Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some solid alternatives for GLP-1 weight loss medication providers:
Telehealth Platforms
- Ro (ro.co) - Well-established, transparent pricing, often includes coaching support
- Hims & Hers - Competitive pricing, offers compounded semaglutide options
- Calibrate - Focuses on metabolic health holistically alongside medication
- Found - Good for ongoing support and multiple medication options
- Noom Med - Combines their behavioral program with prescription access
Compounded Semaglutide (Lower Cost)
- LifeMD - Offers compounded versions at significantly lower prices
- Henry Meds - Known for affordable compounded GLP-1 options
- Sesame - Marketplace to find affordable providers directly
Tips for Switching
- Check your insurance - Some plans now cover Wegovy, which changes the math significantly
- Ask about manufacturer coupons - Novo Nordisk has a savings program
- Compare compounded vs. brand name - Compounded semaglutide can be much cheaper but has tradeoffs
Important Note
Since the FDA recently ended the semaglutide shortage designation, availability of legal compounded semaglutide is changing rapidly, so verify current options before committing.
