Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in Florida: How to Access GLP-1 Treatment Online
Florida is home to more than 22 million people, and weight management is a significant public health challenge across the state. According to the Trust for America's Health State of Obesity 2025 report, which analyzes 2024 BRFSS data, 29.6% of Florida adults have obesity.1 That translates to millions of Floridians who may benefit from evidence-based treatment.
Access to care is a meaningful barrier in Florida. The state has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country: according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey, 10.7% of Florida residents are uninsured — well above the national average of 7.9%.2 Florida is also one of the states that has not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which limits coverage options for many working-age adults.
For Florida residents who want access to compounded GLP-1 medications without navigating insurance hurdles or in-person clinic visits, online telehealth programs like Fig offer a direct path forward.
Can I Get Compounded GLP-1 Medication in Florida?
Yes. Fig is a telehealth platform that serves all 50 states, including Florida. Because Fig operates entirely online, residents in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Largo, and every city and rural county across the state can complete the eligibility process from home.
There is no in-person visit required. You complete a free online health assessment, a licensed medical provider reviews your information, and if treatment is determined to be clinically appropriate, a prescription is issued and medication is shipped directly to your door at no additional shipping cost.
What Does Fig Offer Florida Residents?
Fig offers access to two compounded GLP-1 medications when prescribed by a licensed provider: compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. Both are prepared by state-licensed, FDA-registered 503A compounding pharmacies in the United States.
Pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. There is no membership fee, no consultation fee, and no shipping charge added at checkout.
Medication Monthly Plan 3-Month Plan 6-Month Plan Compounded Semaglutide $179/mo $160/mo $145/mo Compounded Tirzepatide $279/mo $249/mo $233/mo
For comparison, many competing telehealth platforms charge a mandatory monthly membership fee of $100 to $149 on top of medication costs. Fig charges zero membership fees. The price shown is the price paid.
How the Fig Process Works in Florida
The process is fully online and designed to be straightforward:
Complete Fig's free online health assessment, which covers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals.
A licensed medical provider reviews your information to determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate.
If a prescription is issued, pricing is shown transparently before any payment is required.
If you proceed, your medication and supplies are shipped discreetly to your Florida address, with no additional shipping cost.
Ongoing support is included throughout your treatment experience.
Because the process is asynchronous, there are no scheduled video calls or appointment windows to work around. Florida residents can complete the intake at any time.
Does Insurance Cover GLP-1 Medication in Florida?
Most private insurance plans and Florida Medicaid do not cover compounded GLP-1 medications. Even brand-name GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy face significant coverage hurdles, with many insurers requiring prior authorization or excluding weight loss indications entirely. Florida's decision not to expand Medicaid further limits coverage options for many residents.
Fig does not require insurance to begin. The eligibility process is open to any Florida resident who meets the clinical criteria, regardless of insurance status.
FSA and HSA funds may be eligible for use toward Fig's plans. Compounded GLP-1 medications prescribed for a diagnosed medical condition generally qualify as a medical expense under IRS guidelines. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fig ship to all parts of Florida?
Yes. Fig ships to all Florida addresses, including the Miami metro area, Tampa Bay, Central Florida, the Panhandle, and rural counties throughout the state.
Do I need a Florida doctor to use Fig?
No. Fig's network of licensed providers can evaluate and prescribe for Florida residents through the telehealth platform. You do not need an existing relationship with a Florida-based physician.
Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
No. Compounded semaglutide is not the same as, nor a substitute for, FDA-approved semaglutide products such as Ozempic or Wegovy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Can I use my FSA or HSA card to pay for Fig?
In most cases, yes. Because Fig's pricing is all-inclusive with no separate membership fee, the full cost is typically eligible as a qualified medical expense. Confirm with your FSA or HSA administrator.
Can I cancel my Fig plan anytime?
Yes. Fig offers month-to-month options and patients can cancel anytime, subject to any active orders already in processing.
