescription requests. Its weight-loss pages name Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Saxenda, Victoza and the Foundayo tablet as drugs a clinician may prescribe when appropriate. Push Health does not ship or sell any of them, and its FAQ is direct about it: it is not a pharmacy. A prescription goes to a pharmacy you choose, or for Zepbound vials to Lilly's direct program.
What Push Health prescribes, by goal
Weight
- SemaglutideFDA-approved
Listed by the seller; no price we hold.
- TirzepatideFDA-approved
Listed by the seller; no price we hold.
- LiraglutideFDA-approved
Listed by the seller; no price we hold.
- OrforglipronFDA-approved
Listed by the seller; no price we hold.
Every option named is an FDA-approved brand: tirzepatide as Zepbound or Mounjaro, semaglutide as Wegovy, Ozempic or Rybelsus, liraglutide as Saxenda or Victoza, and orforglipron as Foundayo. Nothing compounded is offered, and because the drug is bought from a pharmacy, what you pay depends on that pharmacy, your insurance or a manufacturer program rather than on Push Health. The drug pages give rough pharmacy cash prices as background, but these describe what pharmacies charge, not anything Push Health bills you for.
Each “From” figure is the seller’s own starting price, in the unit the seller states. Where a required fee or a package length changes what one month costs, the smaller line under it is our arithmetic, not a figure the seller prints. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved.
Who prescribes
A licensed clinician
The site names no prescriber for weight care. Its FAQ says patients connect with independent, licensed doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who use the software, and its terms say Push Health is not a healthcare provider and does not direct their care. The request form says only that a licensed medical provider in your area will review your information. No medical group is named, and the one physician on the about page is the co-founder, Chirag Shah, MD, an emergency physician who is part of the management team rather than a listed prescriber.
You fill in a request form covering your pharmacy, contact details, medical problems, medications, allergies, height and weight. It then asks which medication, dose and quantity you want, followed by yes/no screening questions on thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, pregnancy and similar risks. A video visit is not mentioned anywhere in that flow, so the review rests on the questionnaire and any messages the clinician sends back. The FAQ says most providers review a request within 24 hours, and a clinician may come back to you through the platform if something needs clarifying, while controlled weight drugs such as phentermine and Qsymia cannot be prescribed at all.
Are labs required?
Optional, paid separately
Lab tests are possible but optional: if your clinician offers them, you can request Quest tests and pay for them at a price shown before you order. The FAQ lists the states where this works. No lab is required before a GLP-1 request is reviewed.

What it claims, and what it cites
The drug pages summarize trial results, for example the SURMOUNT trials for tirzepatide, giving percentages of weight lost over 72 to 88 weeks. They name the trials but link no publication, so a reader who wants the underlying data has to find the papers on their own. The platform's own claims are about access and price: same-day consults, most requests reviewed within 24 hours, and fees that are typically less than insurance co-pays. None comes with a figure or a source, and the FAQ also says it is certified by LegitScript, but the pages show no seal or verification link.

How it bills
No fee for a weight-loss request is published. The FAQ says fees run from $0 to a flat fee depending on the service, covering the clinician's professional fee and a processing fee, and that the cost is displayed before you pay. Payment is by card or PayPal, and the terms describe the service as cash-pay outside any federal or state health program, so nothing is billed to Medicare or Medicaid. The medication is paid at the pharmacy rather than through Push Health, and no subscription is required. If you cancel before a prescription is written, all fees are refunded; once a clinician has acted on the request, they are not.

The evidence behind what it sells
Right for
Someone who already knows the brand GLP-1 they want, has insurance or a manufacturer program to pay for it, and needs a prescription sent to their own pharmacy.
Look elsewhere if
Anyone who wants a named clinician, a weight program with regular check-ins, or a drug price before starting.

Frequently asked questions
- Who prescribes GLP-1s on Push Health?

- Does Push Health sell Zepbound or Wegovy?
- No, because it is not a pharmacy: a prescription is sent to the pharmacy you choose, or for Zepbound vials to Lilly's direct program, and you pay that pharmacy directly.
- Is there a video visit on Push Health?
- Not in the weight-loss request flow, where a clinician reviews your written answers and may message you through the platform with questions before deciding.
- Can I get a refund from Push Health?
- Yes, a full refund if you cancel before a prescription is written, but once a clinician has acted on your request the fees are not refunded.
