[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't do Calibrate because I have federal insurance. I am from the US but live overseas and can likely buy the meds myself for much less than in the US. Same for bloodwork.

Any suggestions for something similar?[/quote]

According to the website it's $135/month or $1600/year. Can you pay for it out-of-pocket?[/quote]

I would but they will not let you. I find it odd.[/quote]

Same. I don’t understand how my insurance can deny me something I never ask them to pay for. [/quote]

Calibrate charges your insurance for you to get that rate. It’s not the actual cost [/quote]

I offered to pay out of pocket the full rate. I don’t understand why my insurance is involved.  My obgyn doesn’t take insurance. I pay out of pocket. Why can I do that? [/quote]

If you’re paying OOP just get it from Walgreens for $1500/month. No reason to bother with Calibrate. [/quote]

But I still need a prescription from someone and my doctor won’t do it. [/quote]

Go to Randy Moss with Push Health. [/quote]

Have also heard good things about  Alpha Medical.[/quote]

Has anyone here tried Alpha Medical? I'm so frustrated. I'm with One Medical and went to my doctor in OCTOBER (2021) about trying Wegovy or Ozempic. I'd gained 45 lbs from 2020 to 2021. She wanted me to meet with a nutritionist, a doctor specializing in weight loss, and a mental health provider. Did all of that and also gained an additional 20 pounds. We had a virtual follow-up in March but she wants me to come in again to discuss options. I thought that's what we did in October and March?![/quote]
