How many providers genuinely require a camera visit?

Fewer than the category's reputation suggests, and far fewer than we can prove. Of the 325 providers on this roster, 65 state in their own signup that no video appointment is needed and 6 state that one is. The rest never say — which is why this board ranks on a published, written intake rather than labeling anyone a video-visit provider on the strength of a low score.

Why do some providers hide the price until the intake is over?

Because a completed questionnaire is a lead, and a price on the homepage is a reason to leave. 59 of the 325 providers here withhold it until you finish; 194 put it on the page first. Neither is disqualifying and a withheld price is sometimes genuinely dose-dependent — but if you are comparing three providers on a Tuesday night, the one that makes you fill in a medical history to learn a number is charging you in time.

Is a written intake a real clinical review?

Yes. A licensed clinician reads what you submitted, approves or declines the prescription, and stays reachable afterward for side effects and dose changes. What you are removing is the mutually scheduled appointment, not the oversight — and a written history you wrote sitting down is frequently more complete than one you recite on camera while a toddler negotiates in the background.

What will the questionnaire want from me?

Expect identity and basics (a photo ID, current height and weight), a medical history including past weight-loss treatment and any thyroid or pancreatic history, everything you currently take including supplements, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive. Have the medication list written down before you start; it is the section people abandon the form in the middle of.

The intake door · Updated October 2026

Best GLP-1 with no video visit

Every provider here puts the same door in front of you, and two things about it decide whether it fits your week: whether a clinician needs you on camera, and whether the price is on the screen before you answer forty questions or only after. Across the 325 providers we score, 194 show what it costs before the intake and 59 make you finish first. This board ranks the 57 you can complete in writing, and prints both facts on every row.

The short answer

CoreAge Rx runs the most complete written intake on the roster — 95/100, no camera appointment at any step, and the price is on the page before you begin. Across the 57 ranked below, 35 show the price up front and 8 hold it until the questionnaire is done; the other 14 don't publish enough of the signup to say. A form you can fill in at 10 p.m. is worth much less if it ends on a number you could not have seen coming.

A closer look

CoreAge Rx

The shortlist pick: one flat price that doesn't climb as your dose does, both molecules on a single plan, and a nationwide async intake you can finish on a break.

Pricing: Flat. First dose: Same week.

See CoreAge Rx Read CoreAge Rx review

Willow

The async standout: no video visit, no quiz wall, prices posted in the open, and needle-free tablets alongside the injections — but the headline price is a starting dose, not a flat rate, and only 36 states are in.

Pricing: Scales with dose. First dose: About a week.

See Willow Read Willow review

Trimi Health

The price-first partner: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing we track, nationwide and async — strong if the monthly number is your deciding factor and you read the annual-prepay fine print.

Pricing: Flat. First dose: Days.
