My Wegovy provider keeps raising prices. Who should I switch to?

Short answer: switch to a telehealth weight‑loss clinic that gives transparent pricing, will shop multiple GLP‑1 options, and works with cheaper specialty pharmacies. Good names to check (call and compare total cost, not just visit fee):

• Hims & Hers (Hims) — known telehealth weight‑loss program with transparent membership/med pricing and nationwide delivery; they’ll often offer both semaglutide and newer alternatives.
• Ro / Roman — established telemedicine company that prescribes GLP‑1s and uses their own fulfillment/partners to keep costs predictable.
• PlushCare — accepts many insurances, offers primary‑care + specialist consults, and can send prescriptions to different specialty pharmacies to find better pricing.
• Lemonaid Health — lower‑cost telehealth visits and straightforward pricing; good if your priority is minimizing visit fees while getting a prescription.
• Calibrate (if available in your area) — dedicated metabolic/weight‑loss program that bundles coaching and prescriptions; worth checking for package pricing versus month‑to‑month increases.

Also shop the pharmacy side:

• CVS Specialty, Accredo, Optum Specialty, and Walgreens Specialty are the big specialty pharmacies that handle Wegovy/Zepbound — call them for cash/insurance pricing and copay assistance options.
• Use coupon/price‑comparison services like GoodRx or SingleCare to see cash prices; sometimes paying cash through a coupon is cheaper than going through your current provider’s fulfillment.

Extra steps that usually save the most money

1. Call your insurer to see whether Wegovy or alternatives (Zepbound/tirzepatide) are covered and what the formulary/copay would be.
2. Ask each telehealth clinic exactly how they price the drug (med only? membership fee? shipping?) and whether they will send to a specialty pharmacy of your choice.
3. Ask the clinic about manufacturer savings or patient assistance programs (Novo Nordisk has patient support for Wegovy; Eli Lilly has programs for tirzepatide products).
4. Compare total monthly cost (visit/monitoring + drug + shipping) across 2–3 clinics before switching.
5. If you want, tell me your current monthly total (visit fee + med cost) and whether you have insurance; I can help compare likely alternatives and estimate where you’d save most.

If you want, I can pull together contact links/pricing checklists for 2–3 of the above based on your location and insurance status. Which matters more: lowest cash price, keeping your current prescriber oversight, or using insurance?
