What to Expect
- Online questionnaire + medical review (usually 24-48 hours)
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Prescription sent to pharmacy or compounding pharmacy
- Cost: Typically $200-$500+/month depending on dose and source
Important Notes
- ⚠️ Brand-name Mounjaro/Zepbound requires prior authorization through insurance
- Many platforms offer compounded tirzepatide, which is lower cost but less regulated
- You'll need to disclose your medical history honestly
- Not appropriate for everyone (certain thyroid conditions, etc.)
Tip
Check if your insurance covers Zepbound first — it could save significant money through a traditional endocrinologist or primary care doctor.
