Can you get GLP-1 weight loss medication in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama residents can get doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication through telehealth. Whether Alabama rules require an in-person visit before a telehealth prescription depends on conditions. See the rule and its source. Through Majesta Health, once we open, a physician licensed in Alabama reviews your medical assessment online and decides whether treatment is appropriate. Where Alabama telehealth rules require it, or where the physician decides it is needed, your evaluation includes a phone or video visit before any prescription. If you qualify, compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide is prescribed and shipped discreetly to your Alabama address from a state-licensed pharmacy. Planned regular ongoing prices start at $299 per 30-day cycle, but enrollment is not open yet. Completing the free assessment joins the waitlist and does not submit a case for physician review. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as final products, and results may vary.

Why GLP-1 telehealth matters in Alabama
Alabama is home to roughly 5.1 million people, and about 39.0% of Alabama adults have obesity. Whether treatment is appropriate for any individual is a licensed physician's decision.
Whether you live in Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile or anywhere else in Alabama, you can start with an online medical assessment once we open, and a physician licensed in Alabama reviews it and decides whether telehealth treatment is right for you.
Alabama telehealth rules: A physician who treats a patient in Alabama by telehealth must hold a full and active Alabama license, with narrow exceptions, and care may begin without a prior in-person exam when the patient starts it or a treating physician refers them, under the statute's identity, location, disclosure, consent and follow-up conditions (Code of Alabama, sections 34-24-702 and 34-24-703). Whether any medication is appropriate is the treating physician's decision.
Before you start an assessment with any program in Alabama, check five things.
Who prescribes. Ask for the prescriber's full name and credential, then check the license with the board that issues it. For a physician (M.D. or D.O.) or a physician assistant, use the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and Medical Licensure Commission search in the verified facts; for any other credential, ask which Alabama board issued it and check there.
Alabama ties the license to where you are, not where the physician sits: a physician treating you by telehealth while you are in Alabama needs a full and active Alabama license, as the Board of Medical Examiners' telemedicine summary explains, with the narrow exceptions in the first question below. For other states, see our guide to which states allow telehealth across state lines.
How your care can start. Care can begin online without a prior in-person exam when you start it yourself or a physician who already treats you refers you (section 34-24-703(d) of the Code of Alabama, as enacted by Act 2022-302). Before the visit, expect the physician, to the extent possible, to confirm your identity, ask where you are, including the city and state, tell you who they are and their credentials, and record your consent to telehealth.
Online care for an unresolved condition is not open-ended: the third question below explains when Alabama requires an in-person visit or a referral. Ask how the program handles follow-up and when it would ask to see you. To get ready, see how to prepare for your first telehealth visit.
Which pharmacy dispenses. Ask which pharmacy will fill and ship the prescription, then look it up in the Alabama Board of Pharmacy verification in the verified facts. When a prescription arrives, check the prescription label.
What the price covers. Ask what a quoted price includes (the clinician's evaluation, the medication, shipping and follow-up care), when the first charge happens, and how renewal and cancellation work; these questions to ask before paying cover the rest. Majesta's plans, and what each one includes, are in the cost question below, and How it works explains when Majesta charges.
How coverage fits in. Coverage is a separate question from price. The verified facts show Alabama Medicaid's listing for GLP-1 medications for weight management, with the date of its source; for any other plan, ask about the exact medication and the reason it is prescribed. Majesta Health does not bill insurance.

How it works in Alabama
- 1
Start your 2-minute assessment
A short health questionnaire about your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals. We screen for the contraindications that matter, including thyroid history, pancreatitis, and gallbladder issues. There is no charge to start the assessment. If you enroll, nothing is charged at checkout: your first month's price is charged only after the physician reviews your file and approves treatment, and it includes a $20 medical consultation fee paid through to the licensed physician. If the physician does not approve treatment, you are not charged.
- 2
A real AL-licensed doctor reviews your file
Not an AI, not a form bot. Once we open, a physician licensed in Alabama reads your full assessment and decides whether GLP-1 is right for you. Where Alabama telehealth rules require it, or where the physician decides it is needed, your evaluation includes a phone or video visit before any prescription. If it's not right for you, they'll tell you that, too, honestly.

Your medication ships discreetly to your Alabama address
Compounded medication is dispensed by a state-licensed pharmacy in plain packaging, covering every Alabama address, from Birmingham and Montgomery to rural ZIP codes, once we open.

Message your doctor anytime
Side effect questions, dose adjustments, food and lifestyle questions, they're all included. The program is designed so you always have the same doctor.
Frequently asked questions about GLP-1 in Alabama
Does an online doctor treating me in Alabama need an Alabama license?
Yes, for a physician, with narrow exceptions. Section 34-24-702 of the Code of Alabama requires a physician providing telehealth medical services to anyone in Alabama to hold a full and active license to practice medicine or osteopathy issued by the Medical Licensure Commission, and section 34-24-703(c) treats the service as happening where you are. The Board of Medical Examiners' current summary lists the exceptions for a physician licensed in another state or D.C.: services on an irregular or infrequent basis (fewer than ten days or fewer than ten patients in a calendar year), consultation with an Alabama-licensed physician limited to ten days in a calendar year, and necessary medical care for a patient being transported into Alabama.
Can my care start online, or does Alabama require an in-person exam first?
It can start online. Section 34-24-703(d) says the physician-patient relationship may be formed without a prior in-person examination, as long as you initiate the care yourself or are referred by a physician you already see. Before the visit, Section 34-24-703(e) requires the physician, to the extent possible, to verify your identity, ask for your physical location including city and state, disclose the physician's identity and credentials, and document your consent to telehealth in your medical record.
Can all of my visits stay online indefinitely?
Not always. Under section 34-24-703(f), if a physician or practice group treats the same patient by telehealth more than four times in a 12-month period for the same medical condition without resolution, the physician must either see the patient in person, or refer the patient to a physician who can, within a reasonable time not exceeding 12 months. A video visit with the in-person assistance, at your location, of a person licensed by the Board of Medical Examiners or the Board of Nursing counts as an in-person visit for this rule. The requirement does not apply to mental health services as defined in Ala. Code section 22-50-1, or to a physician in active consultation with another physician who is providing in-person care to the patient.
Can I get GLP-1 medication through telehealth in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama residents can be prescribed GLP-1 medications through telehealth where a licensed physician finds treatment appropriate. Through Majesta Health, once we open enrollment, a Alabama-licensed physician reviews your assessment, and medication is dispensed by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped discreetly to your home.

At Majesta Health, Essential (compounded semaglutide injection) has a planned regular ongoing price of $299 per 30-day cycle. Performance (compounded tirzepatide injection) has a planned regular ongoing price of $439 per 30-day cycle.

How fast can I get started in Alabama?

Is GLP-1 telehealth legal in Alabama?
A physician who treats a patient in Alabama by telehealth must hold a full and active Alabama license, with narrow exceptions, and care may begin without a prior in-person exam when the patient starts it or a treating physician refers them, under the statute's identity, location, disclosure, consent and follow-up conditions (Code of Alabama, sections 34-24-702 and 34-24-703). Whether any medication is appropriate is the treating physician's decision.
