I’ve heard good things about PlushHealth

It’s good for the full 2024 year - up to 13 fills for insured patients without coverage for Zepbound.

NP. I’ve heard there is a coupon for Zepbound that brings it to around $500/mo. Anyone know how long the coupon lasts? If it’s just for one month I don’t want to bother

Ivim health was easy to use and has worked well for me.

Check out the reddit forums for compounded semaglutide. I don't post on reddit but I have read for my own information. They have recommendations there.

I use my primary doc so I don't have a rec.

When I signed up with Calibrate they convinced me they could do both of those things -- and they could do neither. I think I paid about 1800, and then had to fight them to get a refund when they did absolutely nothing for me (I finally got it when I reported them to the VA Attorney General's office).

Lots of companies out there doing it now, though. YMMV.

Calibrate is evil.

Revolution Medicine, including a prescription for compounded given the unavailability issues. $60/month for membership and visit copay. Friend who got compounded paid $350 for approx 6 weeks of medicine.

Weight Watchers Clinic, formerly Sequence

I used Sequence. Pretty easy, and they send the prescription to the pharmacy, where I used my insurance. I started with Sequence last year, back when Wegovy was still available. (Due to shortages I then tried Saxenda, but even that Rx became rare. Zepbound works for me much better than either of the other two GLP1s.)

I’m not OP but I’m waiting for a response from my doctor, whom I emailed this morning. The issue for me is that I’m not obese. My BMI is 27.8. I’ve lost 15 pounds with calorie counting (1200/day) and exercise over the course of about a year. And for the last 6 months I’ve plateaued. I’m 41 years old with 2 little kids and am 5’1” and weigh 146.7. I want to get down to 120. I hate thinking about food ALL the time and I don’t want to reduce my calories any further and at this point in my life, I don’t want to exercise more than I already am. If wegovy can help me - I want it! My cholesterol is also a bit high so I’m hoping that will help me qualify to get it with insurance. If not, then I’ll go to a local med spa and get the compounded versions.

Are you asking for the costs of an online dr to write you a script or are you trying to find out the cost of getting these medications?

I want to know this too, OP!

Looking to start this and am interested in where you went online and what the costs were.
