Online healthcare,
on your own time.

We welcome every individual to access our platform and to receive personalized, high-quality healthcare they deserve. Our providers are specially trained in women’s health and sex differences, but can also treat men and individuals assigned male at birth for most conditions. Our weight loss services are available to individuals 18 and above, subject to state law.

We’re not able to accept insurance for medical fees or membership fees, but some pharmacies may accept your health insurance for medication. We’ll ask for your insurance information during your online visit.

Every insurance plan is different. If you want to use insurance benefits for a prescription, check your insurance plan’s formulary to learn about what medications are included in your plan. However, some medications are only covered for certain conditions or with certain requirements.

Even if a medication is covered by your insurance plan, you may still have a copay. Your insurance company may have lower copay pricing at different pharmacies. To learn more about your coverage, call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:

- Do you cover medications for my condition?

- Which medications do you cover?

- Will I have a copay?

- Is prior authorization required for any of these medications?

- What are the requirements to receive a prior authorization?

- Is there a preferred pharmacy for my insurance plan?

- If you want to use insurance benefits for a weight loss medication, ask your insurance company the following questions:

- Do you cover weight loss medications?

- If so, which medications do you cover?

- Do you cover these medications only if I have a weight-related diagnosis such as type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol?

- Are there certain medications patients have to be prescribed before others will be covered? (This is often called step therapy.)

- Will I have a copay?

- Is prior authorization required for weight loss medications?

- What are the requirements to receive a prior authorization?

- Is there a preferred pharmacy for my insurance plan?

- Your insurance may require a prior authorization in order to cover the cost of a medication.

Please note: Currently, Medicare, Medicaid, and other state- or federally-funded plans cannot be used for any prescription written by an Alpha provider. If you have one of these plans, you will have to pay the cash price for medication, if your plan allows.
