OneMedical (now owned by Amazon) provides a version of this that also connects you with a general practitioner doctor who you're able to see in your area. They additionally have telehealth-style prescription requests in the app, but you end up with the FDA approved version coming from Amazon pharmacy for $5/month (on top of the $200/year for OneMedical), or for $cheap at your regular pharmacy. A++ would recommend.

However, when I get referrals from OneMedical to specialists like eg sleep apnea, those 3rd party specialists usually have like 8 month waiting lists. So, back to Hims-style online-only providers for that sort of thing.

I also have one medical, (cheaper if you have Prime), but they don’t do ozempic/wegovy, so you’re still at the mercy of insurance, or paying out of pocket if you want GLP-1s.

They’re still a great option if you have other needs, like Prep or stimulants.
