Can you get GLP-1 weight loss medication in Tennessee?

Yes. Tennessee residents can get doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication through telehealth. Whether Tennessee 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 Tennessee reviews your medical assessment online and decides whether treatment is appropriate. Where Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 It Matters

Why GLP-1 telehealth matters in Tennessee

Tennessee is home to roughly 7.1 million people, and about 36.4% of Tennessee adults have obesity. Whether treatment is appropriate for any individual is a licensed physician's decision.

Whether you live in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville or anywhere else in Tennessee, you can start with an online medical assessment once we open, and a physician licensed in Tennessee reviews it and decides whether telehealth treatment is right for you.

Tennessee telehealth rules: Under the Board of Medical Examiners' rule 0880-02-.16, a physician licensed by that Board may establish a physician-patient relationship by telemedicine without a prior in-person encounter, using secure video or store-and-forward technology under the rule's identity, information and disclosure conditions; if the information is not enough to form an opinion, the physician must request an examination, more data or a local evaluation. Whether any medication is appropriate is the treating physician's decision.

Before you start an assessment with any program in Tennessee, check five things.

Who prescribes. Ask for the prescriber's full name and credential, then check the license with the Tennessee Department of Health's license verification in the verified facts. For medical doctors, the Board of Medical Examiners' rule 0880-02-.16 says no one may practice medicine on a patient in Tennessee, in person or remotely, unless licensed by that Board, and the Board no longer issues a separate telemedicine license. For any other credential, including a doctor of osteopathic medicine's, ask which Tennessee board issued it.

How you will be evaluated. For a physician licensed by that Board, the rule says a physician-patient relationship can exist without a prior in-person encounter. When no one is with you, you must use technology good enough for the physician to verify your identity and location and send your relevant health information by secure video or store-and-forward technology, and the physician must tell you their name, practice location, medical degree and any recognized specialty.

If what reaches the physician is not enough to form an opinion, the physician must say so and request an in-person examination, more information, or an evaluation by your own doctor or another local provider. The Board's prescribing rule also treats prescribing based only on answers to a set of questions, without meeting its other requirements, as a violation. 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 check its license with the same Department of Health license verification. 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, and from what your visit must include; the third question below explains the difference. The verified facts show TennCare'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

How it works in Tennessee

  1. 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. 2

    A real TN-licensed doctor reviews your file

    Not an AI, not a form bot. Once we open, a physician licensed in Tennessee reads your full assessment and decides whether GLP-1 is right for you. Where Tennessee 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.

  3. 3

    Your medication ships discreetly to your Tennessee address

    Compounded medication is dispensed by a state-licensed pharmacy in plain packaging, covering every Tennessee address, from Nashville and Memphis to rural ZIP codes, once we open.

  4. 4

    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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about GLP-1 in Tennessee

Does a doctor need a Tennessee license to treat me by telehealth if I live in Tennessee?

Yes, for a medical doctor. The Board of Medical Examiners' rule 0880-02-.16 says no person may practice medicine, in person or remotely, on a patient within the state of Tennessee unless licensed by the Board, and physicians contractually obligated to deliver medical services in Tennessee must be licensed here, whether or not they are paid directly. The rule's exemptions are narrow: out-of-state physicians called in for consultation by a Tennessee licensee, U.S. military physicians, uncompensated professional dialogue between physicians, and rare-disease specialists consulting to research hospitals. The Board no longer issues the separate telemedicine license it once did. For a doctor of osteopathic medicine or another clinician, ask which Tennessee board issued the license and check it in the Department of Health verification on this page.

Does Tennessee require an in-person exam before a telehealth doctor can prescribe a non-controlled medication?

Not as a general rule, but the evaluation has to be adequate. Rule 0880-02-.16(6) lets a physician licensed by the Board of Medical Examiners establish or maintain the physician-patient relationship by telemedicine, notwithstanding the general prescribing prerequisites in rule 0880-02-.14(7), when the patient's identity and location, the transmission of health information and the physician's disclosures meet its conditions. If the information is not enough to form an opinion, the physician must say so and request an in-person examination, more data, or an evaluation by the patient's primary physician or another local provider. Prescribing based only on answers to a set of questions, without meeting the prescribing rule's requirements, is treated as a violation (rule 0880-02-.14(7)(c)).

Is a health plan's telehealth coverage rule the same as the rules for my care in Tennessee?

No. What a health plan pays for, including any prior in-person visit or visit type it requires before it covers a telehealth visit, is a question about that plan's coverage. What the visit itself must include, for a medical doctor, comes from the Board of Medical Examiners' rule described above: identity and location checks, secure video or store-and-forward information, the physician's disclosures, and an evaluation adequate to form an opinion. Ask your plan about its coverage terms, and ask any telehealth program whether it bills insurance. Majesta Health does not bill insurance.

Can I get GLP-1 medication through telehealth in Tennessee?

Yes. Tennessee residents can be prescribed GLP-1 medications through telehealth where a licensed physician finds treatment appropriate. Through Majesta Health, once we open enrollment, a Tennessee-licensed physician reviews your assessment, and medication is dispensed by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped discreetly to your home.

How much does GLP-1 cost in Tennessee?

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. Each planned price includes physician consultation, compounded medication, discreet shipping, and care-team messaging. Enrollment is not open yet, so no plan can be purchased. Completing the free assessment joins the waitlist and does not submit a case for physician review. First-cycle and waitlist terms are on our pricing page.
