Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some solid alternatives for GLP-1/Wegovy prescribing services:
Telehealth Platforms:
- Hims & Hers - Competitive pricing, often offers compounded semaglutide at lower costs
- Ro (Body Program) - Transparent pricing, includes coaching support
- Found - Focuses on obesity medicine, good ongoing support
- Noom Med - Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Sesame - Lets you compare provider prices directly, often cheaper
For Cost Savings Specifically:
- Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's) - Check if your medication is listed
- GoodRx - Compare pharmacy prices in your area
- Novo Nordisk's patient assistance program - If you qualify based on income
Things to Consider:
- Some platforms offer compounded semaglutide which is significantly cheaper (though the FDA has raised some quality concerns)
- Check if your insurance covers it through a different prescriber
- Local obesity medicine specialists sometimes have better manufacturer discount programs
My top pick for price transparency: Sesame or Ro, as they tend to be upfront about costs.
I'd recommend comparing 2-3 options since pricing changes frequently. Would you like more detail on any of these?
