Losing coverage for the medicine doesn’t mean losing your physician. Here’s how people keep going.
Your visits with an obesity medicine physician are billed to your insurance, and you pay any copay. We check your coverage before your first visit.
Novo Nordisk and Lilly sell Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo directly at cash prices. Your physician sends the prescription and helps you weigh the price at the dose you’re likely to stay on.
One price covers compounded medicine, prepared for you by a state-licensed pharmacy, plus shipping, your consultations and messages with your care team. See the plans.
Coverage rules changed for 2027, and some plans still cover the medicine with new conditions. We’ll look at yours with you.
Some plans now ask for a prior authorization or a lifestyle program before they cover a GLP-1. Our guide to GLP-1 coverage in 2027 explains what changed and what to ask.
If brand-name medicine is right for you, we handle the prior authorization as a concierge service, including the appeal if your plan says no. We also help with manufacturer copay assistance.
If your commercial plan still covers the medicine, maker savings cards can bring the cost to as little as $25 a month, with savings caps. They aren’t available to people with government coverage.
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge costs $50 a month for people who qualify, from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027, and we prescribe through it. See Medicare and GLP-1 medication.

Yes. Your visits with your physician are billed to your insurance, and you pay any copay. You then buy brand-name medicine at the maker’s cash price. If you choose a self-pay plan instead, your consultations are part of the plan price.
As of November 2026, the Wegovy pill starts at $149 a month cash at the starting dose, and Zepbound vials on LillyDirect start at $299 for 4 vials (28 days) at 2.5 mg. For most of these medicines the price rises with the dose. Our GLP-1 cash price guide lists every dose.
One price for compounded medicine, shipping, your consultations and messages with your care team. Compounded semaglutide is $475 for 12 weeks or $200 every 4 weeks.

Your physician reviews your health history, your current dose and how you’ve been doing, then decides with you whether a change makes sense and how to make it safely. Compounded medicines are not the same as Wegovy or Zepbound, so it’s a medical decision, not just a price one.
Self-pay plans aren’t offered at 65 and over. If you have Medicare, your visits are billed to Medicare, and we prescribe through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge for people who qualify, at $50 a month from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. See Medicare and GLP-1 medication.
