Important Considerations Before You Choose:

• Eligibility: You must meet the medical criteria for Wegovy (typically a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition, or a BMI of 30 or higher).
• Insurance Coverage: Wegovy is very expensive without insurance. Most of these services will help you navigate insurance approval, but coverage varies widely. Be prepared for potential out-of-pocket costs.
• Program Costs: Beyond the medication itself, these services often have monthly or annual fees for clinician visits, coaching, and program access.
• Availability: Due to high demand, there have been intermittent shortages of Wegovy. Your chosen service will keep you updated on medication availability.
• Comprehensive Care: Evaluate whether you prefer a service that solely focuses on medication or one that offers a more holistic approach with dietitians, health coaches, and lifestyle support.

It's always recommended to visit the websites of these services, compare their programs and pricing, and read reviews to find the best fit for your needs.
