Important Considerations When Choosing a Service:

• Cost & Insurance: Zepbound is an expensive medication. Most services will help you explore insurance coverage, manufacturer savings cards, or cash pay options. Understand the program fees for the telehealth service itself, as well as the cost of the medication.
• Program Structure: Some services offer comprehensive programs with coaching and ongoing support, while others are more focused on just the prescription and medical monitoring. Decide what level of support you need.
• State Availability: Ensure the service is licensed to operate in your state.

Always start with an initial consultation to determine if Zepbound is right for you and if the telehealth service aligns with your needs and budget.
