Providers that work your insurance
Prior authorisations, appeals and coverage checks. For anyone whose plan might say yes, this is worth more than any discount.
Updated 2026-09-18
If your insurer covers a GLP-1, that coverage is worth more than every price comparison on this site put together. These are the programmes that will actually chase it.
The catch is that their fees only make sense if the claim lands. A programme charging $149 a month for insurance advocacy is excellent value if it secures coverage and poor value if it does not — so the first step is finding out what your plan actually does.

1. Mochi Health — Insurance concierge support
$178 a month, including the $79 fee. Telehealth weight-care clinic with a membership model, an insurance concierge team, and compounded medication offered alongside covered branded prescriptions.
Labs are billed separately. Ask what the clinic expects to order before you sign up. Read the full Mochi Health review.
2. Ro — Branded medication with insurance help
$448 a month, including the $149 fee. Membership-first telehealth service. Ro exited compounded GLP-1s and now routes patients to FDA-approved branded medication, billed separately from the membership.
The membership and the medication are two separate bills. A $39 first month does not mean a $39 prescription. Read the full Ro review.
3. Zealthy — Low-cost entry with insurance routing
$151 a month, no membership fee. Broad telehealth platform with a weight programme that offers both compounded medication and insurance-billed branded prescriptions.
The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide. Read the full Zealthy review.
4. LifeMD — Insurance coordination
$149 a month, no membership fee. Physician-led telehealth group with a weight-management programme built around insurance coordination and branded prescriptions.
If your insurer declines, the $149/month programme fee still applies and the medication is extra. Read the full LifeMD review.
Frequently asked
How do I find out if my plan covers a GLP-1?
Call the number on your insurance card and ask whether Wegovy or Zepbound is on formulary and what it requires. Twenty minutes on the phone is the highest-value thing you can do before buying anything.
What does coverage actually save?
Potentially an enormous amount. Covered patient costs can fall to a fraction of cash pricing, and from July 2026 eligible Medicare beneficiaries may access certain GLP-1s for $50 a month.
What the price does not tell you
A reminder of category: everything priced under roughly $300 here is a compounded preparation the FDA has not reviewed. Two approved oral products now start at $149, and the Medicare programme begins 1 July 2026.
In STEP-1, adults on 2.4 mg lost an average of about 14.9% of body weight over 68 weeks. That figure comes from a controlled trial of the active ingredient, not from any particular seller's product.
