SEATTLE — today announced the nationwide launch of its comprehensive GLP-1 management program that integrates medication access options including through  with personalized primary care—combining GLP-1 medications, when clinically appropriate, with ongoing medical expertise to help patients achieve sustainable, healthy weight loss.

The program uniquely integrates GLP-1 management into patients' broader primary care relationship, proactively managing how weight loss intersects with cardiovascular health, metabolic conditions, and overall health. Patients benefit from a fully integrated care journey: pre-visit screening, structured consultations, regular follow-up visits with integrated monitoring, standardized documentation, and evidence-based treatment algorithms with built-in safety protocols. As patients lose weight, One Medical clinicians adjust medications for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes when appropriate.

The program also seamlessly integrates with Amazon Pharmacy to share upfront, transparent medication costs, providing fast, convenient prescription delivery to all 50 states including Washington D.C., if a patient chooses. Amazon Pharmacy also offers Same-Day Delivery in nearly 3,000 cities and towns today, expanding to nearly 4,500 by the end of 2026.

"Obesity affects more than 40% of U.S. adults, and while advances such as GLP-1-based therapies are helping to address this chronic condition, without long-term care and clinical guidance, patients can experience negative impacts to their overall health and sometimes not achieve optimal outcomes," said Hemalee Patel, DO, Senior Medical Director of Cardiometabolic Health, One Medical. "Our program is designed to address these pitfalls. We integrate GLP-1 management into primary care, tailoring treatment to each patient's full health picture and providing the ongoing support that drives real, sustainable results."

Now available nationwide where One Medical has offices, the program offers in-person and remote visits, in-office labs for GLP-1 screening, and healthcare professionals who help with holistic weight loss plans and comorbidities. For example, if a patient is managing hypertension and diabetes, their clinician can adjust their weight management plan considering how GLP-1s may affect blood pressure medication and how it can improve their A1C levels.

One Medical scaled this comprehensive GLP-1 management program in response to rising patient demand and the need for dedicated, long-term obesity treatment. The program takes a team-based approach with primary care clinicians to treat obesity as the chronic condition it is—requiring continuous care and long-term medical supervision. One Medical also developed an electronic model to streamline the insurance prior authorization process for GLP-1 medications, reducing average approval time and helping patients begin their treatment more quickly.

"Amazon Pharmacy is excited to integrate with Amazon One Medical’s new weight management program to provide patients with a seamless pharmacy experience with upfront, transparent medication pricing and fast prescription delivery, so patients can take and stay on their medications,” said Tanvi Patel, Vice President and General Manager of Amazon Pharmacy. "While it’s ultimately up to patients to choose the pharmacy they prefer, we have maintained a track record of dispensing GLP-1 medications since 2021, and will continue to expand access to new and emerging weight management medications including Eli Lilly and Company's Zepbound auto-injector and KwikPen, its new Foundayo pill, and Novo Nordisk's Wegovy® pill and injectables."

One Medical clinicians work with patients to send prescriptions to the pharmacy of their choice. For patients who choose Amazon Pharmacy, the integration provides upfront, transparent medication costs, even before booking an appointment, along with same- and next-day prescription delivery.

Amazon Pharmacy also offers 24/7 access to licensed and trained pharmacists and helps customers save on their medications by automatically applying certain manufacturer-sponsored coupons to eligible customers at checkout. To date, customers have saved more than $200 million through the automatic coupon program, with GLP-1 medications representing the largest category of savings.

Patients can also discover and access the GLP-1 management program and pharmacy delivery through Amazon's Health AI assistant on Amazon.com and the Amazon app. Health AI helps patients navigate a range of health services, answer health questions, and connect directly to One Medical clinicians for personalized care—making it easier to start their weight management journey.

For individuals already taking GLP-1 medications who are not Amazon One Medical primary care patients, there are on-demand care prescription renewal services available, ensuring treatment continuity with appropriate medical oversight.
