Common Questions
How long does the insurance approval process take?
Most checks complete within 3-5 business days. If approved, your prescription ships to your pharmacy immediately and you can start within 1-2 weeks total.
What if my insurance denies coverage?
No problem. About 15% of applicants get denied, but you can instantly switch to our self-pay program and start within 3-5 days. Many customers end up preferring self-pay for the speed and simplicity.
How much will this actually cost me each month?
If insurance approves you: $75/month membership + your pharmacy copay (typically $25-50). Total: ~$100-125/month for branded medication. Compare that to $400+ retail price.
Is the $25 eligibility check refundable?
No, it's non-refundable because we verify your insurance coverage whether you're approved or not. But if you get denied, you can apply that learning and switch to self-pay immediately.
Can I choose which GLP-1 medication I get?
Your insurance determines which medication they'll cover - Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, or Rybelsus. All are FDA-approved and equally effective. We'll get you whichever one your insurance approves.
Why can't you process Medicaid, Medicare, or Kaiser?
These plans have specific restrictions that prevent us from processing GLP-1 prescriptions. But our self-pay option works for everyone and often costs less than you'd expect.
What happens after I get approved?
You'll have a quick virtual consultation ($50 first month, included after that). If medically appropriate, your provider sends your prescription to your pharmacy within 24 hours. You pick it up, pay your copay, and start.
What does the $75/month membership include?
Ongoing doctor supervision, unlimited messaging with your care team, prescription refills, dosage adjustments, and side effect management. Think of it as your personal weight loss support team.
