Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some solid alternatives for GLP-1/Wegovy prescriptions that are known for competitive pricing:
Telehealth Providers to Consider
Ro (Roman)
- Transparent pricing, often includes medication + provider visits bundled
- Good customer support and follow-up care
Hims & Hers
- Competitive monthly pricing
- Often runs promotions for new members
Henry Meds
- Known for lower costs, especially for compounded semaglutide
- Popular option for cost-conscious patients
LifeMD
- Offers GLP-1 prescriptions with ongoing provider support
Calibrate
- Focuses on metabolic health holistically, not just medication
Important Things to Compare
- Medication cost (brand vs. compounded semaglutide)
- Provider visit fees (some bundle, some charge separately)
- Insurance acceptance
- Compounded vs. brand name — compounded is significantly cheaper but has some regulatory considerations
Tips
- Check if your insurance covers Wegovy — that can dramatically reduce costs regardless of provider
- GoodRx or manufacturer savings cards (Novo Nordisk has one) may help with pharmacy costs
- Ask about compounded semaglutide as a budget-friendly alternative
