I’m in charge now!

For a long time, I didn’t understand diabetes or what it meant to me. I just took medicine and lived my life. 9am has been a game changer in my life. I am learning what to do when to do it, and most importantly, how! For the first time ever, I feel in charge. Thank you! I will definitely recommend this program to all who cross my path!

9amHealth truly cares about you

They take all your individual issues and form a schedule to make it work for you. It is not a one-solution program. They customize it to fit your lifestyle and hold you accountable. And the people are amazing. My nutritionist has been on top of everything, making sure all tests and meds are what I need. Truly appreciate the entire staff.

Fantastic, actionable feedback and suggestions

I talked to the Registered Dietitian about a few scenarios, and she made a plan on the spot that I could easily follow and succeed with. A good brainstorming session that turned things into actionable behaviors gave me renewed energy and refreshed ideas for changing things up.

Professional, prompt, and real lifesavers

All my encounters with 9amHealth have been wonderful. They are professional, prompt, and always deliver on their Telemedicine services. I consider them to be true lifesavers!

GLP-1s are not for being “skinny”

It is important to understand that GLP-1 medications go hand in hand with diet and exercise and are not to be used as a way to be “skinny.” They should be used to be healthy, help with weight loss, and combat weight-related issues. Thanks for all of the support and encouragement!

A breath of fresh air

After relocating across the country to a state with many healthcare challenges, I found it difficult to manage the multiple conditions I have. I waited for appointments on long waiting lists. As a black woman, to be listened to, supported, and cared for is so very rare in healthcare.

A holistic approach to weight loss

I recently completed a six-month weight loss journey with 9am, and I am thrilled with the results. The comprehensive program, combined with the expert guidance of my consultant, Christian, helped me achieve my goals and transform my lifestyle. The 9am program is well integrated. They offer practical strategies and resources to help make sustainable lifestyle changes. The team's support and the wealth of information provided were key to my success.  I highly recommend 9am to anyone looking to achieve lasting health and wellness.

My experience with 9amHealth has been awesome

As a truck driver, it's difficult to make doctor's appointments. 9amHealth simplified the whole process of getting my medication when my doctor wouldn't fill the prescription unless I came to the office. And all he does is ask the same questions and write the prescription, which I then have to wait for at the pharmacy to receive. 9am health ships it right to your door. I will continue to use them from now on. Thank you so much!

9amHealth is a blessing

9amHealth has been a blessing to me because of my work hours and the difficulty of seeing a doctor.

Did not miss a day of work

I give 9amHealth 5 stars. I came across their web page looking for non-expensive health insurance, and I do not regret one bit applying for their services; they got me on schedule the same week to get my labs done, and they came to my job, for which I did not have to miss a day off work. I totally recommend them and will recommend them to friends and family. My life saver!

9amHealth member

Saves so much time!

I recommend using them if you don't like sitting at the doctor's office for hours waiting to get checked on and have a 5-minute face time with your doctor and get the prescription, then another hour of waiting to get the prescription filled.

Great Diabetes Care

When I started the program, I was completely out of medication, and it was very difficult to manage my diabetes. I couldn’t get an appointment with anyone in the area. With 9amHealth’s help, I could lower my blood sugar through simple exercises. This really helped me during the holidays. I could get my A1c tested, and it was so easy. It was good to talk to a real person and not a chatbot. I recently started reading the articles on what to eat for breakfast, which were very helpful.

I am currently taking a weight loss medication. What does this change mean to me?

SHBP will still cover all weight loss medications (including Wegovy and Zepbound). However, starting February 1, 2026, all weight loss prescriptions must be prescribed by a 9amHealth physician. Joining 9amHealth does not guarantee prescribing of weight loss medications. Your 9amHealth provider will recommend what is safe and effective for you. As of February 1, 2026, new prescriptions written by another provider will no longer be accepted. Members who have an existing prior approval for one of these medications can continue to fill their prescriptions with their current doctor until the prior authorization expires.

What does 9amHealth cost?

If you or your adult family member meets the clinical criteria, 9amHealth services are offered at no additional cost. Medications and/or lab tests will have out-of-pocket costs based on your chosen plan’s copays/coinsurance. You can use your HRA, FSA, or HSA benefits, where applicable. We’ll send you a free connected weight scale at no extra cost.

What is virtual care?

Virtual care means getting care from our team online and on your smartphone. We recommend downloading the 9amHealth app from your app store to access all features. You can also use a computer, laptop, or tablet. With 9amHealth, you get to say goodbye to waiting rooms. You can get medications, lab tests, and nutrition and fitness coaching–all from the comfort of your home.

What if I don’t have a smartphone or computer?

If you have access to a computer at work or at a library, you can use it to log into your 9amHealth account and check your messages. Calls with the Care Team can be completed by phone. We recommend checking your 9amHealth messages at least once a week to stay up-to-date with your care plan. SHBP members can call 9amHealth at 888-870-9542 for more information.

Which medications does 9amHealth prescribe?

We offer FDA-approved medications, which are covered under your health plan for weight loss, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Your Care Team will choose the treatment that works best for you based on your health and insurance.

Does 9amHealth replace my primary care doctor?

No. You should keep seeing your doctor. 9amHealth offers additional support for weight loss and related health conditions, including diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and will coordinate with your physician on their services. If you’d like us to work with your doctor, simply share their contact information during enrollment.

Will I need to complete lab tests to be eligible?

Your Care Team may recommend a lab test. We can help you find the nearest lab and schedule an appointment. We can also come to your home if available or send a lab kit. When your lab results come back, we’ll review them with you.
