What GLP-1 weight loss medication costs at Body Good depends on the route you choose. Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are one-time orders, priced by the pharmacy you choose plus the Body Good flat fee — you see both, and the total, before you pay. Oral GLP-1 runs about $109 to $129 a month, depending on how long a plan you commit to. If you have insurance, a separate navigation path may bring brand medication well below cash pricing — and you can check that for $25 before spending anything.
Every path, one table
No "starting at." Here is what each route actually costs.
| Item | First step | Ongoing |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded tirzepatide | Pharmacy price + Body Good flat fee (one-time) | Reorder one-time, priced the same way |
| Compounded semaglutide | Pharmacy price + Body Good flat fee (one-time) | Reorder one-time, priced the same way |
| Oral GLP-1 | $149 one-time | $109–$129/mo |
| Brand Rx (our service fee) | from $25 (6-mo plan) | medication billed via insurance/pharmacy |
| Insurance navigation | $25 eligibility check | $50 PA filing, then $75/mo |
Compounded orders are one-time: the pharmacy you choose sets its price for your dose, the Body Good flat fee is added, and you see both, and the total, before you pay. For oral plans, the longer the plan, the lower the monthly rate — because consistency, not churn, is what actually works.
My honest take
Most companies in this space won't show you a price until you've handed over your email and sat through a call. Treat that as information: if the number were friendly, they'd lead with it. We lead with it. The cheapest path for you depends on your insurance and your dose — not on which option pays us the most, and we'll say so out loud on the call.
How to find your cheapest route in two steps
- Have insurance? Start with the $25 eligibility check. If your plan covers a GLP-1, the navigation path is often cheaper than any cash plan.
- Paying cash? Compounded is almost always the lowest-cost route; oral is the lowest entry point if you'd rather not inject.
