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

Do you mean the telehealth/clinic that prescribes your Wegovy? If so, here are reputable alternatives to consider — short reasons why each might be a better fit — plus quick steps to compare them.

Providers/services to consider

• Calibrate — structured medical + coaching program focused on weight loss. Good if you want regular, programmatic support and predictable pricing for visits and monitoring.
• Hims/Hers — large telehealth company that offers GLP‑1 treatment options and tends to have lower visit fees and simple subscription pricing.
• Lemonaid Health — transparent, lower-cost telehealth visits and straightforward pricing; useful if you want simple access without a big program fee.
• PlushCare — established telemedicine provider that can integrate with insurance for visits and offers ongoing primary-care-style follow-up.
• SteadyMD — assigns you one dedicated physician for continuity of care; good if you want longer-term, single-provider management.
• Local obesity-medicine clinic or endocrinologist (look on the Obesity Medicine Association or your state medical board) — best if you have medical comorbidities, need lab monitoring, or want in-person care.

Ways to lower total cost (ask any new provider about these)

• Ask about the manufacturer savings card/patient-assistance (Novo Nordisk for Wegovy) and whether you’re eligible.
• Check pharmacy pricing through specialty pharmacies, Costco, or tools like GoodRx/SingleCare (availability varies for specialty meds).
• Ask the provider about alternatives (e.g., different GLP‑1s like tirzepatide/Zepbound or semaglutide formulations) and their relative costs and coverage — only with proper medical supervision.
• See whether the provider handles prior authorization appeals with your insurer (this can reduce your out‑of‑pocket).

How to compare quickly

1. Call or check each service for: visit fee, monthly medication cost (or how they fill it), follow-up frequency, lab/monitoring included, cancellation policy, and whether they help with savings/insurance.
2. Verify the provider is licensed in your state and offers the monitoring you need.
3. If you have complex medical history, prioritize an obesity-medicine specialist or endocrinologist.

If you want, tell me: (a) whether you want a low-cost telehealth option vs. a structured program, and (b) your state — I can narrow this list to 2–3 best matches and include links and approximate prices based on current publicly listed plans.
