No. VevaMD is a technology and marketing company, not a medical provider. Licensed clinicians in the Beluga Health network review your information and make every medical decision, and a licensed US pharmacy prepares any medication they prescribe.
This matters because you should always know who is responsible for your care. Here is how the roles are split, and what that means for you day to day.
What is VevaMD, then?
VevaMD Inc is an Idaho corporation founded in 2026 by Eric Vevang. We build and run the parts of the experience that are not medical care:
- The free online assessment where you share your health history.
- Your private My VevaMD page, where you can message your clinician, see shipping updates, get dose reminders and log your weight.
- Customer support by phone and email.
- Education, like this guide, so you can make informed choices.
We do not examine patients, diagnose conditions, write prescriptions, or compound medication. You can read how we fit together in about VevaMD.
Who is my medical provider?
Your provider is a licensed clinician in the Beluga Health network (Beluga Health, P.A.). They must be licensed in the state where you are being treated. After you finish the assessment, your clinician reviews it and decides whether a GLP-1 medicine is appropriate for you.
They may follow up by message or video if they need more detail. They pick the medication and the dose, though you can tell them whether you prefer semaglutide or tirzepatide. They also screen for things that would make a GLP-1 a poor fit, such as pregnancy, a history of pancreatitis, or a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2. A prescription is never guaranteed.

Who makes the medication?
If your clinician prescribes, a licensed US pharmacy prepares compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide for you and ships it to your home. The FDA does not approve compounded drugs or review them before they are sold, and compounded versions are not generic copies of brand-name drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound. Our compounded medications disclosure covers what that means.
Why is it set up this way?
Keeping medical decisions with independent licensed clinicians protects you. The person deciding whether you should take a medicine is someone trained and licensed to make that call, who can say no. VevaMD focuses on making the process simple and easy to reach, while the clinician focuses on your health.
It also keeps the roles honest. A company that both sells a product and decides who gets it has a conflict. Here, the clinician's job is your health, and saying no is always an option.
It also means you can check the people involved. Your clinician holds a state license, and your medication arrives with a label from a licensed pharmacy. If you want a checklist for judging any online GLP-1 company, read is VevaMD legit?
What happens after I finish the assessment?
Here is the path, and who is responsible at each step:
- You complete the free online assessment: health history, medications, height and weight. It takes a few minutes.
- A licensed clinician in your state reviews it and may reach out with questions.
- The clinician decides whether to prescribe, and which medication and dose.
- A licensed US pharmacy prepares the medication and ships it to your home.
- Your clinician checks in before refills and dose changes, and you can message them through your My VevaMD page.
VevaMD's part is the technology that connects those steps and the people who help you with your account along the way.
What does this mean when I have a question?
- Medical questions such as side effects, dose changes, or whether to keep going: message your clinician through your My VevaMD page. They are the right person to answer.
- Account, shipping or billing questions: contact VevaMD at +1 (888) 275-1703 or info@vevamd.com.
- Emergencies: call 911. Do not wait for a message reply.
Before refills and dose changes, your clinician checks in with you. That ongoing review is part of your care, not a formality.
What does it cost, and who is it for?
The assessment is free. If you are prescribed, care is cash-pay, from $199/mo, the same price in all 50 states and Washington, DC. VevaMD does not bill insurance. Adults 18 to 80 may be eligible; first-time GLP-1 patients generally need a BMI of 25 or higher, and diabetes is not required. Your clinician makes the final call.
Next step
If you are ready to see whether a GLP-1 might fit you, take the free assessment. A licensed clinician in your state will review it.
